Creatine
Creatine is produced from amino acids in the Kidney, Liver and Pancreas. 95% of the Creatine in our body is found in the muscles and the remaining 5% is found in the brain or heart.
Creatine Protein
Creatine supplementation can be beneficial for those who are interested in boosting energy to the muscles and in reducing muscle fatigue.
For the best results, Creatine should be taken with carbohydrates which produces an insulin surge and boosts Creatine uptake to the muscles.
Creatine does appear to increase muscle size because it causes the muscle to retain water and lends to muscle rigidity. When you stop taking Creatine this phenomenon soon disappears.
It is recommended to drink plenty of water, because Creatine can cause dehydration due to the increased water intake of the bodies muscles.
Bodybuilding magazines will probably suggest differently, however "loading", which is taking large quantities of Creatine (20-30 grams) is not recommended.
Excess Creatine is removed by the kidneys, so some experts question the benefits in people who already have sufficient levels of Creatine in their body.
Possible Side Effects
Some individuals are allergic to Creatine and these symptoms can include rash, itching and shortness of breath. Other side effects can include upset stomach, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, muscle cramps and weight gain.
Protein
Our cells have enzymes which are made of protein. These proteins help the cells to grow, reproduce and to create energy. Protein also keeps the cell stable and maintains the cell structure.
If you want your muscles to grow, protein is essential. Protein is key for muscle growth, muscle repair and maintenance.
Protein also helps to keep insulin levels stable and helps keep body fat low. It is recommended for those who are trying to build muscle that you consume at least 1 gram of protein per every gram of lean body weight.
As an aside, you should also note that you will not have significant muscle growth if your calorie intake does not exceed your calorie output.
Possible side effects
An excess intake of protein can cause high levels of nitrogen and amino acids which can be toxic. It can also cause dehydration, constipation, kidney problems and fatigue.
Summary
In summary, Protein is best for muscle growth and muscle repair.
Creatine is useful for a boost of energy to muscle during body building and to help reduce muscle fatigue.
