Taking creatine and protein can help you build muscle, lift more weight, and improve your overall performance in a wide range of athletic activities whether it's used for weight lifting, cardio, or sports. Many people want to start taking protein and creatine since they are natural supplements but they aren't exactly sure how it works within the body. There are also many myths ranging from muscle cramps all the way to kidney damage. So today we're going to take a journey inside the body to find out exactly what happens when you supplement with protein and creatine for 30 days straight based on scientific evidence.
To fully understand the changes and reactions that'll happen you need to understand what these supplements are and where they come from. Starting first with protein, which is one of the three main macronutrients, protein, carbohydrates, and fats. It's made up of building blocks called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids that can form a protein and most are naturally produced within your body. However, nine of these amino acids can't be produced by your body on its own. These are known as essential amino acids and need to be obtained from food.
When we consume protein, whether it comes from plant or animal sources, it undergoes a series of transformations. First, our body's priority is to break down the protein into amino acids. This breakdown process begins in the mouth through chewing, then continues in the stomach where gastric juices assist in further digestion. After that, the partially digested protein enters the small intestine, where specialized enzymes and acids from the pancreas complete the breakdown, ultimately resulting in singular amino acids ready for utilization.
Once the amino acids are in their individual form, they are transported to the liver, which acts as a control center. The liver rearranges and combines these amino acids to synthesize the specific proteins that the body needs. Different proteins have diverse functions, such as aiding the immune system, facilitating chemical reactions, transporting molecules, or assisting in DNA synthesis.
The average person doesn't consume enough protein but it's also totally possible to overconsume it. Unfortunately, our bodies don't have a storage system for excess protein, unlike carbohydrates. So, any surplus protein that you take in will be broken down and stored as fat. During that process the liver removes the nitrogen from the amino acids, excreting it as urine, while the remaining components, known as alpha keto-acids, undergo a chemical process to form triglycerides that get stored in fatty tissues.
In certain instances such as when you're cutting calories really low or you're fasting, alpha-keto acids can be converted into glucose for immediate fuel, but your body prefers to rely on fats and carbs for fuel rather than protein which is reserved for tissue repair.
Creatine on the other hand is a molecule that's naturally produced in the body, primarily in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It's actually made from three amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. You can also obtain creatine from certain foods, particularly meat, and fish. Creatine is important for energy metabolism because it helps to replenish adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP which is the primary energy currency of your cells.
Now it’s important to keep in mind that the things that'll happen to your body when you take creatine and protein for 30 days will depend largely on how much creatine and protein you’re already consuming. In regard to creatine, the most often recommended dose for supplementation if you want the fastest results is to do a loading phase where you take 20 to 25 grams of creatine monohydrate for the first five to seven days followed by five grams of creatine monohydrate daily. While it is possible to consume five grams of creatine per day through the food you eat, it’s very tough to do for most people.
For example, 3.5 ounces of herring contains 1.1 grams of creatine, 3.5 ounces of beef contains 0.9 grams, 3.5 ounces of salmon also has 0.9 grams, and 3.5 ounces of pork has 0.7 grams. And those are the most creatine-dense foods available meaning that most foods have lower amounts. So, if you eat somewhere around 2 to 3 pounds of fish and meat every day it is technically possible to consume high amounts of creatine through diet alone. In that case, supplementing with extra creatine likely won’t deliver any additional benefits since your muscle creatine stores will already be full. But most people don’t come anywhere close to getting enough. The same thing applies to protein. If you already consume enough protein...

How can this assist me as someone who has had bariatric surgery?
Please don't take new research and studies as gospel, they have to be empirically reviewed to be accepted. Over use of creatine can effect kidney and liver function. Everyone has a different amino acid metabolic rate. It is always better to start small as the video suggested.
@Vernon Seek specialist advice from those monitoring your medical situation ie dietitian. In most cases, the surgery only reduces the physical bulk of food to loose weight. The quantity of macro and micro nutrients shouldn't matter in none solid forms. I'm sure you are currently taking more liquid forms of nutrient supplements on a controlled portioned diet. Adding creatine generally would be a benefit, as explained in the video. But if in doubt, start off on a smaller dose, as the video stated.
Can I take creatine as a 15 years old?
Whey protein can spike your insulin levels. Beware.
I was a lean fit muscular person then cancer treatments made me lose 22 lbs. I beat the cancer but had a long road to recovery because my body needed to recover. Light calisthenics to more difficult as I grew stronger and introduced weights about a year later. Whey and creatine was and still is part of my training. I gained back 30 lbs in lean muscle and I feel great.
Well done for beating Cancer 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m a 43 year old man that had a protein deficit and went from a 34 waist to a 28. Your videos really helped me, now I am a lean 32 with muscle. Thanks man, grateful from gdl mexico
Keep lifting king! Your senior self will thank you.
Same here but 27 years old. Lost 80 pounds in about a year and a half and put on about 20 pounds of muscle in the last 6-8 months.
Can I take creatine as a 15 years old?
i went from 28 to 34 - teach me your ways master lol congrats on the gains.
@@OtakuTracks101Yes. Creatine is completely safe and it is something your body makes naturally. Mostly what it does is pull water into your muscles and store atp (which is what our muscles use for energy). If you take creatine daily, it will make your muscles look bigger and you will likely get 2 or 3 extra reps each workout.
Aint no way you got a Jefferey Dahmer clip for eating meat
my thoughts exactly...
lol right like ppl fucking sick in the head now a days.
I saw that too😭😂
Xd
lmao, that was certainly an interesting choice of clip
5:25 had me trippin looking for another open tab playing a video lol
Same. 😂
I caught that double audio part 🙁
Hahahahaha

4:27 thank me later
Thanks

Thanks
Thank you bro.🥺
thanks
so creatine assists the muscles with energy to train harder and longer by recovering fast; during that process the muscles retain water for muscle volume. Exercise stimulates muscle growth (mass) which is enhanced by protein. Hence creatine addresses training, and muscle volume, while protein is responsible for muscle growth stimulated by resistance training.
5:25 thought I was overdosing on creatine there for a minute
😂
😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
loading phase that is only MYTH that is not true that is only a marketing strategy for you to run out faster to buy more... all you need is 5g of creatine = 1 scoop

No one else even noticed it lol
No wonder dahmer was so strong jk
Very well explained video, thank you ! Also an audio issue at 5:25
Freaked me out 😂😂😂
Thought I was having a stroke
Listening at 3:00 am freaked me out😂
I thought i had hallucinations 😅
I thought the shrooms were kicking in hard
I’m 36 and weigh 150. Started taking creatine and about 120 grams of whey protein a month ago. I have explosive energy at the gym and have increased my weights by 20-50 pounds depending on the exercise! I’m seeing amazing results. I did have to change my reps tho. With all the heavy weight I do only 6-8 reps instead of 12. More sets and lower reps. Can’t wait to see what 60 and 90 days looks like!
My guy that's way too much protein powder. The recommended amount is like 2 scoops (30g)
I started the year weighing 149lbs with 15.5inch arms. Now I’m at 172 with 17inch arms. I’ve actually run out of weights on my bench for the first time and have to buy more plates. I have the endurance to bench press for an hour straight while training biceps in between rest periods on the bench
I’m 5’10 so my arms aren’t just large because I’m an elf. I seem to respond well to creatine and definitely would not have put on this much mass within such a short timeframe without it. Also, I need to throw in some more leg days so it’s basically 20lbs of upper body muscle I’ve put on in under 6 months.
How many grams of Creatine did you take a day?
Man I honestly recommend no creatine just do it natural. That stuff not good for the body over time
@@quiasnoorzad I only take 2 capsules (2.5g) a day then wash it down with a protein shake to kill two birds with one stone. Followed by a second protein shake in the evening before a meal.
In hindsight it says to take 5g per day but I’m seeing good results and the bottle last twice as long. You can adjust as you see fit. I’d recommend the capsules from Optimum Nutrition. Just google creatine monohydrate and you should find it
Bro showed jeffery dahmer eating talking about protein 💀
How bad u want those gains? 😂
Been using creatine on and off for around 20 years now. Muscle cramps are not a myth for me. Hydrating well resolves the issue to an extent, but not completely.
If u dont mind, Please ans my queries
How much creatine u take per day
What is your on-off cycle duration
Does your arm increased and by how much?
Suffered hair fall?
@@PalashAgrawalECE hey mate. When I was younger (in my 20s), I used to take 4 grams per day for around 2 months and break for a month. It basically did what everyone now knows that it does - got me to feel about 15% stronger (judging by my ability to lift more weights when I was on it) and to recover faster. I usually got around half an inch on the arms size. By the end of the first month however I was always getting cramps in my legs when being physically active - maybe because I also combined it with quite a lot of alcohol and partying :-))). Post 30 I reduced dramatically the dosage - using 1,2 grams capsule of Monohydrate per day and the cramps problem is somewhat resolved. That being said, my training routine has also changed significantly. I'm near 38 now and I train mainly for endurance and flexibility - I swim around 8 km every week and do 100 pull-ups and dips as strength training in the weekends. I continue to use it for the general benefits of it as I think that creatine is one of the "superfoods" for longevity of our body. As for your last question - in my 30s there was some hair recession, compared to my earlier years, but I can't say to what extent it can be correlated to the usage of creatine. Many people my age are already bald and never actually used the supplement, so it's hard to say. Also - I'm a swimmer and people say that using caps and constantly being in the pool with chlorine water can have some negative effects on the hair.
@@PalashAgrawalECE- take 3-5 grams bro , just 1 scoop & throw it in your mouth with water. Make sure u drink a good amount of water ! On your 14th day you’ll for sure feel a difference bro. I’m 24 170 pounds and it’s definitely helping. Get either Thorne Creatine or Op nutrition creatine powder.
MAGNESIUM
@@iassenlazarov4421 I'm a beginner. Around 2 month. Would you recommend me creatine??
5:24 - 5:30 really tripped me out while i was trying to listen and sleep
Great info, I just decided to ramp up my protein intake and plan to do so consistently!
Well, unfortunately if you keep ramping and ramping and then adding MORE protein and creatine supplements then your kidneys and liver will inevitably get affected sooner rather than later. Best thing to do is ramp it up with MODERATION or else it will be too late for your organs🤷🏼♂️ Gluck human🖖
@@alexg.9279or drink enough water with it
@@alexg.9279or just eat 😂
@@alexg.9279
somebody surely don’t know about H2O here
To aid in protein intake I'd suggest getting some Isopure protein powder. It's probably the best stuff on the market and isn't loaded with fluff. In most of their products they use only whey protein isolate as a protein source and that's the only ingredient in some of their products. It's just great stuff.
Most information correct, yet a true understanding of proteinsynthesis is needed.
For people who easily cramp, easily get headaches, or easily have stomach aches, creatine will cause the said symptoms BUT the trick is drinking lots of water after taking creatine!! I easily have headaches but if I drink 600 ml of water or one full shaker bottle after taking creatine (I directly ingest in powder form). I only get headaches when I forget to drink lots of water right after taking creatine, yes, it has to be right after taking creatine because it will cause water retention
1:05 bro really used a dahmer clip to emphasis getting your proteins in😂😭
* Normalize protein * jk

Its been another month.
Still going?

Uh so what
Is whey protein and creatine bad for people with prediabetes?
No, they both are natural substances already found in your diet. You are just increasing their amount by taking them as a supplement. Protein is essential for muscle growth and is very safe for people prediabetes. Creatine on the other hand is not required for muscle growth, you can skip it if you would like. But creatine is also very safe and is the most researched supplement.
This helped me understand so much. Thanks man 🤞🏾

Great video, only critique from me, as a European, please use both measurements (or show metric on screen for those who are interested), because i have no idea what ounces actually mean and pounds are also difficult to interpret due to the measurement having different meanings in certain countries
You’ll look bigger be slightly stronger get more reps in but I experienced endless thirst and pain in my liver and my hair started thinning.
That was 10+ years ago some comments are like well shit son your gonna lose your hair anyways well I still have it and it hasn’t thinned in that time period as bad as it did when I took creatine.
People that look at studies without side effects have to understand that a fraction of people out there like myself will have those side effects.
I wasn’t in the study
I took creatine and had insane results. I stopped taking creatine recently because I'm afraid that I will loose my hair. My hair is equally important as my body.
How long till you see the effects of hairloss? I have the same issue about it as i just started using creatine recently, but im scared to loose my hair.
There is no evidence for that. Only 1 study with 20 Football players.
loose hair is wild

"Say your prayers and eat your vitamins brother!"
I consumed creatine 20g/day along with whey protein which caused a weight gain of 0.5kg in 3 days and was able to lift 10kg additional weight during workouts, the only side effect I experienced was excessive sweating.
Same thing happened to me
So, are you telling me I stopped taking Creatine for no reason? I was told it makes your body to retain water.
It retains water in the muscles, which is a good thing. It’s not going to make you bloated. If you take it though, make sure you drink plenty of water.
Hello, but doesnt salt water pulls water into muscle what makes creatine better.
Pulling water into the muscles is just a side effect of taking creatine, it’s not the reason most people take it. Creatine builds up the amount of ATP (energy) that is stored in the muscles and allows you to work harder for longer and therefore build muscle quicker.
What’s your thought on effectiveness with pre and post creatine intake, ie. 4 grams pre and 1 gram post, or visa versa
If you're still looking for an answer, creatine is not time crtitical, as it is a cumulative effect resulting from increased availability of ATP in the muscles. Essentially it means it doesn't matter what time of day you take it, as long as you are consistently taking enough to increase the available ATP in your body.
I love your channel dude you’re informative honest no bro science love it thanks

Does it cause hair loss ?
All things said are true here. Now I want to ask something. I am getting protein powder and creatine for the past 1 month + and have seen massive improvement at the gym and in energy levels. But still when I started taking protein and creative I had diarrhea and stomach acne. Now symptoms are lighter but still persist. I read somewhere that these effects are because some people are lactose intolerant. But I eat dairy products on a daily basis and don't have any similar symptoms. Is it normal? Will I have any health issues in the future if I keep taking protein and creatine supplements?
I had the same issue. Switched to whey isolate. A bit more expensive but solved the issue.
It depends on the amount you take. Creatine doesn’t cause that it’s the protein powder. Guy above me probably knows more than I do
I also suffered acne, So I switched to plant protein and also avoided milk, butter
It might also be that you got a poor quality protein powder. If you use whey i recommend the gold standard whey protein by optimum nutrition. Do not get weight gainers. They contain bunch of sugars and bunch of other crap which leads to acne. Also you can combine the shake with water insted of cow milk. And if you want to be like me i use almond milk and its very light for my stomach. Dont feel bloated compare to cow milk
Please make sure there r no bubbles before u drink protein, and drink slowly
Hello! Is it ok to drink creatine powder before work out?

Does the dht level increase if we consume plenty of creatine in a single day or does it increase as we consume the recommended amount of creatine everyday?
Can anyone help me with this question, please?
No it does not effect dht there’s absolutely no evidence it’s a myth until proven 2 much assumption’s not proven
You have a comment that says yes and another that says no.
Let me make it more confusing and say ‘maybe’
Not the Dahmer clip at eating protein 💀
Certainly! Here's a concise summary:
**Protein and Creatine Supplementation for 30 Days:**
- **Protein:**
- One of three main macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats).
- Comprises amino acids, with nine essential ones that must be obtained from food.
- Body breaks down consumed protein to utilize amino acids.
- Excess protein gets converted and stored as fat; our body doesn't store excess protein like it does with carbohydrates.
- Essential for functions like immune support, chemical reactions, transporting molecules, and DNA synthesis.
- Consuming more can lead to reduced hunger, increased metabolism, faster workout recovery, stable energy levels, improved mood, better immune response, and improved skin, hair, and nails.
- **Creatine:**
- Produced in the body from amino acids Arginine, Glycine, and Methionine.
- Found in foods like meat and fish.
- Essential for energy metabolism by replenishing ATP.
- Increasing intake can lead to fuller muscle creatine stores, which can increase muscle volume due to water retention.
- Can enhance gym performance and muscle endurance.
- Most experience benefits without side effects, but some might have mild side effects like cramping or nausea.
**Effects of 30-day Supplementation:**
- **Creatine:**
- Muscles appear larger, might gain weight due to water retention.
- Improved gym performance.
- Faster recovery from workouts.
- **Protein:**
- Reduced hunger leading to fewer calories consumed.
- Increased metabolism.
- Faster workout recovery and potential muscle growth.
- Enhanced mood and cognitive function.
- Strengthened immune system.
- Possible reduction in blood pressure.
- Aesthetic benefits due to collagen, keratin, and melanin production.
**Note:** Supplements are supplementary; diet and exercise are more crucial for health and fitness outcomes. No added benefit from taking protein and creatine simultaneously.
lmao rajinikanth's cameo appearance on gravity transformation's you tube video
0:40 20 Amino acids, 9 essentials CAN’T be produced
2:00 Protein CAN’T be stored, excess turns into fat
2:35 Creatine naturally produced by liver, kidneys and pancreas
3:05 Loading phase 20-25g daily, then 5g for maintenance
4:00 0.7g protein per lb
4:30 Creatine pulls water into muscle cells, facilitating muscle protein synthesis and growth
5:30 More reps and weight load
6:30 Enhanced Post-workout recovery
7:50 Higher protein = highly satiated = less calorie intake = fat loss = higher energy = better mood
10:00 Robust immune response, decrease in blood pressure; better skin, hair and nails
Excess calories are stored, not simply excess protein. Protein can be converted into glycogen, so unless you have excess glycogen, you won't store excess protein as fat. Protein is also hardest to digest and 20-30% of the calories from protein are used just in the digestion processes.
Which whey protein is best for muscle building
If you're trying to lose weight and aren't really working out, can you just take the protein and skip the creatine?
@@---------------24569 yep I started taking protein after having lost 15 pounds and I started walking the same day, my weight loss halted for about 3 weeks, I don't know if that was from the protein or losing fat and gaining leg muscle, but then I started taking half a scoop of protein and now I'm currently down 20 pounds.
Thanks for the info!!! 👌👌👌
One question, can my parents use creatinine and protein? They do really light workout, would it help them feel better ?
If they only do light exercises, they shouldn't consume both. I suggest they get their protein sources from whole foods.

Does it make sense to start this while losing weight? I understand youll gain a little weight with creatine, but can you still lose weight overall despite that little increase?

That’s what I’m doing and it’s working out. I was doing 10g of creating on my loading phase and went up by 4 pounds. Now I’m just taking 5g and I’m still dropping weight and my muscle endurance and appearance is still looking good. From 214 in October to 180 currently. Trying to get to 170
@@jucci178how much calories and protein u consume per day?
@@jucci178nice work. Have you been gaining lots of muscle also? With the creatine and protein intake?
@@868AIB I gained a little muscle in my shoulders and triceps with gained strength and endurance. Went from only being able to do 8-10 body weight dips to 15-20 dips a set.
Any initial weight you gain from taking creatine is just water weight that will go away eventually anyway.
How much whey protein should you take?
Should I still take both even if I’m cutting?
Yes, when cutting you want to keep protein high, you can take creatine while cutting too. It doesn't actually matter as they aren't steroids.
Is it good for muscular dystrophy?
hey brother, can you make a video about what happens to the body when under eating ? especially when on calorie deficit but goes extremes (1500 calories a day) , it seems like the body doesn’t lose weight when so low on calories
It’s because your metabolism slows way down and goes into “starvation mode”.
exactly, if your calorie deficit is too high, your body will react to that and burn less calories and therefore you will lose less weight.
You will lose weight. Very fast actually. But your body will start turning everything it can to fat and that will last a good while after you quit
1500 cal a day is not extreme bro. i imagine you live in usa
1500 a day is my bmr 😂
Bro really used Evan Peters as dahmer and we is eating people meat
Yooo bro, I used to do push ups every day and I saw the results as time went, this was last year, now I feel like I'm losing so much muscle and stuff... help a brother out man
Hit the gym, push ups alone will never be enough or at least switch up the push up variations like put legs on bench or table or even wall
You need to do bench press or barbell press and cable flys. Like 30kg per arm or more.
You need to start doing weighted pushups now. At a certain point, after about 30 reps, you NEED to add weight in order for pushups to be an effective muscle building exercise.
What's a good creatine brand to start with?
