A look at the received ideas:

Composition

To learn more about creatine...

Creatine is a natural amino acid derivative used as a sports supplement for weight gain, muscle and strength improvement since the 90s.

It is naturally present in the body. Its contributions come either from endogenous synthesis from three amino acids (glycine, arginine and methionine), or from food (animal meat).

Creatine and doping:

Creatine has been the subject of great debate in sports circles. Indeed, she was accused of doping by the former sports minister Marie-George Buffet after some athletes admitted to having consumed it. It had even been hoped that it would appear on the list of doping products and it was wrongly accused of being banned in France.

These assertions were nevertheless descended by Dr. Jean-Marcel Ferret who recalled the fact that creatine was a natural substance that we consumed every day in our diet. Additionally, it was specified that there are no more valid reasons to oppose creatine supplementation as long as sugary drink supplements are sold. In fact, both glucose and creatine contribute to increasing glycogen reserves before, during and after exercise. So why would taking creatine be considered a doping gesture while taking glucose not?

Creatine is not currently prohibited in France, and even if certain controls support the fact that it does not appear on the list of authorized food substances, this list dates from 1912 and no national text specifically targets this substance. . In addition, creatine is freely available throughout Europe and is logically authorized in France under the texts on the free movement of goods.

Finally, creatine is not a dangerous or carcinogenic substance as the AFSSA had argued. On the contrary, creatine is a major ally for high-level athletes who see their body subjected to continuous stress, which therefore has much greater needs than another person.

Creatine and kidney hazard:

Since creatine is widely used by athletes and the elderly, doctors and users have wondered if it could harm kidney health. These questions followed some cases of kidney damage after taking this supplement in bodybuilders. However, these were only isolated cases and the people in question also consumed steroidal anabolic products that were often harmful to the kidneys.

Brazilian researchers then studied the subject to prove that creatine supplements were safe for kidney health. The team of researchers therefore carried out a meta-analysis of 290 studies that used creatine supplementation. Their analysis showed no correlation between creatine consumption and impaired kidney function. However, it is true that blood creatinine levels can be high and increased in people who consume this type of supplement. However, this is a false indicator that in no way reflects kidney damage.

Other results showed that there was no indication of kidney damage following creatine supplementation. Similarly, there was no change in the glomerular filtration rate (which helps assess kidney function).

In conclusion, most studies investigating creatine supplementation have shown no negative effects on kidney function related to this supplementation.

Dosage

➵ The recommended dose

Take a daily dose of approximately 3g ideally after training in combination with carbohydrates and proteins.

Creatine absorption can be enhanced by insulin, so consume creatine with carbohydrates, proteins, or substances that affect insulin. It is therefore more effective after training during your meal.

WARNINGS:

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as substitutes for a varied diet. A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. Keep out of reach of children under three years old. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.

"Creatine is one of the most consumed and used sports supplements in the world of fitness and sports in general. Many top athletes are supplemented with creatine to support their higher needs due to their intense practice. There is a lot of creatine on the market, and like any supplement, not all of them are good to consume, indeed there are creatines whose raw material is produced in China and contain harmful ingredients mainly due to poor manufacturing processes. Here, Créapure® is one of the quality references in terms of creatine. Indeed, it is guaranteed 100% pure and monohydrate, the best form of assimilation of synthetic creatine. Moreover, this creatine is produced entirely by process chemical which guarantees no traces of animal or plant-based products (perfect for vegans) Although not essential, creatine can be very useful in terms of support to muscle mass gain because it promotes the synthesis of intramuscular glycogen and thus avoids catabolism.
