IMPROVE GLUCOSE METABOLISM~ By increasing GLUT 4 expression during exercise which brings more glucose into the muscle cells and stimulates insulin secretion from beta cells of the pancreas, thus, regulating glucose levels in the blood.
INCREASE MUSCLE MASS~ Through acting as an anabolic stimulus for muscle protein synthesis via the mTOR pathway, altering myokines (myostatin and IGF-1), enhanced cell proliferation and growth, especially type ll muscle fibers, thus, increasing muscle formation.
INCREASE ENERGY LEVELS~ Through phosphocreatine accumulation which acts as a battery to regenerate levels of ATP, the energy currency of cells, with the help of creatine kinase enzyme.
IMPROVE COGNITIVE FUNCTION~ By affecting GABA-A receptors which stimulate the CNS increasing cerebral creatine concentration to provide energy to the brain and spinal cord and enhancing creatine levels in pyramidal cells, improving memory and learning.
BOOST MUSCLE RECOVERY~ Through enhancing myofibrillar protein synthesis and increase in satellite cell number and myonuclei concentration, thus, triggering muscle regeneration. Enhanced calcium buffering capacity prevents additional damage to muscle fibers.
ENHANCE AEROBIC & ANAEROBIC PERFORMANCE~ By increasing ATP resynthesis in muscle cells and increase in type I muscle fibers which delays fatigue in aerobic activities and lowers accumulation of plasma ammonia and increase in type ll fibers during anaerobic or endurance activities which enhance performance.
INCREASE POWER AND STRENGTH~ Through creatine acts as an acceptor of mitochondria ATP which increases muscle mass and hence strength and increases the rate of oxygen consumption which results in greater power output by the muscle cells.
BOOST ANABOLIC HORMONES~ Such as testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) through an acute effect of resistance exercise enhanced by creatine and conversion of testosterone to DHT, a more potent anabolic androgen.PERPETUAL PUMP~ By increasing waterÂ
As a dietary supplement, for the first 3 days (loading phase): Mix 1 scoop with 8 oz. of water and consume 4 times daily. After day 3 (maintenance phase): Mix 1 scoop with 8 oz. of water 1 to 2 times daily. For more impressive results, replace water with a carbohydrate beverage or sports drink.
