- Creatine Monohydrate, or methyl
guanidine acetic-acid, has been the focus of sport nutrition research over the past
fifteen years. In healthy individuals, the body's creatine pool is approximately 120
grams, 95% of which is found in skeletal muscle. Chemically, phosphocreatine has been
proposed as one of the most likely limitations to muscle performance during intense,
fatiguing short lasting exercise.
- Studies have shown the ingestion of 20 grams of creatine for five days can lead to an
average increase in muscle total creatine concentration of about 20%.1,2 Based on
recently published studies, it appears that ingestion of 20 grams of creatine a day for
five days will significantly increase exercise performance during repeated short lasting
maximal exercise. The consistent finding from three recent studies is that creatine
ingestion significantly increased exercise performance five to seven percent by sustaining
force or work output during exercise.3,4,5,6
- The result of most current studies indicate that any improvement in exercise performance
as a result of creatine supplementation is clearly associated with the extent of muscle
creatine retention. These studies are a major breakthrough for Nature's Best and today's
athletes. Creatine can now be considered a scientifically proven athletic supplement that
should be used by athletes at every level.
