Pre-workout nutrition has become an essential part of my routine. I like to combine nutrition with my workouts so I don’t feel like it’s more work than other workouts or the time I spend in the gym. These protein supplements provide me with energy and focus for my workouts and also help me stay on track with my diet later on.
The most recent pre workout supplements were an energy and focus booster that you can get at any nutrition store, as well as the all-time favorite, creatine. That’s right, all-time favorite. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used creatine and felt that I needed to skip my workout because I was so out of it. That’s because creatine is one of the best pre workout supplements out there.
Creatine is one of the most popular supplements out there. It has one of the most unique formulas (hence the marketing hype) and you can get it from every nutrition store. Its also one of the most affordable. As such, it’s becoming the go to supplement for anyone looking to get a jump start on their workout regimen and to help people stay on track. The problem is what happens if you’re not a fan of creatine.
I am not a fan of creatine because I have some major issues with it. Let’s talk about the main issues. First off, the name creatine. It sounds like the name of a rock band and that’s not what it is. It sounds like a drug and that is not what it is. And lastly, creatine is a supplement that is not supposed to be taken with meals. This means that you have to eat the supplement for it to work.
The creatine in your body is pretty much all water. It is not a good idea to take creatine with a meal. The reason is because you can metabolize the other two ingredients in the supplement, creatine monohydrate and creatine phosphate. Each of these are good for you and should be taken along with meals. The problem is creatine is not metabolized in a meal and therefore is not good for you.
This is a little known fact, but creatine monohydrate is a muscle-boosting supplement that’s often used with a meal. The problem with creatine monohydrate is that it’s very water soluble and therefore you need to take it with a meal in order to get the full benefit, which is a pretty bad idea.
Creatine phosphate is different. Creatine phosphate is a water soluble supplement which means it is more likely to be absorbed by the bloodstream. It is well known to be good for athletes and most athletes use creatine. This is because creatine phosphate is a much better muscle builder than creatine monohydrate.
But, as anyone who has ever used creatine will tell you, creatine is incredibly water soluble and you need to take it with meals in order to get the full benefit. There’s also the issue of creatine being highly acidic. A bad idea.
Well, it may not be a bad idea to take creatine in a meal. So I guess not having to take creatine with every meal is a good thing. But at least have the option.
Yes, creatine is a great way to get your muscles working. But, you shouldn’t rely on it alone. You should take a little creatine before your workout if you feel that you need it. But it isn’t the only way to get lean, and it isn’t the only way to get your muscles to look better. The best way is to take a supplement that contains creatine that you use before and after your workouts, and you should also drink a lot of water.
