Creatine, as we all know that it is the favorite pre-workout
shake for most of the athletes and weight lifters. There are many ways in which
creatine monohydrate is being
utilized by sports men to increase their performance in the field and the most
famous one is in the shape of powder. Most of the creatine products available
in the market are coming in powder form as it is quite easy to consume them
whenever and wherever. In the recent research about weight lifting and sports
men health, I have gone through some shocking revelations that creatine’s use
is inappropriate for most of the athletes if they are not following a proper
chart of dosage. The shocking thing for me was that I have always heard of
people and magazines boosting off the thousands of benefits of taking creatine
products and so on but here the case was reverse.

After going through this new, I went through some internet
research and found evidence of extremely notorious side effects of creatine monohydrate on athletes and weight lifters. Being a health trainer, this was
quite astonishing for me but then I gathered up my courage and decided to pen
down some facts for the guys working hard in the gym. Let’s have a look at what
really changes the game for the sports men and why they should take extra care
while using this stuff?
What research says about creatine monohydrate intake?
Research has basically unveiled the fact that to say it is
appropriate to take creatine before you workout for all the adults is not true
at all. The intake of creatine largely depends on some health variables. The
age of the athlete, his workout routine, physical condition, weight, health
condition and other factors determine the amount of creatine that is safe to be
consumer every day. If we are to follow this pattern then it is going to be
hard for the guys to go in a smooth creatine consumption routine and your
changing health and weight would increase or decrease the use of creatine for
you.
Why it is important?
To pay necessary attention to these variables is very
important because there has been lots of cases in US where excessive or even
regular use of creatine has contributed to serious damage to the health of
athletes. Once major problem that is often seen in later ages of those who are
habitual of consuming creatine is that their chances of facing a heart attack
are higher than any other normal person. Similarly some researchers have
critically proved that use of creatine results in a slow but steady decrease in
your eye sight making your lens weak with each passing day.
