  • When it comes to building muscle and improving strength, supplements have become a significant part of many people's fitness journeys. Among these, creatine has long reigned as one of the most trusted and studied supplements.

The article from MSN discusses alternatives to creatine for those looking to build muscle and strength without using the popular supplement. It highlights several natural and supplement-based options:

  • Beta-Alanine: Known for reducing fatigue, allowing for longer and more intense workouts by increasing carnosine levels in muscles.
  • L-Citrulline: Enhances blood flow, which can lead to better muscle pumps and endurance during workouts.
  • Betaine (Trimethylglycine): Can increase strength, power, and muscle endurance, potentially aiding in muscle growth.
  • HMB (Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate): Helps in muscle recovery and might reduce muscle breakdown, supporting muscle growth indirectly.
  • Ashwagandha: An adaptogen that might increase testosterone levels, reduce stress, and improve muscle strength and recovery.
  • Protein: Essential for muscle repair and growth, with options like whey, casein, or plant-based proteins being recommended.
  • Bicarbonate: Used to buffer lactic acid, potentially allowing for more intense workouts by delaying fatigue.

    The article emphasizes that while these alternatives can be effective, they might not provide the same immediate energy boost as creatine, but they offer various benefits that can contribute to overall muscle building and strength enhancement. It also notes the importance of a balanced diet, proper hydration, and adequate rest alongside these supplements for optimal results.
