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...
