Creatine is a particularly popular dietary supplement among individuals who workout in gyms. This is due to its confirmed anabolic effects and the influence it has on anaerobic physical activity, which is strength training. Therefore, creatine is primarily found in athlete supplement stores, and its presence in pharmacies is scarce. However, this does not mean that its use only increases potency. Creatine has many other benefits that surpass its impact on typical sports indicators. Creatine increases the level of phosphocreatine, a high-energy compound used during physical activity, in muscles and additionally hydrates muscle tissue, creating a highly anabolic environment. For athletes, this can bring additional benefits related to replenishing other energy reserves. Below is a list of 6 benefits of utilizing creatine, which are not typically discussed.

Ulepszanie zdolności poznawczych

Próba egzaminacyjna, test czy rozmowa kwalifikacyjna - wszystkie wymagają koncentracji, szybkiego przetwarzania informacji i odpowiedniej pracy mózgu. Na szczęście kreatyna może pomóc. Nie jest ona przechowywana tylko w mięśniach, ale również w mózgu, gdzie służy także jako rezerwowy źródło energii, magazynując reszty fosforowe. Wysoki poziom kreatyny w mózgu chroni nasze neurony przed skutkami podniecenia wywołanego przez nadmiar obecności glutaminianu. Badania przeprowadzone przez dr. Davida Bentona z Uniwersytetu w Swansea wykazały, że suplementacja kreatyną u wegetarian znacząco poprawia pamięć nawet po 5 dniach. Ten efekt nie został zaobserwowany u osób spożywających mięso - prawdopodobnie dlatego, że mięso jest źródłem kreatyny, co nie dopuszcza do nadmiernego obniżenia jej poziomów w mózgu.

Kreatyna - substancja hydrofilowa

Kreatyna, jako substancja hydrofilowa, jest rozpuszczalna w wodzie i może transportować cząsteczki wody. W momencie wchłaniania przez komórki mięśniowe przyciąga cząsteczki wody, zwiększając ich objętość i tworząc środowisko anaboliczne. Poprawiona nawadniania zmniejsza również ryzyko wystąpienia skurczów oraz poprawia wydajność sportowca. Dr Michael Powers pokazał w swojej pracy z 2003 roku, że nawet tylko tydzień uzupełniania kreatyną może pomóc zwiększyć ilość wody w organizmie o 1,37 litra.

Przyspieszony proces produkcji glikogenu

Szybkość procesu syntezy glikogenu jest bezpośrednio związana z wielkością komórki. Zaobserwowane powiększenie komórek podczas przyjmowania kreatyny oraz gromadzenia się płynów prowadzi do przyspieszenia procesu syntezy glikogenu. Wczesne badania wykazały, że po poddaniu komórek mięśniowych działaniu roztworu hipotonicznego, który spowodował ich powiększenie, nastąpił wzrost szybkości syntezy glikogenu o 75%. Z drugiej strony, roztwór hipertroficzny, który zmniejsza rozmiar komórek, spowalnia proces syntezy glikogenu o 31%.

Ograniczanie uczucia zmęczenia

Środkowe odczuwanie zmęczenia, które objawia się podczas ćwiczeń jako ciężkie oddychanie lub brak motywacji do działania, jest skutkiem nadmiernej produkcji neuroprzekaźnika serotoniny oraz wyczerpania się dopaminy. Wysoki poziom serotoniny w stosunku do dopaminy podczas wysiłku fizycznego wprowadza organizm w stan niekorzystny dla osiągnięć sportowych. Kreatyna wykazuje cechy syntezy dopaminy, co prowadzi do zmniejszenia uczucia zmęczenia. Badania wykazują ten efekt nawet przy stosowaniu 5 g kreatyny dziennie.

Jak skutecznie radzić sobie z depresją

Chociaż kreatyna nie jest lekiem przeciwdepresyjnym, to może ona wspierać fizjologiczne procesy, które pomagają w walce z tą chorobą. Właściwości te kreatyna zawdzięcza prawdopodobnie swojemu wpływowi na neuroprzekaźnika dopaminę, który został wspomniany powyżej. Zaledwie 0,1 mg kreatyny na kilogram masy ciała było wystarczające, aby wzmocnić działanie dopaminergiczne receptorów dopaminy w mózgu.

Hamowanie działania miostatyny

Miostatyna, białko obecne w mięśniach, spełnia rolę inhibitora, który ogranicza wzrost masy mięśniowej. Zwierzęta, które w wyniku mutacji genetycznych nie posiadają miostatyny, osiągają monstrualne rozmiary. U ludzi obserwuje się wzrost poziomu miostatyny po osiągnięciu określonej masy mięśniowej w rezultacie uporządkowanego treningu siłowego, jakby ciało mówiło, że masa mięśniowa jest już wystarczająca. Miostatyna stanowi przeszkodę dla wielu kulturystów i osób, które chcą uzyskać imponującą sylwetkę - na szczęście badania sugerują, że kreatyna może prowadzić do jej inhibicji. Konkretnie badanie opublikowane w 2010 roku w czasopiśmie naukowym "Molecular and cellular endocrinology" pokazało, że 8-tygodniowe uzupełnianie kreatyną pomogło zmniejszyć aktywność miostatyny o 17%, co powinno przekładać się na zwiększenie potencjału do budowy masy mięśniowej.
