Ast Sports Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate, Micronized (525 g (18.52 oz))

Creatine Monohydrate delivers more creatine to your muscles faster. It helps you build muscle without putting any pressure of your digestive system. Creatine Monohydrate incorporates state-of-the-art particle micronizing technology (PMTTM). This technology sets a new standard for creatine monohydrate supplementation by actually producing creatine 'micro-particles' that are 20 times smaller than regular creatine powder. Hence, it gets into the bloodstream quickly and efficiently, delivering more muscles.

Benefits:

• Increase Muscle Cell Volume
• Increase Muscle Energy
• Increase Muscle Strength
• Increase Muscle Torque
• Increase Muscle Endurance
• Enhances Recovery
  

Creatine increases cell volume by increasing the fluid holding capacity of the muscle cell. This increases muscle weight, size and strength as well as long-term muscle buildup. With Micronized Creatine, you will see an increase in strength and size in a rather short period. Some have reported as much as 10 pounds in 2 weeks. This is exceptional but certainly possible.

Recent study improved the time of intense running to exhaustion by 13%. This study concluded,
"...that creatine supplementation helps to prolong the time during which the maximal rate of power output could be maintained".

Creatine helps with resistance training by loading the muscle with creatine rich fluid. This allows for greater leverage and requires the muscle to move less and lift more weight. The swelling action and the related stretching of the cells may cause a reaction which stimulates the muscle cells to grow. You may experience quicker recovery, increased energy and endurance, while giving the muscle crucial nutrients to increase overall performance.

Advantages:

• Faster Absorption: smaller particle size means quicker digestion and faster utilization
• More Efficient: 20 times more total surface area for greater uptake into the bloodstream
• No Stomach Upset: Micronized Creatine goes into solution better and leaves the gut quicker causing no stomach upset
• Better Results: Micronized Creatine offers 2000% more particle surface area for better utilization, better uptake, and faster results
• Greater Purity: Micronizing creatine produces a more pure creatine. By increasing the total processing steps and purification procedures, AST's Micronized Creatine yields a finished product substantially more pure

Ingredient Details:Pure HPLC tested and laboratory certified Micronized creatine monohydrate - 5 grams
