Wall Street Journal Best Seller Dr. M's Seven-X Plan for Digestive Health
We have all heard of athletes using creatine supplements to improve their exercise performance. Does it really work?
They studied the effect of a low-dose, short-duration creatine in 40 physically active men. The subjects either received creatine (6 g per day) or placebo. The subjects performed three 15-second Wingate anaerobic power tests. Testing was done during each session.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
There was no difference in peak or mean power or the total work between creatine and placebo groups.
However, creatine group had much lower fatigue rate. These results are of course applicable to anaerobic exercise performance.
At the same time, there also studies suggesting that creatine supplementation does not enhance submaximal aerobic training adaptations in healthy subjects.
Does any one of you or someone you know take these supplements? In the light of above studies, would you be taking creatine supplements? Let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear from you.
