That summer at the Barcelona Olympics, British athletes were already using it, a supplement that had been unwanted.

A few years earlier, it had made its informal debut on the world stage.

Now, I love this story, and I will come back to what it exposes at the end.

But by the end of this episode, you will know the facts that pertain to you, who should take creatine, whether it's safe, the real side effects, and exactly.
podcast-host
How does it work?
podcast-host
First, what creatine is and what it's not.
podcast-host
Creatine is not an anabolic steroid.
podcast-host
It is not a stimulant and it is not a hormone.
podcast-host
It's a compound your body already makes from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine.
podcast-host
And one you already eat every time you have meat or fish.
podcast-host
Research indicates high quality.
podcast-host
Creatine monohydrate is recognized as safe by regulators and has been studied at doses well above maintenance for years at a time in populations ranging from infants to the very elderly.
podcast-host
So we always have to ask: what is the mechanism of action?
podcast-host
Creatine is the raw material your muscles use to rapidly regenerate ATP, the body's immediate energy currency, through what is known.
podcast-host
Known as the phospho-creatine system.
podcast-host
ATP powers muscle contraction, but your stores are small and can be spent within seconds during intense effort.
podcast-host
By increasing the creatine stores, which makes a ton of sense in your muscle, supplementation expands the rapid energy reserve.

So, like in my morning workout, which was brutal this morning, I can produce high force for a little bit longer before fatigue or nausea set in.
