The mechanism by which creatine helps in improving strength is pretty clear; however, the effects of creatine in increasing muscle growth/mass and its underlying mechanisms are still questioned. Hence the study was conducted to find out how creatine helps in increasing muscle mass. What do we kno...
The ability to recharge ATP to increase muscle creatine levels makes supplementing with creatine a great way for athletes, especially those involved in short term explosive training, such as weightlifting and sprinting, to enhance their muscle strength, weight gain,lean bodymass, explosive power, and...

Key findings of this review show that DR may have an impact on exercise performance by altering muscle structure and function due to EIMD. In the majority of studies, EIMD are assessed through isometric maximal voluntary contraction, blood creatine kinase and delayed onset muscle soreness, with ...
If you are transitioning into a state of ketosis then you should use a loading phase with this stuff. For that, it is recommended that you take three servings per day for two to three days, and one of these servings should be ingested fifteen minutes pre-workout. ...
