Creatine Monohydrate
Believe it or not Roger was the first to try out Creatine many years ago. At that time it was very difficult and expensive to manufacture. If only he had known then how popular it was to become with sportsmen and muscle builders!
If you do a search on the internet you will find literally hundreds of sites advocating its use.
Creatine Monohydrate is a white, odourless crystalline powder, clear and colourless in solution.
Creatine occurs in many parts of the body but is in the highest concentrations in skeletal muscle. In short strenuous exercise rapidly uses up cellular reserves of creatine phosphate to replace ATP, the only chemical that powers muscle contraction and relaxation. Creatine Monohydrate is a very bioavailable source of creatine, which can readily combine with normally abundant phosphorus stores to replace creatine phosphate. In certain situations the addition of creatine monohydrate can improve muscle usage by 10% which may be more than enough to “win the race”. Creatine monohydrate also acts as a lactic acid buffer.
Usually, the use of creatine is split into a loading and maintenance phase. During the loading phase, larger quantities of creatine monohydrate are taken. Because the creatine only slowly disappears from the body, a maintenance phase in which less creatine is taken will still provide the body with adequate levels of creatine.
It is useful for high performance horses, and for humans in certain sporting fields.
