What is Creatine?
Creatine Monohydrate Powder is a naturally occurring nitrogenous organic acid that helps supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle cells. Creatine is essential for muscle contraction and enhances athletic performance. Creatine Monohydrate is a quick energy source, helping to improve maximum strength, endurance, and power. Studies show that Creatine Monohydrate can increase strength by up to 15% and increase power and energy release by up to 30% in short-burst and interval sports. Also, Creatine Monohydrate supports lean muscle gains.
How Does Creatine Work?
Inside the muscles, Creatine Monohydrate binds to a phosphate molecule to create phosphocreatine, which plays a pivotal role in the recycling of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Phosphocreatine donates a phosphate to ADP to form ATP, thereby providing more energy for muscle contraction. This increases strength, power, and endurance, which leads to improved workout performance, increased lean muscle mass, and faster muscle recovery.
Benefits of Creatine Monohydrate Powder
Better Pumps
A quick look into the underlying physiology of reactive hyperemia, or “the pump,” suggests that blood flow to the area is critical. Muscle fullness or cell volumization is directly linked to the growth of muscle. Grow the cell, grow and grow the muscle. Increased intramuscular creatine helps to deliver better pumps and give the muscle a fuller appearance.
Better Dieting
During the fat loss phase of a training program, when you are typically cutting back on carbohydrates while aiming for weight loss, supplementing with creatine will help to keep your performance levels high. By adding creatine to your daily supplementation, you can help offset diet-related fatigue and maintain higher levels of power and, ultimately, muscle growth.
The AllMax Difference
Allmax pharmaceutical-grade creatine is the ultimate in purity and safety; it is rigorously held to strict standards that meet or exceed independent third-party testing for WADA-banned substances and cGMP guidelines. In addition, our creatine is micronized to an ultra-fine, free-flowing powder. Most creatine monohydrate powders on the market today have particles that are up to 250% larger!
