Creatine is one of the most popular sports supplements on the market and is used by bodybuilders, athletes, sportsmen and women alike. Creatine is an amino acid made naturally in our bodies that acts as an energy replenisher.

Creatine replenishes ATP (Adenosine 5'-triphosphate), an energy storage molecule used by cells to power tissue functions such as muscle contraction. When used up, ATP needs to be replenished by re-acquiring phosphates. Creatine is utilised as a phosphate transporter (creatine phosphate (CP)) enhancing the production of ATP. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the more creatine that is present in muscle cells, up to a maximum storage level, the more efficiently ATP can be replenished – more ATP means more readily available energy.

It has been found that muscles can store far more CP than is possible to obtain from food, so supplementing with creatine monohydrate helps maximise CP stores providing more energy to help lift heavier weights, train harder and at higher intensity.
It has been demonstrated that creatine may also support muscle growth by stimulating protein synthesis, firstly, by increased training ability as a result of creatines energy replenishing actions. Secondly, increased CP storage enhances muscle tissue hydration, making muscles fuller and stronger - 'volumised'. A volumised muscle helps to trigger protein synthesis, minimise protein breakdown and increase glycogen synthesis.

Creatine may also act as a lactic acid buffer and improve exercise recovery time. Lactic acid is responsible for the 'burning' sensation when a muscle becomes fatigued. Creatine may act as a buffer for lactic acid, which helps to delay the onset of fatigue.

Whilst much of the weight gain from creatine use is from the cell volumising effect which is not permanent, the increased training ability and protein synthesis also results in significant gains in muscle mass. Size and strength gains from creatine can only be realised when creatine use is combined with exercise. Most gains are seen during the first month of use and these benefits are also significantly enhanced by mixing the creatine with a carbohydrate based drink and the concomitant use of the anti-oxidant alpha lipoic acid.

Usage:

Nutritional support for:

• Enhanced energy for short intense exercise
• Improved muscle hydration and strength
• Enhanced muscle growth
• Reduced lactic acid build-up
• Reduced muscle fatigue and improved recovery time

Dosage:

Loading phase: 5 grams (1 teaspoon) 4-6 times daily depending on body weight for 5-7 days then reduce to maintenance dosage.
Maintenance phase: 5 grams (1 teaspoon) daily.
Benefits may be enhanced by taking creatine with a carbohydrate based drink and in eight week cycles, separated by a four week break.
