Creatine is an important compound utilized by
skeletal muscle to regenerate the energy molecule ATP by enhancing levels of
phosphocreatine.* Support For Physical Training: Creatine
monohydrate provides safe nutritional support for athletes seeking peak
performance in short-duration, high- ntensity workouts. By supporting the body's
natural ability to regenerate the primary energy immediately available to
working muscle, creatine monohydrate has the potential to increase optimal work
output and delay fatigue in activities such as weight-lifting and sprinting.
Furthermore, creatine may also support lean body mass.* Creatine monohydrate (micronized) is synthetically
produced. Pure Encapsulations recommends up to 20 grams per
day, in divided doses, mixed with a beverage, for 5–7 days. Thereafter, the
maintenance dose is 5–15 grams per day, in divided doses. Taking creatine with a
sports drink or juice, such as grape juice, may help maximize muscle uptake of
creatine. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. No consistent toxicity has been reported in studies
of creatine supplementation. Creatine supplementation should be avoided by
individuals with existing kidney disease. At this time, there are no known adverse reactions
when taken in conjunction with medications. Brose A, Parise G, Tarnopolsky MA. Creatine supplementation
