If you’re serious about your body and its performance, supplementation with creatine monohydrate may be the final piece you need to take your program to the next level.

Any athlete understands the benefits of increased strength, speed, and endurance, and how these qualities can affect your ability to reach your goals.

HOW TO USE IT

Mix 1-½ teaspoons with juice or water. Load with 4 svgs./day for five days when first using the product – spread svgs. out over the course of the day. After loading, maintain with 1-2 svgs daily. Use 1 serving within an hour after a workout

WHAT IS CREATINE?

Creatine is a compound naturally made in our bodies to aid in replenishing muscle energy. The liver, pancreas, and kidneys can all manufacture creatine by combining the amino acids arginine, methionine, and glycine. On average, your body can create 2 g of creatine/day. The richest food source of creatine is animal muscle. As an example, a pound of beef contains roughly 2 g of creatine. Supplemental creatine is not taken from any of these sources – the creatine used in products such as Phosphagen™ is manufactured in a lab synthetically, and has the same actions in the body as that derived from natural sources.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: What is the advantage of taking creatine in a powder versus a capsule or tablet form?
A: Powder can be absorbed by the bloodstream more efficiently than a pill, which has a coating that must be digested first. Also, creatine is taken in gram amounts—which means, you'd need to take 20 1-gram capsules or 40 tablets per day to load. Needless to say, powder is much more efficient.

Q: I have heard conflicting information about cycling creatine. Should I or shouldn't I?
A: Some studies support creatine cycling and others do not. There are a couple of different "cycling" strategies you can try:
1. Stay on creatine all the time, but reload once every six weeks;
2. Load for a week, stay in your maintenance phase for six weeks, then stop taking creatine completely for a couple of weeks.

Q: I mix creatine with my workout drink in the morning, but sometimes I don't actually finish it until several hours later. Is creatine stable in solution this long?
A: Creatine monohydrate, when dissolved, is not totally stable in solution, so it's definitely not a good idea to keep it mixed with liquid for days, but there shouldn't be a problem mixing it six to eight hours before it's consumed. Any longer than that and you may be pushing it.
