Creatine Monohydrate 100% Pure Powder: Creatine is a naturally occurring compound in muscle tissue and functions as an energy reservoir to maintain optimal levels of ATP production during intense exercise. Creatine may be especially useful for those doing short-term, intense (anaerobic)exercise, such as weight lifting, football, basketball, swimming, skiing, and cycling. Our Creatine contains no yeast, wheat, corn, soy, milk, additives, or preservatives. Pharmaceutical grade.

Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement, mix 1 heaping teaspoon in fruit juice or other sweetened liquid 4 to 6 times daily, before and after exercise, for the first 7 days. Thereafter, for maintenance use, consume 1 to 3 times daily. Allow 3 to 4 hours between doses.

What can creatine do for you?

Creatine is fuel for your muscles. Without enough creatine, your muscles slow down and stop working. But if you have enough creatine your muscles can keep going for longer periods of time and with greater strength than you ever dreamed possible.

Creatine is a compound composed of three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. It is an essential ingredient in the process that provides muscle cells with the energy they need to perform their primary job-contraction. Scientific studies conducted at Sweden's Karolinska Institute and at the University of Nottingham Medical School in England have demonstrated that people who take creatine supplements benefit in the following ways:

Bigger, stronger muscles. Creatine allows your muscles to lift greater weights more frequently without quitting from fatigue. Because you can perform more work, muscle growth is stimulated. (Earnest C, Snell P, Rodriguez R, Almada A, Mitchell T. The effect of creatine monohydrate ingestion on anaerobic power indices, muscular strength and body composition. Acta Physiol Scand. 1995;153:207-09)

Greater work and power output. Your muscles can work harder. This means that athletes like sprinters and cyclists who take creatine supplements are able to run or cycle faster for longer periods of time. The results of one study in which cyclists' performance was measured during ten 6-second bouts of high-intensity cycling showed creatine significantly increased the work output compared to placebo.(Balsom P, S^derlund K, Ekblom B. Creatine supplementation and dynamic high-intensity intermittent exercise. Scand J Med Sci Sports. 1993;3:143-149) & (Birch R, Noble D, Greenhaff P. The influence of dietary creatine supplementation on performance during repeated bouts of maximal isokinetic cycling in man. Eur J Appl Physiol. 1994;69:268-270)

Reduced lactic acid concentrations. Lactic acid, a byproduct which forms in muscles during exercise, is one of the leading causes of muscle fatigue. In athletes who take creatine, muscle lactic acid has been found to drop by 41% (Balsom P, S^derlund K, Sjodin B, Ekblom B. Skeletal muscle metabolism during short duration high-intensity exercise: influence of creatine supplementation. Acta Physiol Scand. 1995;154:303-310)

Increased peak torque. Your muscles stay stronger longer, allowing you to generate greater force. (Greenhaff P, Bodin K, Harris R, et al. The influence of oral creatine supplementation on muscle phosphocreatine biosynthesis following intense contraction in man. J Physiol. 1993;46:75P)
