efit of creatine.
The third function of creatine is to buffer lactic acid build-up. Research has shown that creatine can help buffer lactic acid that builds-up in the muscles during exercise. The build up of this acid is what causes the burning feel a person gets in his muscles. Basically what happens is the creatine bonds with a Hydrogen ion and that helps delay the build up of lactic acid.
Its last known function is to enhance Protein Synthesis. There is some data that seems to indicate that creatine helps put the body in a more anabolic state where protein synthesis can occur. This is very useful because the greater the protein synthesis, the greater the muscle gain.
The first point of the four is the most valid one at this point, because at this point it appears to be the one effect of creatine scientists are sure of. How much creatine actually performs the other three roles is still under debate, though current research does seem to indicate that these three points are valid.
With those four functions of creatine in mind, it is eas
