Comment on Does Creatine Monohydrate Improve Anaerobic Performance? by Dangers of Creatine

Very interesting article. You mostly hear about creatine use as far as weight training so this is a fairly new perspective. In theory you should gain an energy boost but the increase of bulk (water mass) could negate the effects in anaerobic activities.

[...] It’s been a little while since my last post on this blog. I thought that I would blow the dust off this blog and start writing posts again. When it comes to dietary supplements, there’s no question that their use is popular among athletes. Both Olympic and professional athletes seem to share an esurient desire to find a competitive edge in their respective sports. For some, they make the unfortunate and dangerous decisions to cheat by using illegal, performance-enhancing, drugs which can have deadly consequences. yet others, opt for safer alternatives with common choices including energy drinks/bars, protein powders, and creatine monohydrate.

Hi Jarret,

Comment on Does ZMA actually work? by Tradd

Tradd — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:45:34 +0000

I was just searching for ZMA and diabetes when i came across this article. I am a diabetic bodybuilder and have tried ZMA in the past and just started on it again recently. Having my blood sugars under complete control, mainly because of lifting, there are very few outside things that will make my sugars spike to very high levels. If I get very sick (flu, etc.) they will stay high or if my hormones swing to high levels due to stress, they’ll peak as well. If I’m prescribed Prednesone, my blood sugar will hit about 400 and stay there until the drug wears off. When taking ZMA before bed, I wake up feeling very rested, but my blood sugar is in the 350 range (about 3 times normal). This spike is short-lived and doesn’t linger all day like a steroid, but happens when I take the full dose (4 capsules for the Dymatize product). This leads me to believe that ZMA is causing a testosterone spike during the night. I have since remedied that by taking 3/4 to 1/2 doses, enjoying the restful sleep and extremely vivid dreams, and not having to worry about the large spikes in blood sugar readings. I also feel like I have more power and endurance at the gym when taking ZMA.

I apologize for the long post, but could this symptom help explain what ZMA is doing?
