đSo in most posts youâll see about supplements (especially with women) youâll see us talking about protein or aminos or fat burners, but what about creatine? Creatine is scientifically proven to đȘđ»increase strength, đȘđ»create LEAN body mass, đđŒââïžand help create ATP needed for explosive workouts... so why arenât we taking it or talking about it? đđ»A lot of us (including myself) have fed into the âbro-scienceâ that creatine makes you bulky or that it makes you retain water and that itâs only for men that want to get big... đ đŒââïžWell Iâm here to tell you this is all FALSE!đ đŒââïž đWhen I got certified in sports nutrition and supplementation at Glanbia headquarters I learned a lot about the importance of creatine intake and our teacher debunked all the myths associated with creatine showing that it is very beneficial with đ đŒââïžno bad side effects. We do get creatine from our meats like đ„©steak or salmon but itâs barely enough and our body tends to pee most of it out. So using creatine supplement is super important for those who workout and sweat a lot as well as vegans or vegetarians who are not getting any creatine from meat.đ„©
Even after learning about it I still didnât end up taking it until I started with my new coach and it was on my supplement list on the program he sent me. I always follow a program to the T, so I started taking it.Â
đȘđ»I have noticed significant stregnth gains and NO water retentionđ§! I can honestly say I am now a fan of the supplement! I put a scoop of @bsnsupplements creatine in my AminoX to drink during the workout. Iâve watched a lot of YouTube videos and some say to take it before / some say after / some say during so I just like taking it with the aminos so I donât get a weird taste. đ
So moral of the story.. donât be afraid of creatine! Itâs a very beneficial supplement for us women and men to be taking! đȘđ»đžđŒđLizzieIFBBProÂ
