What is creatine, and how does it improve exercise performance? - #14778
I’ve heard a lot about creatine in fitness circles, especially when it comes to enhancing workout performance, but I don’t fully understand how it works. How does creatine improve energy levels during exercise, and why is it so popular among athletes and bodybuilders? What is creatine, and how does it enhance exercise performance? I know it helps with energy production during high-intensity activities—how does it affect muscle cells, and what role does it play in replenishing ATP (adenosine triphosphate)? Can creatine also support muscle growth and recovery after intense workouts? I also want to know if creatine supplementation is safe. Does it cause water retention, kidney strain, or other side effects, and how can I avoid these risks while taking it? Are there any natural alternatives to creatine that provide similar benefits for strength and endurance? If anyone has used creatine, what were your results? Did it improve your performance, and did you experience any side effects or issues while using it?
