Modern Science in Action: Creatine Nitrate for Strength Gains

The latest creatine nitrate studies have been lighting up the fitness world. They have shown that nitrate can dissolve in water several times as well, which means that creatine nitrate products will be much more efficiently absorbed by the body. Creatine can only be absorbed in the aqueous phase once mixed with water, which is an area that typical monohydrate supplements struggle with.

Some bloggers still raise some valid points about this new type of supplement:

  1. This study shows that the results are better outside the body, technically tests need to be done with real people
  2. More studies need to be done anyways to confirm the results

So What Does this Mean?

For a fitness enthusiast looking for practical supplement use improvements, creatine nitrate is worth a try. You can try using a much smaller amount than you are used to with your current monohydrate supplements because it should be used by your muscles much more efficiently. So even though you'll pay more up front for the product, you'll use it much slower and may save money in the long run.

The most important thing to remember is that although creatine and other supplements can improve your performance in the gym, they should be treated as bonuses and not relied on. Most of your improvement should come from consistent hard work, with supplements providing icing on the cake.
