DESCRIPTION
Creatine Monohydrate is the most extensively studied supplement to promote exercise performance and help maintain muscle mass during the natural aging process. Each scoop provides 5 g of micronized creatine in a convenient unflavored and unsweetened powder that rapidly dissolves in liquid. This Creatine Monohydrate supplement utilizes micronized technology allowing for improved absorption and digestibility and enhanced bioavailability to targeted muscle tissue. This formula is ideal for athletes, older individuals and aging populations, and vegans or vegetarians who do not consume adequate amounts of amino acid precursors or creatine‑rich foods.
Available: 450g Powder
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
- Promotes skeletal muscle health and strength
- May support exercise performance and recovery
- Supports healthy body composition and lean muscle mass
- May support brain and cognitive function
- Promotes healthy aging
OVERVIEW
Creatine is involved in muscular contraction with approximately 95% being stored in skeletal muscle, particularly type 2 fibers. Two‑thirds of intramuscular creatine is phosphocreatine (PCr) and the remaining one‑third is free creatine. Dietary creatine is found primarily in red meat and seafood. Individuals who consume creatine‑rich foods may have higher tissue creatine levels than those who do not, such as vegans and vegetarians. Human physiology has a limited capacity for producing creatine on its own, making it important to obtain adequate amounts from food or supplementation. Between 1% to 2% of creatine in the muscle is metabolized and excreted through the urine. Therefore, the body requires between 1 and 3 grams of creatine per day to maintain normal creatine stores, dependent on an individual’s muscle mass, and even more for muscle growth. PCr is used to generate cellular energy in skeletal muscles in the form of ATP, which is the fuel to contract muscles and perform other metabolic tasks. Creatine supplementation can promote the capacity of ATP production, which supports performance output.
INGREDIENT BENEFITS
Micronized creatine is a powdered form of creatine monohydrate that utilizes a micronizing technology that reduces the particle size by 20 times. This process increases the surface area of the creatine for improved absorption and digestibility and enhanced bioavailability to targeted muscle tissue. Micronized creatine rapidly dissolves in liquid, and, due to its increased water solubility and digestibility, micronized creatine does not contribute to common undesirable side effects often associated with large doses of creatine monohydrate intake.
