Supplements: Creatine & Specialist Nutrition

Creatine is one of those proven supplements that works. Period. Creatine is not a drug, it is a naturally occuring element in all muscle tissue and is part of the Creatine/ATP cycle. Numerous studies have been performed that show the beneficial effects of taking a good quality Creatine supplement. For anyone involved in intense anaerobic activity i.e. weightlifting, sprints, bodybuilding, combat sports, (short bursts of high energy activity) Creatine acts to ensure the primary fuel source, ATP, is replenished, and also acts to buffer lactic acid build-up (a by-product of anaerobic activity). The overall effect of taking Creatine is to enable the muscle to work harder for longer, thus increasing the hormonal response and muscle tissue adaptation to intense exercise. Beware of cheap low quality Creatine. Fitness Options staff have tested all the Creatines sold on this site and in-store and can attest to their quality.
