Verjetno poznatetistki, ki hodite na fitnes in jemljete dodatke.Kupuje se ga kot prašek (ponavadi) v obliki kreatin monohidrata. Splošno znan je pozitiven učinek glede pridobivanja mišične mase in vzdržljivosti. Poleg tega pa bi bilo vredno omenit še tale izsek iz članka:
Perhaps the most compelling use for creatine is its eects on brain function and
metabolism. I covered some of those eects in the past two articles but research
continues to show creatine is a key nutrient for brain function and metabolism in both
people with healthy or damaged/diseased brains. Traumatic brain injuriesaect thousands of people each year. The real tragedy however is that much of the
damage to the brain is not caused by the immediate injury, but due to cell death caused
by ischemia (a lack of blood ow and oxygen to tissues) and free radical damage/oxidative
stress. The ability of a cell to do work is directly related to its ATP status and the health
of the mitochondria. Heart tissue, neurons in the brain and other highly active tissues
are very sensitive to this system. Even small changes in ATP can have profound eects
on the tissues’ ability to function properly, which can cause damage and or death for
the cell. Of all the nutritional supplements available to us currently, creatine appears to
be the most eective for maintaining or raising ATP levels. Recent studies have shown
that creatine aords signicant neuroprotection against ischemic and oxidative insults.
One recent study called “Dietary supplement creatine protects against traumatic brain
injury” (Ann Neurol. 2000 Nov;48(5):723-9.) found creatine was very eective at reducing
damage to brain tissue after injury.
But what about the healthy brain you ask? No, you don’t need to injure your brain in
an auto accident to get benets! A recent study entitled “Oral creatine monohydrate
supplementation improves brain performance: a double-blind, placebo controlled,
cross-over trial” (Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences ˆ Vol. 270, No. 1529
on 22 October 2003.) found that six weeks of creatine supplementation at 5g per day
to 45 ve vegetarians using a double blind placebo cross over designed study, greatly
improved cognitive function. According the report put out by The Royal Society,”
Je še več v tej študiji, ampak za začetek bo ok.
