Description: Creatine Monohydrate Powder 100gPure and Potent Ingredients. Enhanced Muscle Mass/StrengthEnhanced Recovery After Exercise Increased Muscle Energy Availability(1 Bottle, 100g)Made In USA History of Creatine: Creatine was discovered in 1835 when a French scientist named Chevreul discovered a component of skeletal muscle that he later named creatine after the Greek word for flesh, or Kreas. Therefore, although creatine may seem like something new, the scientific community has recognized it as a natural constituent of muscle for nearly two centuries. Our first indication that muscle creatine content is necessary for muscular activity came with the observation that wild animals contain disproportionately more (about 10-times more) creatine than animals kept in captivity. Near the turn of the century the first studies examining the effects of creatine feeding were conducted. It was noticed that not all the creatine fed to subjects could be recovered in the urine, indicating that the body, i.e. skeletal muscle, was retaining some of the ingested creatine. In fact, skeletal muscle, as well as being the largest sink for dietary creatine, is also the richest natural source of the nutrient. Thus, whenever we take a bite of steak (skeletal muscle) creatine is made available to our muscles for absorption. It is now estimated that most of non-vegetarians receive approximately one gram of creatine each day in our diets. Health Benefits Of Creatine Powder:Increased fat-free massImproved maximal strength Improved muscular enduranceIncreased anaerobic power and performance Increased hydration in extreme outdoor conditions Creatine is produced naturally by amino acids in the body to supply energy during more intense periods of exertion. Almost all (95%) of the natural creatine in the body is found in skeletal muscles, such as the biceps, quads and abs. As creatine provides extra energy resources, it is favoured by athletes and those looking to build muscle as it allows the body to exercise for longer. When used as part of an exercise regime creatine allows the body to adapt to higher intensity workouts more quickly, delivering results in a shorter period of time. As the creatine naturally created by the body only lasts for a brief period of time, levels need to be topped up from other sources. Creatine can be found in red meat and fish but the most effective way to significantly increase creatine levels is by taking supplements. The most popular supplements come in the form of flavoured creatine powder which is mixed with water and drunk. Here’s some basic human physiology that will help you understand how creatine works as a fuel source: If you perform aerobic activity (like jogging), the main source of energy your body will use is glycogen. Glycogen comes from carbohydrates and is primarily stored in your muscles. When you perform anaerobic activity (like sprinting, jumping, weightlifting, or playing sports), your body gets its fuel from ATP and phosphocreatine. So the more creatine you have available, the more fuel you have in the tank to sustain intense ctivities. Studies show that“supplementation can increase phosphocreatine (PCr) and creatine (Cr) stores by 10–40%. The most common type of creatine is creatine monohydrate; it's also the most researched.. Creatine is also made in your body, primarily in the liver, from the precursor amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine at a rate of about 1-2 grams per day. Even though creatine is made of nitrogen-containing amino acids, it's not considered a protein. Unlike proteins, creatine synthesis doesn't involve formation of peptide bonds and its degradation doesn't involve deamination (removal of nitrogen) when excreted from the body by the kidney. Creatine is a nutrient that can offer myriad benefits to almost everyone, especially those of us who are interested in maintaining an effective metabolism as we age. Numerous studies show great possibilities for the use of creatine in muscle size and strength, longevity, brain integrity, neuromuscular function, heart health. Creatine monohydrate is a natural substance that turns into creatine phosphate in the body. Creatine phosphate helps make a substance called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides the energy for muscle contractions. The body is able to product some creatine by itself, and can also get creatine from some foods like red meat and oily fish. However, levels of creatine in food sources may be reduced during the process of cooking. Creatine monohydrate supplements are products that contain a very pure form of creatine and are often taken pre/post workout and/or with other supplements like whey protein. Creatine–manufactured within our bodies from three amino acids (methionine, glycine, and arginine)–is an important part of our cells’ energetic system. It combines with phosphates to form creatine phosphate (CP), which is responsible for replenishing energy-rich phosphates. These phosphates are used to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency that runs your cells’ machinery. The more CP in your muscle tissue, the more ATP can be made. It is this constant stream of energy that drives overall metabolism, including our ability to burn excess body fat. Creatine For Women: If you're like most women, you probably don't take creatine. Even though creatine is well-known for enhancing strength, increasing muscle mass, and improving exercise performance, women don't take it. For some reason, women think creatine is only for men, or that it won't help them get the body they want. In fact, according to a 2007 questionnaire, only 1% of female athletes used or considered supplementing with creatine. Women who use creatine regularly and workout find that they have more energy. So they can push their bodies harder and get the kind of astounding results they only dreamed of before. And the workouts won’t wear them out as much as they used to or result in muscle soreness and fatigue. With creatine supplementing their workout, they can recover faster and be ready for the next day’s workout without feeling stiff, sore or achy. Creatine totally transforms what you can do and how far you can push your body. These women believe that since creatine is marketed as a muscle-building supplement it's not something they need. Although the majority of research with creatine has been conducted in men, there are some solid lines of evidence that indicate women benefit from supplementation as well. Similar to men, women experience significant muscle creatine accumulation and performance enhancement in response to creatine monohydrate.Overall, these studies support several others that show the beneficial effects of creatine supplementation on strength and weight lifting performance in women. Now not everyone will need the same amounts of creatine in order to give them the same results. Creatine is resupplied to the body naturally by eating foods that are high in protein, such as fish and red meat. If you are on a vegan or vegetarian diet, you may need slightly more creatine, perhaps another gram or two each day. Those who eat lots of red meat and fish may not need as much and may be able to get by with as little as 3g a day of creatine. Creatine Monohydrate The anti-aging supplement: Creatine monohydrate is primarily known as an ergogenic aid used by power athletes and bodybuilders to increase strength and muscle mass. However, it has also been successfully used to treat a variety of health conditions and is continually finding new applications. Creatine supplementation has numerous physiological effects, which have the potential to substantially reduce morbidity and mortality. Creatine (methylguanidine-acetic acid) is formed in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from arginine, glycine and methionine and is transported through the bloodstream to various tissues. Plasma creatine is taken up into the cell by a creatine transporter protein, which is also used to transfer creatine across the blood-brain barrier. Once inside the cell, creatine is readily phosphorylated to produce phosphocreatine, which is the form that acts like a battery recharger for ATP. Creatine's most important role in human physiology is to contribute to maintenance of ATP levels. When ATP dissociates into ADP and phosphate to roduce energy for muscle contraction and other metabolic functions, sphocreatine donates its phosphate group to ADP to regenerate ATP. This is a reversible reaction, catalyzed by creatine kinase enzymes. At rest, when ATP levels are being replenished via oxidative phosphorylation, ATP will donate a phosphate group to creatine to regenerate phosphocreatine stores. There are a few caveats about its practical applications. Not everyone is aware of them, which is why I’ve decided to mention them. First, lower doses of creatine, less than 5 g in humans, will be more bio-available than higher doses such as 10 g and above. The reason for this is a thing called (over)saturation. Larger amounts of creatine saturate target sites, where creatine could usually exert its effects, faster. Thus rendering these sites less effective. Moreover, a high amount of creatine a short time period can slow down its absorption. It’s also interesting to note that areas where less creatine is usually found will benefit more from supplementing with it, as it accumulates there faster. Second, it’s important to continuously supplement with creatine, because only after continuous supplementation with creatine will its levels be raised substantially. Third, the way how we take creatine is important as well. Different dosage forms can influence how fast it gets absorbed. A solution, powder, or creatine found in capsule form all have different peak concentrations. For example, consuming creatine through meat increases your levels of plasma creatine, however, it requires further digestion through your digestive tract to become available as a useful source. Therefore, if it is in your interest to have it available immediately, taking it either in powdered form or as a solution is a better idea. About 95% of the body's creatine is found in the skeletal muscles, particularly type 2 fibers. Creatine is also found in other tissues, including the brain, heart, endothelial cells, macrophages, kidneys, liver, smooth muscles and testes. The body has a limited capacity for creatine synthesis and those individuals who consume creatine-rich foods have higher creatine tissue levels. Dietary creatine is most concentrated in herring, pork, beef, salmon and tuna. Consistent with this fact, vegetarians appear to have lower tissue creatine concentrations. Low phosphocreatine levels result in lower levels of ATP. Greater phosphocreatine levels translate into greater cellular energy production. With regard to skeletal muscle, phosphocreatine is involved primarily in the first ten seconds of very high intensity contraction.
