WHY SHOULD EVERYONE CONSUME CREATINE Marco Mazzali 1A
Brain Health
Brain Energy
increases phosphocreatine levels
increases
ATP production
(BRAIN ENERGY)
Improved Mental Performance
short-term memory
concentration
reaction time
Neuroprotection
brain cell resilience
protects against
neurodegenerative diseases
cognitive decline
Physical Performance
increases
Strength and Power
high-intensity
short-duration
Muscle Growth (Hypertrophy)
water content in muscle cells
(cell volumization)
improving performance
boosting muscle growth
Endurance and Output
allows more
reps
sets
volume
Faster Recovery
Reduced Muscle Damage
less
inflammation
cell damage
Less Muscle Soreness
(DOMS)
decrease
delayed-onset muscle soreness
training more frequently
Quicker Recovery Time
Improves muscle repair
recover between workouts
Anti-Aging Benefits
Prevention of Muscle Loss
helps maintaining
muscle mass
strength
Support for Healthy Aging
develops mitochondrial function
reducing oxidative stress
promoting healthier aging
at cellular level
Increased Daily Functionality
Supports
mobility
quality of life
Safe, Natural
Naturally Occurring
found in
red meat
fish
Backed by Science
+500 studies
show positives effects
health
performance
safety
Low Risk of Side Effects
Safe
recommended dosages
(3–5g/day)
Personal Opinion
I've consumed creatine
no negative effects
positive effect
almost no muscle soreness
I drink more water
faster improvements in workouts

placebo vs creatine
why not?
not in normal conditions
Kidney Health Concerns
Pre-existing Kidney Issues
increases creatinine levels
confuse diagnostic tests
Water Retention and Bloating
Initial Water Weight Gain
draws water into muscle
2–4 lbs increase in water weight
Possible Gastrointestinal Issues
Stomach Discomfort
bloating
cramping
diarrhea
Not Necessary for Everyone
Low Physical Activity Levels
For Creatine Consumption
Metabolic Health
Improved Heart Muscle Function
Supports
cardiac muscle energy metabolism
heart conditions
Better Glucose Control
helps in
insulin sensitivity
glucose uptake
Energy Balance
Helps maintaining
efficient energy use
metabolic health
reducing the risk
falls and frailty
in small amounts
helping manage
type 2 diabetes
improving
training performance
even without exercise
efforts (weightlifting, sprinting)
by
restoring ATP faster
caused by
physical activity
creatine makes more muscle
