Creeteen is arguably the best studied and most effective performance enhancing supplement that

0:05.5

exists. Supplementing with creatine is shown time and time again to significantly improve

0:10.5

strength, power output, muscle size, and an array of other functions that we'll get into shortly.

0:18.1

So the first of many, though, the effects of creatine supplementation on strength.

0:23.6

Short term, cretein supplementation has been reported to improve maximal power slash strength by 5 to 15%

0:30.6

work performed during sets of maximal effort muscle contractions 5 to 15% single effort sprint performance by 1 to 5

0:40.3

percent and work performed during repetitive sprint performance 5 to 15 percent moreover creatine

0:47.2

supplementation during training has been reported to promote significantly greater gains

0:51.3

and strength fat-free mass and performance most most reliably during high-intensity exercise.

0:56.8

Creeteen's effect on strength is facilitated by increasing the body stores of phosphocretine, which is then used during high-intensity exercise to produce ATP.

1:07.3

Getting into the size, how does it increase size, what are the effects?

1:11.6

The impact on performance is very clear.

1:14.6

Creatine appears to also have inherent lean mass building properties that account for its

1:20.6

impact on muscle size though, but a large amount of research is confounded with water weight games,

1:26.6

which I do want to dissect a little bit. So for example,

1:29.5

it can get pretty extreme. One subject in the following study reported having a fairly

1:34.0

consistent body mass throughout the previous year, and he experienced a 10.58 pound, 4.8 kilogram

1:41.7

increase in body mass during the first week of cretein supplementation,

1:46.4

90% of which was accounted for by the increase in total body water. So a lot of people, when they think

1:53.1

of creatine, they think, oh, it's bloating, bad, not good. I don't want that. People who know

1:58.8

how my muscle functions, though, and what contributes to muscular volume, size, strength, anti-injury, understand that this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

2:11.3

So creatine's acute effects on muscle size are facilitated by drawing water into the muscle via osmosis, consequently increasing
