Thing about Creatine

I'm about 6'0 120 lbs and thinkingabout creatine? Is it hazardous to my health and how should i use it? I want to gain weight and muscle so thats my main motivation.

The first website I have listed below will help you gain muscle and weight in a healthy way. It will not be a dramatic change but, it will allow you to gain 1-2 lbs. a week if you follow what the website says.

I have also listed a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator in the second website to allow you to see what weight is a healthy weight for you to be.

What is creatine? Creatine is a protein made from amino acids. Our body makes one gram each day from protein. We also eat about one gram of creatine each day from meats such as beef, chicken or fish. When we take extra creatine we can store more energy. This allows the athlete to work harder and perform at a higher level. Researchers have even used creatine to treat people with neuromuscular diseases. Creatine increases these people鈥檚 strength and thus, their ability to stay active.

What are common side effects? These side effects include intestinal cramping, diarrhea, increased urination, and dehydration. These might be explained by the high doses of creatine people take. Many companies require that you "load" creatine by taking high doses for the first five days. When these high doses of powder enter the stomach they draw water from the body, causing the intestine to contract, just drinking sea water. These high doses do not translate into higher creatine levels in your muscle. Instead, they may be the very cause of the side effects, including intestinal cramping, diarrhea, increased urination, and dehydration.
