What is Creatine Monohydrate?
PureBulk’s Creatine Monohydrate is a synthesized form of creatine. It is one of the most studied supplements in sports nutrition. Naturally manufactured in the liver, kidneys and pancreas, creatine is used in the body for strength. It is found in muscle, heart and brain tissue and is a natural derivative of the amino acids arginine, methionine and glycine.
Creatine is a popular supplement for those working to increase sports performance. Creatine may also be derived from dietary sources, primarily from meat or fish, which contain approximately 4 to 5 grams of creatine per kilogram.
Creatine functions to increase the availability of ATP, adenosine triphosphate by donating a phosphate ion. When energy demand is high creatine monohydrate donates its phosphate to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to yield ATP, which drives muscle contraction and protein production. This reaction is reversible. The phosphate of ATP can be transferred back to creatine, generating creatine phosphate by the action of creatine phosphokinase. Phosphocreatine is then stored in the muscle for later energy use. When needed, phosphocreatine later binds with ADP to convert it back to ATP.
Creatine’s influence on ATP is crucial for all metabolic activities – especially for activity such as weightlifting, sprinting and jumping – short-term, high intensity activities that utilize fuel rapidly.
Health Benefits of Creatine Monohydrate
Studies have shown that Creatine Monohydrate, when combined with proper diet, exercise and adequate hydration supports healthy lean muscle mass and strength. Creatine may also help athletes recover more quickly from workouts, allowing them to train more frequently.Purity and Concentration of Creatine Monohydrate
PureBulk’s Creatine Monohydrate capsules contains no fillers, taste additives or anti-caking agents. The gelatin capsules are from a bovine source; the vegetarian capsules are made of cellulose.Suggested Use of Creatine Monohydrate
The suggested serving size for Creatine Monohydrate is four 600mg capsules daily, depending on individual needs.
For best results, take creatine one hour before training or working out and again after a workout session. Drink plenty of water.
PureBulk does not use automated machinery or fillers during the production of capsule products. Because the density of dietary material may vary from batch to batch, the milligram amount contained in capsules also fluctuates. Any variation will be noted on the supplement facts label.
Potential Side Effects of Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine can have adverse effects when used in excess. Side effects can include weight gain, anxiety, breathing difficulty, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, headache, kidney problems, nausea, vomiting, rash and stomach upset.
Certain drugs, including diabetes medications, acetaminophen, and
diuretics, can have dangerous interactions with creatine. Taking
stimulants like caffeine can increase the risk of side effects.
Creatine isn’t recommended for people with kidney or liver disease, or
diabetes. Others who should avoid taking it are children under age 18
and women who are pregnant or nursing. Don’t use creatine if taking any
medication or supplement that could affect blood sugar. Drink enough
water to prevent dehydration. Let your doctor know before you take
creatine or any other supplement.
Bioavailability, Mixing and solubility of Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate absorption is improved significantly when taken with something that increases insulin levels. To improve absorption take creatine with any beverage high in dextrose, like grape juice. Consuming creatine together with a meal provides the same effect due to the heightened insulin production.
Do not use caffeine while taking creatine.
