Product Information

Creatine is a substance that is found naturally in the bodies muscle cells. Its purpose is to help your muscles produce energy while heavy lifting or high-intensity training. Similar to amino acids, Your body can produce creatine from the amino acids glycine and arginine. Creatine is formed of three amino acids: L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. Around 95% of it is stored in skeletal muscle, and 5 percent is in the brain. When taking creatine supplements, your phosphocreatine stores increase. Your creatine levels are affected by a few different factors such as, your exercise levels, your meat intake, the amount of muscle mass you have and your hormones levels. Benefits of creatine: Creatine is probably the most scientifically studied bodybuilding supplement ever, with strong evidence demonstrating that it helps improve sports performance. In addition to this, there are countless anecdotal reports from users claiming that it has improved their strength, recovery and performance in workouts.

On Workout Days: Add 5g’s (1 level scoop) to a high-carbohydrate drink (e.g. fruit juice or Performance Recover) and consume within 30 minutes of completing your workout. In our opinion, you should take it immediately post workout, in a carb rich post-workout shake (if using creatine monohydrate), or else follow the manufacturer’s instructions if it’s a more advanced creatine blend like Gaspari SizeOn, BSN Cellmass etc. What’s the best creatine supplement? On Non-Workout Days, it is recommended to add 5g’s to a high-carbohydrate drink and consume first thing in the morning, upon waking.

Your muscles should also feel fuller, with the lifts you did the week before feeling slightly easier to complete. Most size and strength gains from creatine supplements come within the first month of use (Kreider; et al 1995). Reduce alcohol whilst on cycle!

However, some of this weight gain is from an increase in muscle tissue (not just water) due to the positive effects of creatine on growth. Studies have shown that creatine supplemented subjects significantly gained more lean body mass than non-creatine supplemented individuals, but total body water was no different from before and after the study (Kreider; et al 1995; 1996). You should notice the muscle size gains from creatine fairly rapidly, most of them occurring within the first month of use. What is creatine loading and should I do it? Creatine monohydrate is the form of creatine that is most commonly sold - it is virtually tasteless and dissolves quite well in water or other drinks. However, over recent years many new forms of creatine have hit the market such as creatine gluconate, creatine ethyl ester, creatine magnesium chelate, creatine gluconate, kre-alkalyn and more. A small amount of alcohol whilst using creatine is ok, as long as it is kept to weekends or limited in quantity. Alcohol is a mild diuretic at higher intakes, so it will counter some of the benefits of creatine supplementation as whilst the creatine is super-hydrating your muscle cells, the alcohol would be working to dehydrate them!

Creatine may act as a lactic acid buffer and improve exercise recovery time. Lactic acid is a bi-product from anaerobic (without oxygen) exercise like such as weight training or other explosive activities. Lactic acid is responsible for the 'burning' sensation when the muscle becomes fatigued. When you cannot train anymore, it is due to you either having run out of energy or a build up of lactic acid. Creatine may act as a buffer for this lactic acid, which helps to delay the onset of fatigue. This makes it extremely useful for bodybuilders, weight lifters, boxers, MMA fighters and other sports people engaged in sports that require explosive movement. This is very controversial subject as there are researchers like Greenhaff, et al (1993), who have demonstrated that’s beneficial to load, and others who have shown no benefit. In addition to this, loading has only been studied with basic creatine monohydrate. Several manufacturers now produce more advanced creatine blends like Warrior Cyclic, Warrior Creatine, or Pure Creatine Gluconate that require no loading.
