Creatine is an herbal health supplement used by those intererested in aiding the development of muscle tissue and enhancing athletic performance. Creatine has not been evaluated by the FDA for effectiveness or purity although some manufacturers have supporting evidence. If you may be considering the use of any herbal supplement a consultation with a primary physician could be to your benefit. Do not take creatine, unless recommended by a primary care physician, if you are pregnant or are breast feeding a baby. 

Creatine is produced naturally in humans in the liver, kidney and pancreas. A good source of creatine is in the digestion of meats and fish. There are several manufacturers of creatine supplements made in different forms such as powders, liquid serums and tablets. It would be up to the individual to decide which form would be the most convenient and beneficial to use. Using multiple formulations of creatine supplements at the same time is not recommended as this could lead to overdosing. It is also wise to drink plenty of fluids while taking creatine to avoid dehydration, cramping, or heat related illnesses.  Follow all labeling directions and store the product as directed to maintain its beneficial qualities.

Although uncommon, side effects have been reported with creatine use. Stop taking creatine if you experience any reaction to its use. There have been reports of difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue or face. Some reports are of hives or decreaseing amounts of urine.

I’m just giving you a quick update from my previous post from where i stated i had ordered some ‘Controlled Labs Green Magnitude’ creatine, this stuff really tastes good. I got the Sour Apple flavour, and at first i was thinking it’d taste horrible, but it does really taste nice!

If you’d like to take a look some cool offers on Controlled Labs Green MAGnitude Creatine.

Well it’s been a while since i’ve last posted on here, i’m fully setup in the new house now with my bench press etc. I’ve been bike riding daily for about half an hour. I haven’t done much weight training recently due to the move but i ordered some new supplements earlier today, Dymatize Elite Whey for my protein supplement and Controlled Labs Green MAGnitude for my creatine supplement. I’ve had good comments on both of these supplements so only time will tell! I’ll keep you updated!

As you may or may not have noticed, i haven’t actually posted on my journal category lately. I have been busy, we’re moving house next week so everything’s sort of hectic! Along with that i’ve had a few bad cases of the common cold which hasn’t helped with being physically bothered to lift weights! I’ve had a few weeks off using creatine, because of being ill and i ran out, so i’ll just leave weight training untill my mini gym is setup in the new house. I will be posting some interesting creatine reviews very soon.
