What Is Creatine? & how can it benefit you..
Creatine is the number one supplement for improving performance in the gym.It is the single most studied and tested ingredient / supplement which showsincrease muscle mass (gain muscle), strength and improved exerciseperformance.
Creatine is found naturally in muscle cells. It helps your muscles produceenergy during lifting or exercise. About 95% of your body's natural creatine isstored in muscles in the form of phosphocreatine. The other 5% is found in yourbrain, kidney's and liver.
When supplementing with creatine, you increase your stores ofphosphocreatine. This is a form of stored energy in the cells, as it helps yourbody produce more of a high-energy molecule called ATP.
ATP is often called the body's energy currency. When you have more ATP, yourbody can perform better during exercise (It helps your muscles produce energyduring lifting or exercise).
Creatine also alters several cellular processes that lead to increased musclemass, strength and recovery.
Creatine also helps you gain muscle in thefollowing ways:
BOOSTED WORKLOAD:
enables more total work or volume in a single training session, which is a keyfactor in long term muscle growth.
INCREASED CELL HYDRATION:
lifts water content within your muscle cells, which causes a cell columizationeffect that plays a role in muscle growth
- Your body produces ATP naturally (source of energy in muscle cells)
- Working out uses up your ATP stores
- Depleted ATP produces ADP as it's bi-product
- Supplementing with CREATINE converts ADP back into ATP
- Increases muscle energy & recovery (performance)
DOSAGE
how much to take & when, and any side effects?
We recommend on the tub 5g MEN and 2.5g WOMEN. We don't recommend a loadingor de-load phase. The best thing is, to be CONSISTENT daily!
You can have your daily dose anytime. This is a personal preference and whereit can slot in consistently in one's routine. In your LEGACY / THREE-Dpre-workout before your workout, after your workout with your MN PROTEIN or in asmoothie or a daily shake. The way CREATINE works where the timing isn't sorelevant, its the consistency which trumps.
For example, a simple way to explain creatine usage…
Imagine creatine is like filling up your tank with petrol in your car.Creatine (petrol), the car (you). As you are consistent with your daily dose ofcreatine, that dose you are having (irrelevant to timing) is your tank beingtopped up. Your body will always be utilizing creatine (workout, exercise,recovery), and it will be using the stores in your tank. That is why, your dailydose of creatine, helps keep the tank topped up so there is no risk of dryingout, going empty.
Creatine isn't a magic pill, it simply helps each session with volume, muscleenergy, ATP and performance. Over time, like with any type of volume work in agym, increased volume over time = results.
Creatine should be a year round staple with your supplement routine, as it isperformance, recovery and muscle gain relevant.
SIDE EFFECTS?
Some might say, “Creatine makes you hold water, or makes me bloated, orgives me a sore stomach”.
MN Creatine is 100% Pure Micronised. Sometimes creatine's are VERY grainy.This grainy side to a creatine is what might upset your stomach (sometimes –and it's very individual – as the grainy feel to it sits in your stomach toolong – slower absorption / bioavailability).
Our MN creatine is high quality, 100% micronised which means the powder isvery fine / thin (no grainy feel to it). Being ultra micronised and not grainymeans maximum bioavailability and absorption. Our creatine is 100% PureMicronised and Pharmaceutical grade (zero fillers & non-gmo).
The timing of your creatine could also play a role on how you feel in yourstomach. That is why, choosing to take your creatine with your pre-workout orpost-workout with your protein allows you to pick which suits, and feelsthe best.
DO I NEED TO LOAD MY CREATINE?
No, simply stay consistent with your daily dose (on and off training days).
HOW OFTEN DO I TAKE CREATINE?
To be taken daily, on and off training days.
STACK SAFE?
Yes, with your pre, or protein.
FLAVOUR?
MN Creatine is unflavoured and can be mixed with anything.
