IS CREATINE GOOD FOR THE BODY?

               People want to have a body that everyone wants to look at and some will take supplements and drink protein drinks just to have what they think would be the perfect body. But are these supplements more harmful than helpful? However there are a lot of supplements and protein shakes out there but there is one that caught my attention when there was a news announcement on the internet. It said that the long term affects of these supplements could harm your body, one of these being creatine. However the research is still new on creatine researchers still say that it has the potential to cause some damage in the body. The University of Maryland says that creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid in the body that is produced by the liver, kidneys and pancreas. These creatine supplements help boost that production of creatine in peoples bodies, the catch is that not everyone’s body is the same. Some people already might have naturally occurring high creatine levels anyway therefore not getting any effects of the supplements. But some people who have regular or low levels of creatine are more apt to get the affects they desire. However they may get those effects of muscle building and muscle toning but if they use the supplement for too long the body thinks it does not to produce anymore of its own creatine because it realizes that it is getting it from an outside source so it cuts the production of its own. If the body goes too long with that outside source it will start to depend on that for its only source. This is only a few cases at which this occurrence happens because like I said before everyone body is different and reacts different to the things we put in our body, so I would advise people to be careful of what you put in your body; and if you want to use supplements you should probably consult a doctor as to which ones are reliable, most effective and least damaging.
