Directions for Use

Recommended use: Mix 5 grams of Creatine with water or juice along with your post-workout/pre-workout meal. Continue the use of Creatine on non-training days as well to maintain muscle saturation. Creatine levels will decline and return to normal after 30 days. Loading & cycling: If you're an athlete who is interested in loading Creatine to increase Phosphate levels quickly, use 20 grams (4 servings) a day for the first 4-5 days. Discontinue use after 4 weeks, and repeat after at least 4 weeks of discontinued use. Creatine effectiveness plateaus after 4-5 weeks of continuous use. Creatine is most effective when taken with a high carbohydrate meal/drink.

Formulation Notes

Benefits of Creatine supplementation May improve muscle mass by stimulating satellite cells (satellite cells are "blank" cells that aid in tissue regeneration). Improve strength by elevating Creatine Phosphate levels. The elevation of Creatine Phosphate leads to an increase in the formation of ATP. ATP is the form of energy that your body can use. It is also formed by Carbohydrates and Fat, however it is most quickly produced using Creatine Phosphate. Reduce fatigue and promote exercise recovery by reducing muscle glycogen depletion. The higher the availability of Creatine in the body, the less muscle glycogen is necessary during intense strength training exercises. Improve muscle volume: increased intramuscular Creatine stores draw water to properly hydrate muscle and improve muscle volume.

No artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners

Creatine supplementation may also support lean mass and functional strength in the elderly.

Loading & cycling: If you're an athlete who is interested in loading Creatine to increase Phosphate levels quickly, use 20 grams (4 servings) a day for the first 4-5 days. Discontinue use after 4 weeks, and repeat after at least 4 weeks of discontinued use. Creatine effectiveness plateaus after 4-5 weeks of continuous use. Creatine is most effective when taken with a high carbohydrate meal/drink.

Additional Information

Store in a cool dry place.

Naturally occurring organic acid for promoting a reduction in muscle fatigue Backed by research to support ATP formation for improvements in strength and power. May improve muscle hydration and temperature regulation. Support lean muscle mass and short duration performance.
