Creatine is formed from the amino acid arginine which is present in meat and fish, but not in sufficient quantities for sports enthusiasts. Creatine is stored in the muscle cells, where its task is to "load up" energy in the form of ATP. The muscles ATP is used up in physical activity. A deficit of creatine means that the energy molecules are reformed less rapidly. The muscles then tire out quickly and lactic acid is felt. The more energy is in your muscles, the stronger you become and the greater your stamina becomes. Scientific studies have proven that all sportsmen and sportswomen have increased strength and stamina, tolerate lactic acid and recover quicker as a result of taking creatine. Muscle mass is therefore boosted by taking creatine.
Creatine Monohydrate is a proven and safe performance enhancer used by various sportsmen and sportswomen such as ice-hockey players, football players, track and field athletes and bodybuilders.
Creatine Monohydrate can also be combined with other dietary supplements - Whey protein, for example, forms an excellent combination with Creatine Monohydrate.
Dosage: Days 1-5; 6g (1 and 1/2 teaspoons), 4 times daily. Spread the intake over the day.
Mix with 2-4 dl water, take Creatine Monohydrate on days when you are not training too.
From day 6 on: 6g (1 and 1/2 teaspoons), once daily. If it is a training day, take immediately after training.
Take Creatine Monohydrate for 4-10 weeks and then leave a gap of about 4 weeks.
