Creatine Serum and Powder
Not many people are comfortable in knowing the difference between creatine serum and creatine powder. In fact, ever since creatine serum was introduced, there's been a raging debate over which should be used and which gets the best results.
At the present time, there is no cut and clear answer as to which works best, or in fact, if either gets better results than the other. It's really up to the individual to decide which is best for them. In this article, you will find information to help you make the choice that is best for you, or whether you should be taking creatine at all.
Creatine Serum
Also known as Liquid Creatine, creatine serum is the liquid form of creatine monohydrate. The only difference is that instead of ingesting powder, you're ingesting a liquid source. Creatine serum works as follows:
<ul>
<li>Boosts energy through ATP regeneration.
<li>Provides muscles with extra energy while working out.
<li>Helps the creatine user to gain strength and weight.
</ul>
Important Facts
The body's muscles do not absorb creatine serum instantly even though it's a liquid. It's claimed that creatine serum is easier to take than creatine powder. There is no clear evidence that this is true. Again, it depends on which type an individual prefers.
<ul>
<li>Ignore claims of instant absorption. Both the powder and the liquid take time to be absorbed.
<li>Claims of not having to load with liquid creatine are false. The only benefit of creatine serum is that it's liquid.
<li>Creatine serum can degrade to creatinine, which is useless to muscles.
<li>Both creatine serum and powder are equal; neither has special capabilities.
<li>Studies have concluded that creatine serum has higher levels
of creatinine than creatine. The labels of creatine serum have been found to state creatine content much higher than what is actually in the product.
</ul>
Creatine Powder
Creatine powder is, simply put, white powder. You can purchase a wide variety of types and brands. In recent years, creatine powder has become much more affordable. You can buy plain creatine powder or creatine powder that has been mixed with other supplements.
Side Effects
Side effects have been documented that range from cramps to kidney disease. The cases of kidney dysfunction all occurred in users who had a pre-existing kidney condition or a family history of kidney disease. However, use caution. You may not have access to all family history.
Creatine aggravates pre-existing kidney problems because of its high protein content. No cases of vomiting or diarrhea have been recorded. Documented side effects largely state rapid weight gain. However, use extreme caution when taking creatine and report any changes in health to a physician. Always take small doses of creatine in the off-season or on off-days to begin. Again, consult your doctor if you suffer any adverse effects.
Caution
Creatine has been proven to be beneficial in some people. However, it should be administered with extreme caution. Sports supplements are not properly regulated. Research should be done by each individual before starting this powerful supplement.
