Creatine has become mainstream back in 90's and now it's evolving to even a more potent supplement. It can help you gain lean muscle mass and indirectly help you lose body fat. Here are some commons questions and answers about creatine.

*Exactly what is creatine anyway? Creatine is a compound that occurs naturally in the human body or taken as a dietary supplement. The scientific term for Creatine is methyl guanidine-acetic acid. Creatine is composed of three amino acids - Glycine, Methionine, and Arginine. The human liver has the ability to combine these three amino acids and produce creatine. The other way we get creatine is from our diet/supplements.

*How does creatine help with exercise? Human muscles use ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) for anaerobic exercise (short burst exercises such as weight training).

*Is creatine a prohormone/steroid? No. Creatine will not alter with your testosterone/estrogen levels the way prohormones can.

*What Creatine Ethyl Ester HCI? Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl is an exceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced absorption, increased bioavailability, and stability. Creatine ethyl ester directly penetrates the muscle cell resulting in 30 to 40 times more functional creatine.

As it turns out my metabolism increased dramatically through weight training. My muscle gains were due to a combination of a solid weight resistance program, plenty of rest, proper dieting and the use of the right bodybuilding supplements. Creatine Ethyl Ester gave me an extra push to help me realize my optimal lean muscle gains.

For anybody looking to lose fat and gain muscle I would recommend focusing on a weight program (cardio is also important but often over emphasized). There is no substitute for hard work in the gym, proper dieting and plenty of rest (this last one is a common problem among hard gainers). If you are training vigorously I would recommend taking supplements for optimal performance.
