Premium Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate - 600g
Supplementing the diet with creatine, recommended for adults performing high intensity exercise. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal function of the immune system and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Creatine Overview:
Creatine belongs to the group of amino acids and is found mainly in muscle tissue (approx. 95%). It is available in the form of phosphocreatine and free creatine, the sum of which for an average-sized man is about 120 g. The energy supplied during and after intense exercise depends largely on the amount of phosphocreatine stored in the muscle. As phosphocreatine stores are depleted during intense exercise, energy availability decreases due to the inability to re-synthesis ATP at the rate required to sustain high-intensity exercise. As a result, the ability to maintain maximum effort decreases. The availability of phosphocreatine in the muscle can significantly affect the amount of energy produced during short periods of high-intensity exercise.
Further Information:
A scientific publication published in 2007 in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition reviewed research on creatine. According to the data provided in the article, several hundred scientific studies have been conducted to evaluate creatine monohydrate supplementation in improving exercise performance. Nearly 70% of these studies reported a significant improvement in exercise capacity with creatine supplementation, with average increases in performance typically ranging from 10 to 15%. It was also indicated that almost all studies show that supplementation with creatine monohydrate increases body weight by about 1-2 kg in the first week of loading. The authors report that this may be the result of an improved ability to perform high-intensity exercise through increased phosphocreatine availability and improved ATP synthesis, thereby enabling athletes to train harder and promote greater muscle growth.
