Creatine, the Next Ergogenic Supplement?

Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine Monohydrate is possibly the most exciting natural supplement available to date . Creatine has come to the forefront as a popular ergogenic aid to bodybuilders and sports athletes in recent years .

Powerbeck Creatine Pure White is a readily absorbable pharmaceutical grade Creatine . ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a chemical found at molecular level in nature which all living things need in order to grow . During heavy workouts , ATP levels in muscle cells are rapidly depleted .

Creatine replenishes ATP supplies directly in the cell reservoir , maintaining the right conditions for muscular growth .

Creatine Monohydrate can increase muscle volume , lean weight and strength in high intensity sports .

Sports people of all ages , size and bodyweight have experienced these benefits proving that this supplement delivers real results .

Latest research suggests that the majority of athletes are not implementing this supplement effectively .The majority are simply mixing their creatine with fruit juice , which is predominantly made up of fructose , and in large quantities you run the risk of conversion to bodyfat .

Dr Paul Greenhaff* conducted a creatine study in1995 and discovered that a very large amount of dextrose ( high-glycemic carbohydrate) created a large enough insulin spike to help shuttle creatine more efficiently into the muscle cells .This study indicated an amount of dextrose in the region of 75g .With this new method of implementation it is suggested to increase your creatine dose to 10g as more nutrients can be forced into the muscle cell ."

Armed with this research , we would suggest the use of Powerbeck Turbo Energy drink which contains 100g of dextrose per serving to be consumed with 10g creatine with 15 minutes of finishing your workout , available from our online store.
