A capsulated creatine product with added ingredients for increased uptake and nitric oxide production. A highly effective supplement for creatine non-responders.
Magnesium Creatine Chelate (MCC) : has shown in clinical trials to boost strength significantly after just 2 weeks. MCC is a fully-reacted magnesium and creatine chelate. Magnesium is needed to drive the conversion of creatine to ATP. MCC will deliver 12% more free creatine to the body than a 5 g serving of creatine monohydrate. It is a stable molecule and will not convert to creatinine in stomach acid. This product is not to be confused with Kre-Alkylyn.
MCC is a patented form of creatine that provides a highly bioavailable source of creatine and magnesium which can help prevent cyclization of creatine in the gut and improve creatine absorption. This powerful form of creatine combines the forces of magnesium and creatine into a single synergistic and patented molecule - magnesium creatine chelate. The formation of a chelate of creatine with magnesium can protect the creatine from destruction in the digestive tract and make higher quantities of the physiologically active form of creatine available to the muscle cells.
Creatine plays a vital role in energy production by recycling ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is the source of energy for all muscle cells and is required for all cellular functions including muscle contraction, DNA synthesis and protein synthesis. The ATP recycling function of creatine does not occur without magnesium because magnesium is the mineral cofactor required for the enzyme which converts creatine into ATP. In fact, magnesium actually stabilizes ATP (energy) in the body. By combining magnesium and creatine into the same molecule, both of these nutrients are provided to the cell to work in the energy producing pathways.
Creatine Ethyl Ester: is creatine monohydrate that has been attached to an ester. This ester allows for better absorption by cells as esters are able to transport effectively through cell walls.
Betaine Anhydrous: is a dietary source of Choline. Betaine's chief purpose in the body is the lowering of homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is a potentially toxic substance that results from meat digestion. As a nutritional aide, betaine anhydrous has been shown to be lipotropic - i.e. fat loss causing - by promoting the oxidization of lipids. It has also been noted to increase appetite and improve digestive efficiency.
Taurine Ethyl Ester: is useful in supporting efficient nitric oxide production. Studies have shown that a deficiency in taurine leads to reduced nitric oxide levels. Taurine also exhibits cell volumizing properties and insulin mimicking ability.
Arginine Ethyl Ester: has been added to enhance nitric oxide levels. As Arginine Ethyl Ester is more effective than AAKG at promoting nitric oxide lower quantities can be used in a formula to get great results.
K-RALA: is the R antiometer of Alpha Lipoic Acid bonded to Potassium for improved stability and bioavailability. It is a powerful antioxidant and a cofactor during the conversion of food to energy (ATP) inside the mitochondria of the cell.
4-hydroxyisoleucine: is an amino acid extracted from Fenugreek seeds. It has the capacity to stimulate insulin secretion which is useful in assisting creatine transfer into target cells.
