Improving performance during exercise of high to maximal
intensity.
Studies have shown that athletes who exercise and supplement their diet with creatine will increase the total creatine levels within the muscle, which can correlate with higher levels of creatine phosphate and greater energy storage in muscle. Creatine phosphate is the energized form of creatine and functions as an energy storage reserve. Creatine by ASN will not only assist you in exercising longer but will also help in quicker restoration of energy and strength after program sets.
It is a proven fact that from taking creatine you can get bigger, stronger muscles, faster. Theses studies reveal that creatine users consistently experience greater gains and improvements over the people who were not taking creatine.
Here is some information on why creatine works.
Improving muscle bioenergetics is one of the main ways creatine works. One thing that occurs in your muscles from strength sport and resistance training is that you stimulate your type II muscle fibers to grow. The type II muscle fibers are the ones that can get big and strong, and are also called fast-twitch muscle fibers because they can contract very fast to generate tremendous power, when compared to slow-twitch muscle fibers.
For example, a 100 meter sprinter has big muscles to blast off of the starting line and run as fast as possible for a short distance. This takes big strong, well conditioned fast-twitch
muscles. Compare this to the marathon runner, who is faster then most people, but runs half as fast as the sprinter, but can do it for much longer. This is because marathon runners have well
conditioned their type I, slow-twitch muscle fibers, with very little type II muscle fiber development.
Type I muscle fibers contract slower when compared to Type II muscle fibers, they also have the ability to keep contracting for longer periods of time, at this lower level of intensity. American sports nutrition creatine powder is excellent for everyone and research suggests that creatine supplementation during athletic training and competition may actually help reduce athletic injuries and adverse effects of athletic training.
Ingredient Details:100% Pharmaceutical grade of Creatine Monohydrate, no sugar, starch, salt, preservative or lactose added.
Expert Advice:100% pure creatine- no additives.
Suggested Use:1 to 2 level teaspoons shortly before exercise, and 1 level teaspoon afterwards, mixed into 8oz water or juice as desired. When beginning creatine supplementation, taking 2 level teaspoons 4-6 times daily for 5 days may optimize results. After day 5 take 2-3 times/day.
Cautions:American Sports Nutrition recommends consultation with your health care practitioner or certified trainer before starting any exercise or nutritional supplement program.
