Our oldest boy and all of his friends have decided to jump on board with body building. We are so happy and proud to see the young teens taking on a hobby that is good for their health. With all the video games and cell phones around it’s refreshing to see the kids get excited about fitness and become proud of all the hard work they put into their bodies. Being 16 they are now able to join the premium gyms like Worlds Gym in West Kelowna and take advantage of the unlimited monthly membership with all the high quality equipment and informative trainers.
Our boy has gained some substantial muscle and weight with high quality, natural supplements and a high calorie diet. He is now ripped and his body has next to no fat on it. He is gaining huge strides with his lifts and maintaining a very healthy lower body regimen as well. He is always so happy to get a chance to review any type of fitness product or nutritional supplement to see if it is something he and his friends can use on a regular basis.
Naked Strawberry Creatine is the latest product we have gotten to try and it is very impressive. Creatine is a chemical found naturally in the body. It's also in red meat and seafood. It is often used to improve exercise performance and muscle mass. While raising a body builder was never on my mind as a parent we are now deep in the process and have learned how crazy expensive it is to encourage high protein diet and calorie intake. We have created some great high protein snacks that don’t cost a fortune. With the cost of food right now we have been trying to find ways to increase protein and calories while remaining frugal. The best options right now have been foods like: - Tuna
- Wild game (hunting season is in full swing)
- Ground beef
- Salmon (a bit pricey, try fishing when we can)
- Sourdough bread
- Oats
- Greek Yogurt
- Protein shakes
- Chicken
We are always looking for low cost, high protein options now and it is definitely harder with a picky teen that requires a certain calorie intake each day. Just don’t make the mistake of letting the kids drink protein shakes constantly instead of eating regular meals as it wreaks havoc on their poor bodies when they aren’t digesting properly. Our son got sick for a short while when he was drinking too many protein shakes, his stomach was constantly aching, he was dry heaving constantly, and he was unable to eat full meals properly. We took him off the shakes and started maintaining a healthy diet again and his body is much happier.
I try to learn as much as information as I can about each individual product so I can help my son choose products that will be right for him. I also don’t want to write about anything I don’t clearly understand as I can’t honestly give a review if I don't know what the product is or how it works. So I did some research about Creatine and what it does for the body so we can all understand. As mentioned earlier, creatine supplements are widely used by athletes, and the use of creatine has been shown to benefit those engaged in high-intensity, short-duration exercise.
Benefits of creatine for athletes may include:
- Increased skeletal muscle mass
- Increased muscle contraction speed
- Increased strength
- Improved muscle recovery
- Enhanced fatigue resistance
However, the extent of the beneficial effect offered by creatine supplementation depends on how much is consumed in the normal diet and the athlete’s chosen sport.
Creatine provides the necessary energy to support an increased rate of muscle protein synthesis. And, consequently, there’s an interactive effect between EAA availability and the amount of creatine in muscles.
In other words, while creatine supplementation alone can’t produce new muscle protein, the presence of extra creatine can enhance the stimulatory effect of supplemental EAAs by providing the additional energy needed for the production of new protein.
So simply if you are looking to build muscle or strengthen a portion of your body quickly, Creatine supplements may be perfect for you. Creatine helps to increase muscle mass and strength by increasing energy to the part of your body that is being worked on! After doing my research it seems like it may be one of the best supplements to take when you’re looking for results quickly. My son has been drinking it each day before the gym and he is most definitely seeing results.
Naked Creatine is the highest grade, fastest dissolving, and rapidly absorbed creatine monohydrate available. Studies have shown that creatine monohydrate supplementation enhances gains in maximal strength, repetitions under sub-maximal load, delays the onset of fatigue, and increases the body’s overall training capacity.* The strawberry flavour of this supplement is subtle and natural and it mixes perfect with a tall glass of water. Naked Nutrition has supplements for everyone whether you are trying to gain muscle, lose weight, get healthier, or just stay fit. Take a look at everything they have to offer and begin your journey to a long healthy life!
