Description
Creatine Monohydrate is a metabolite that
functions as a precursor to creatine phosphate (it
provides a binding site for free phosphate). Once
converted to creatine phosphate it provides a 'high
energy' phosphate molecule for ATP production. ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate) is the chemical in our bodies
that fuels all muscular contractions. This chain of
events is known as the Krebs Cycle. Creatine's role,
coupled with strength training, influences muscular
contraction, cell hydration, strength, and ultimately,
long term muscular growth.
Creatine
is quickly becoming one of the most widely studied
ergogenic aids in sports nutrition, leading to a better
understanding of what mechanism, or mechanisms, it acts
upon.

monohydrate provides a saturation effect in skeletal
muscle. This muscle cell creatine saturation
effect occurs after 5 days of 'loading' (5 grams 4 times
per day) with creatine monohydrate. Once the muscle cell
is saturated with creatine it is easily maintained at
this level with just two 5 gram doses per day.
Muscles typically are comprised of
about 70% water. The 'hyper-hydration' aspect of
creatine may allow the muscle cell to hold 73% to 75%
water effectively, making the muscle bigger in a rather
short period of time. (Some individuals have reported 10
to 15 pound weight increases in as little as two weeks.)
Increasing muscle cell hydration
leads to benefits in leverage for increased strength and
possible reduction in lifting injuries. It is also
believed that increasing muscle cell hydration may lead
to greater protein accrual - solid lean muscle gains.
AST Sports Science uses only the
purest, HPLC tested and laboratory certified,
pharmaceutical grade creatine monohydrate money can buy.
Our creatine is manufactured specifically for us, and to
our rigid standards so you are guaranteed the finest,
most effective creatine monohydrate available.
New Micronized Creatine Monohydrate is a faster acting, better absorbing creatine to help
you build muscle quicker without the stomach upset and
without gritty creatine left at the bottom of the glass.
May Be Helpful For

. You will be able to lift heavier weights for
more reps
. Allows you to train at maximum
muscular output for longer periods of time
.
Increase in muscular overload, leads to faster and
greater lean muscle gains
. Has a swelling
effect on the muscle making it bigger and fuller
