Advanced Creatine Serum!
The ideal solution for all people who are looking for improved performance,
and not just in sport - creatine monohydrate!
This natural food supplement very effectively optimizes supply to the muscles,
and increases performance, stamina, strength and wellbeing.
We are filling a gap in the market and setting new standards: taking the
supplement in liquid form enables the body to utilize creatine monohydrate
in a particularly rapid way without the need for the 'loading' phase. The
daily requirement of the nutrient can be simply and easily administered using
the enclosed dispenser. Taking small daily doses is also kind on the stomach.
Our product philosophy is based on the 'micro mineral system (MMS)', which
makes it possible for us to produce stable liquid plant extracts with particularly
good storage properties. Scientists have hitherto assumed that the stability
of creatine monohydrate in liquid form leaves much to be desired, as it soon
breaks down into creatinine - a product which has no benefits for the consumer.
Latest scientific discoveries made by the University of Groningen in the
Netherlands and the company 'Arotop food creation' based in Mainz, Germany,
have removed all remaining doubts concerning the stability of 'Dimaxx Muscle
Creatine Plus'. Both instances have developed a validated process for examining
creatine monohydrate, which should be of interest to every health-conscious
consumer: in tests, the shelf-life of the product 'Muscle Creatine Plus'
submitted by Dimaxx, proved to be between six months and one year depending
on storage. At 3-5 percent, the decay of creatine monohydrate into creatinine
was negligible. Further tests into a shelf-life of up to 2 years have been
commissioned.
Creatine monohydrate also receives top grades from a nutritional point of
view: at a time of intense discussion surrounding BSE and all substances
of meat origin, our 100% vegetable, non-chemical product creatine monohydrate
offers consumers the security they expect.
More Scientific Info:
The many benefits the user can expect from taking a creatine supplement have
long been known: improved performance in sport, greater vitality and capacity
for work in everyday life, and speedier recovery from illness. After the
sprinter Linford Christie won an Olympic gold medal in 1992, the use of creatine
supplements really became the subject of much discussion and research.
1. Biochemical bases
Creatine - or, to give it its chemical name, a-Methylguanidoacetic acid -
is a naturally occurring endogenic substance which plays a major part in
the metabolic process of the entire body and is just as vital for human existence
as proteins, vitamins and minerals. The substance was discovered as long
ago as 1832 as a component part of beef tea. Justus von Liebig demonstrated
the presence of the energy carrier in 1847 in the tissue of various mammals.
The name 'creatine' is derived from the Greek word for meat(kreas). The substance
is produced in the liver and also in the kidneys from the amino acids glycin,
arginine and methionine, or it enters the organism via food, in particular
through eating meat and fish.
The body of an adult weighing 70 kg can store between 100 and 120 grams of
this form of energy in the heart, the brain and the skeletal muscles. With
a mixed diet containing no creatine supplement, an average of one gram of
creatine per day is ingested. On average, the body converts two grams of
creatine a day, which it loses through elimination of the catabolic product
creatinine. In the muscles, with the aid of the enzyme creatinekinase, creatine
forms the energy-rich compound creatine phosphate by means of transphosphorylation.
In this reaction catalyzed by creatinekinase, ATP is converted into ADP.
This chemical source of energy supplies the entire body. The skeleton, the
muscles, the cell environment and the internal organs all require a continuous
supply of creatine phosphate for ensure anabolism, maintenance of the body
and proper functioning. Research has shown that the substance has outstanding
properties as an energy buffer and in particular as an energy catalyst.
2. Function and effect of creatine phosphate
The human body transforms food by means of a large number of chemical processes
into various substances, including adenosintriphosphate (ATP). If a large
amount of creatine phosphate is stored in the muscle, it is able to perform
well. The reason for this is that ATP is the universal fuel for muscles needed
by all living organisms as a source of energy.
The ingestion of creatine provides muscles with an additional source of energy,
and this produces a range of different effects. In articles written by Melchior
(1996) and Brönnimann (1998) both appearing in the sports magazine "Leistungssport",
creatine is alleged to have a very wide range of effects, implying primarily
and from a sports point of view speed, stamina and strength. Paul Greenhaff,
of the Nutritional Committee of the British Olympic Association, also praises
the positive effects of creatine for all endogenic biological processes requiring
high energy consumption levels.
The results of latest research conclude that, in addition to athletes and
peak performers in the world of sport, people who are required to perform
under pressure in their work and in everyday life can increase their wellbeing
by taking creatine. Studies into the muscle mass and strength-building properties
of creatine point in the same direction, too: greater vitality and shorter
convalescence times. It is precisely in the recovery stage that a boost can
be given to the revitalization of muscle power. Creatine is also used to
strengthen the body's immune system. Many people outside the field of high-performance
sport who take creatine report its positive effects on the performance of
the brain and memory and refer to a greater resistance to stress since they
began supplementing their diet with creatine. Many of those taking part in
trials with creatine are able to recover more rapidly and need less sleep.
Moreover, there is evidence of the successful application of creatine for
increasing the stability of bone and cartilage mass. Series of tests show
that bones and cartilage respond positively to the ingestion of creatine.
With regard to bone fractures, to the regression of bone tissue and associated
late symptoms (osteoporosis), creatine is an important stabilizer which can
aid the healing process and retard the process of bone mass loss.
3. Dosage, duration and presentation of creatine supplement
There are various prescriptions available as far as the presentation of creatine
is concerned. The customer has a choice of powder, capsules and special liquid
serum. However, everyone is of the opinion that creatine should be taken
as part of a course of treatment. A course consists of a one-week 'priming
phase' and a four to six-week 'continuation phase', followed by a 'rest phase'
of at least two months so that the endogenic production of creatine is not
inhibited. Experiments on animals have shown that chronic feeding of very
high doses of creatine can reduce the autonomic synthesis of creatine in
the body.
Powder form seems to have become most popular in practice. Nevertheless,
there is still no shortage of continued specific customer requests for a
more appropriate form which allows creatine to enter the bloodstream more
quickly. Taking into account customers' changing requirements, great care
was placed on the development of a liquid serum leading to significant increases
in performance when taken in smaller, more efficient amounts. A further advantage
is that ingestion of a smaller quantity places less strain on the digestion
process, leaving more energy for the building of muscle in the body.
The creatine monohydrate (CrH2O) dosage normally taken as a supplement is
20 grams per day. This is taken in four portions of 5 grams each by mouth,
as muscle is unable to absorb large amounts of creatine at any one time.
The dosage is repeated over five to six days (the 'priming phase'). This
application pattern is based on the research results of Harris (1992) and
Hultman.
