Nine myths about creatine
Table of Contents
1. Women shouldn't take creatine
Continuous creatine intake will only mean the ability to perform additional repetitions of seats, which will speed up the way to the desired circles. Creatine will help to increase strength during strength training, which translates to faster effects and smoothing of the figure. Many people think that creatine is reserved for men only.2. Creatine is causing baldness
The level of this testosterone metabolite is correlated with the faster rate of hair loss, and out of hundreds of studies testing creatine supplementation protocols, not a single one has shown that it leads to hair loss.3. The more, the better
Unfortunately, creatine works through satiety, and when our muscles are fully saturated with it, it's enough to take only 35 grams a day to maintain this state.4. Creatine causes abdominal pain
Creatine has the properties of binding to surrounding fluids and when consumed in large quantities and not taken with water, it can lead to these symptoms, but it is enough to take the recommended doses and drink plenty of water, and there should be no problems of a gastric nature.5. It has to be taken cyclically
Continuous creatine supplementation over the course of a year allows the muscles to continuously release phosphocreatinine and improve their athletic performance. Once the results are obtained, the test and creatine intake will be stopped but this does not mean that creatine stops working. In scientific studies, creatine is taken at intervals of about 6 weeks because that's how much it takes to get rid of it and check the results of the supplementation.6. It causes contractions
The complete opposite is true, according to a study from Baylor University, in which creatine-taking athletes experienced significantly fewer contractions, had better muscle mobility, and were better hydrated.
