 Magnesium-creatine supplementation effects on body water. - Bodybuilding.com Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Pre-post measures were completed with bioimpedance to determine total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECF), and intracellular water (ICF), and an isokinetic device at 180 degrees per second for knee extension peak torque (T), total work (W), and power (PWR).
The peak torque changes were significant only in the MgC-Cre group, which had increases in ICW that may infer more muscular creatine due to its osmotic effect, and with increased cellular hydration, perhaps increased protein synthesis.
Magnesium is neccessary for the sodium/potassium pump which controls intracellular potassium concentrations and thus water.
