Creatine Basics
The nitrogenous molecule/amino acid Creatine is produced naturally in both humans and animals where it plays an integral roll in the supply of energy to muscles throughout the body. Creatine is converted to Phosphocreatine in muscle tissue where it, in turn converts ADP to ATP to replace the ATP consumed during exercise. The more Creatine and Phosphocreatine present in muscle tissue the longer the muscle can continue to perform before fatigue sets in.
Based on existing research, NutraSense believes that Creatine supplementation has broad application as a drug-free, dietary supplement for both the young and the not-so-young. Specifically, it can be used to prolong peak performance in athletes, to enhance strength and conditioning during training, to aid in the recovery from injury by helping to rebuild muscle weakened from extended periods of inactivity, and to reduce fatigue in older, active individuals.
Dosage
A person's ability to store creatine can be compared to the gas tank of your car. Once your creatine tank is full, it will not hold any more, no matter how much more you consume. The key to proper creatine usage is to find maximum benefit from the lowest dosage.
Currently there are no specific dosage amounts, although there are some common theories. One of the most popular is the loading phase, which consists of taking approximately five grams 3 or 4 times a day for a period of five days. This is followed by a maintenance phase, which consists of 2-5 grams per day thereafter. Another theory suggests that the loading phase is unnecessary and wasteful. An individual supplementing with only the maintenance phase (2-5 grams/day) will have the same muscle saturation in 2-3 weeks as the individual who loads. Creatine absorption is quickened when taken with a substance that increases insulin levels, like dextrose. This increased absorption can be achieved by taking CREATEAM Chewables or powdered creatine with grape juice or any other beverage high in dextrose. Ingesting creatine with a meal will also provide the same effect due to the increased insulin production. Some studies have also shown that exercised muscle will absorb about 12% more creatine than a non-exercised muscle. It follows that taking creatine directly after a workout maybe more helpful, although not necessary to achieve benefits.
Creatine's Role in Muscle Tissue
As Creatine Phosphate and ATP diminish rapidly during intensive exercise, ADP can no longer be converted to ATP. Lactic acid then begins to build up, and the muscle starts to fatigue. The direct result is a drop off in performance as muscle increasingly lacks the ability to respond. Extensive studies have shown that Creatine loading via supplemental feeding can offer the potential for the following:
