CREATINE LIQUID
|
| Ultimate
Nutrition's Creatine Liquid is
stabilized, fully solubilized
and meant to increase the ease
with which the body absorbs
creatine monohydrate. Creatine
helps make more "fuel" available
to the muscle in the form of
ATP. This extra fuel ensures
that the muscle works faster and
longer and recovers faster after
intense exercise or sustained
physical activity. |

To perform optimally, muscles need energy.
The body provides the energy needed in
situations requiring immediate,
high-intensity actions as in exercise, in
the form of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate.
Since the body has only a limited supply of
ATP, usually to last only a few seconds of
intense exercise, ATP is continuously
produced to supply energy in order for the
muscles to function. The burst of energy is
produced by the breakdown of ATP when one
phosphate group is released, which packs
considerable metabolic energy. The body uses
creatine phosphate to quickly replenish ATP.
The more energy the muscles store, the
better they can perform in events, which
require intense, immediate energy, such as
weightlifting, sprinting, jumping, football,
hockey and soccer. Since creatine is stored
in the muscle as creatine phosphate, intake
of supplemental creatine can increase the
production of energy enabling muscles to
perform at higher intensity. While the body
produces its own supply of creatine, it is
not sufficient to supply the muscle with the
added energy necessary for intense
performance.
The benefits of creatine supplementation
for endurance athletes have been actively
researched. Creatine increases the muscle
mass and muscle girth if taken along with a
sustained exercise regimen. Initially, it
may also increase weight due to gain in the
muscle mass, which may slow down some
people, especially swimmers. The "slowing
down" may be due to the highly aerobic
nature of this exercise, and should be
reversible after sustained exercise.
Creatine is a power- and
performance-enhancing nutrient, and should
be ingested with an exercise regimen in
place. By helping the muscle release energy
during exercise, it increases the muscle
mass and strength. Ultimate Nutrition’s
Creatine Liquid is stabilized, fully
solubilized and meant to increase the ease
with which the body absorbs creatine
monohydrate. |

ASKED QUESTIONS
- What Are the Side Effects of Creatine?
Creatine does not have any adverse side effects per se if taken in
optimal doses tailored to a reasonable exercise regimen. In large
amounts, it can, however, cause gastrointestinal distress. If this
situation presents itself, the intake of creatine should be reduced
to individual comfort levels.
- How long is Creatine Liquid's shelf life?
Creatine Liquid is stable and effective for 3 years from the date of
filling.
- Does Creatine Liquid have water in it?
No, We have solubilized the creatine monohydrate in a liquid form
devoid of water in order to ensure a stable product.
- What is the pH of Creatine Liquid?
The pH of Creatine Liquid is in the range of 5.00-6.00.
