So I started doing Martial Arts. I am working on my diet and getting better as I progress. I was thinking once I had a solid diet, with a workout routine of six to nine weeks solid and doing college at the same time, that I would add creatine to my diet. I known people who used it and claimed that its helped, but I am not exactly sure what it does? I been told you gain muscle size, it boost strength, and basically it gives you more endurance. I am doing BJJ mainly, and hitting the gym on the side, with school. On google post on this topic date back to 2011, I was wondering what the word was in 2019. Also if you can list brands that would be cool. Thanks.

The primary benefit of creatine is an improvement in strength and power output during high-intensity exercise of short duration (under a minute), such as weight lifting and sprinting. For this purpose, creatine is well-researched, and the effects are quite notable for a supplement. When used in conjunction with resistance exercise, creatine may modestly increase lean mass. It is not of benefit in purely aerobic exercises. It will not do anything for you if not combined with resistance training.
Creatine supplementation appears to be more effective in people with low initial creatine levels, while people with higher levels may not respond as well. This means if you already consume a lot of meat, you may not benefit much from taking creatine.
I first started taking creatine in 1995 and have used it on and off since then. It basically allows you to lift harder, meaning shorter rest periods, more reps, and more sets. I used to take it immediately after working out, but found I tolerate it better if I take it with meals.

I think the OP is able to run a Google search. It looks like you did and just copy/pasted here, lol.
I always scratch my head when people discuss creatine as if it had steroid like effects. Just get a solid pre/post workout w/creatine in it, eat right and go for it, but don't expect creatine to put you on the cover of muscle and fitness.

I agree. I've found the benefits to be slight. I think results vary greatly based on your diet. Some people already have as much creatine stored and will just eliminate any excess.

when the government sees that something is too effective, they make it illegal.
ive gone through periods where i threw some creatine in my pwo shake and times where i didnt. i would say i dont notice a benefit from it. but its cheap and easy and its supposed to do something.
