Allmax Nutrition : 100% Micronized Creatine Creatine

Creatine is a nitrogenous compound that is found naturally within the body and supplies all cells in the body, including muscle cells. Creatine bonds to a phosphate molecule to produce phosphocreatine, recycling Adenoside TriPhosphate or ATP. This also donates a phosphate molecule to ADP to create ATP, the primary source of energy for muscle contractions. The ATP energy system is associated with explosive and rapid short bouts of muscle contractions, so saturating your muscles with creatine will ensure you are able to perform at the best of your ability at the gym.

Creatine is probably the most researched ergogenic aid out there and highly popular among athletes. Supplementing with this ingredient has consistently shown that creatine increases intramuscular creatine concentrations resulting in dramatic improvements in short bouts of intense exercise performance. As well as being beneficial to explosive intense exercise, creatine has also been shown to enhance post-exercise recovery, injury prevention and thermoregulation. Therefore, as well as being a potent ergogenic aid, creatine can be viewed as a supplement that helps with preventing and reducing the severity of an injury, a key aid in rehabilitation from injuries and to help athletes engaging in heavy training loads. AllMax 100% Creatine Monohydrate provides 5g of unflavoured creatine based on research suggesting 3-5g of creatine a day is sufficient to provide a beneficial effect. Due to the creatine being unflavoured, this allows the user to mix this with any liquid or powder of their choosing. A few recommendations include mixing it with Allmax Nutrition’s Aminocore before a workout or with Allmax Nutrition’s Isoflex after a workout. Benefits outside of the gym-

Research on creatine has also found it to play a beneficial role in neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, aging, brain and heart ischemia, osteoarthritis and adolescent depression. This ingredients effects and benefits are increasing every-day, so it’s a supplement that’s worth considering taking over the long-term and not just for its benefits for the gym- cycling the product occasionally so its effects aren’t diminished.
