What is Creatine Monohydrate by Transcend?
In short, Creatine Monohydrate enhances your body's ability to produce ATP which is responsible for the transfer of energy between cells. What this means is your body becomes better at fueling their cells to perform exercises and this will translate usually in the form of being able to pound out more repetitions of say an exercise like bench press, and eventually leads to an increase in strength. Users typically report an increased ease of ability in lifting weights when creatine supplementation is undertaken.
This means you will notice increase in strength by taking this product which will usually translate to better muscle growth over a typical 8-12 week creatine cycle.
What the dosage and is it safe to take Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken for up to 18 months. We usually suggest a 5 gram daily dose for 8-12 weeks followed by a 4 week break however daily doses of 5 grams for up to 18 months have been safely used.
Loading phase (20g per day for the first 5 Days) is another method that can be used to speed up the effects of creatine. Doses up to 25 grams daily for up to 14 days have been safely used but we suggest sticking to the 20g/day for 5 days Protocol.
What are the side effects of Creatine Monohydrate?
Some users with a more sensitive disposition to products may report 'bloating'. As creatine has the natural side effect of pulling water into your muscles, some users experience a slight weight increase from this effect.
It's essential to drink plenty of water when taking creatine. Creatine might cause you to gain some weight from the water pulled into your muscles. This is 100% Normal and will subside after use but if this is an undesired effect, we recommended opting for:
- KreAlkalyn Creatine Capsules by EFX
- Con-Cret Creatine HCL by Promera
- Creactor Creatine HCL By Muscletech
