Creatine is synthesized in the liver from the amino acids arginine and glycine and stored in the major skeletal muscles including the heart. Once inside the muscle, creatine is phosphorylated to form creatine phosphate (CP) which is a high energy substrate that assists in the contraction of the myofibrils (muscle fibers). Creatine Phosphate is utilized to maintain higher levels of ATP (energy molecules) during exercise. Creatine Phosphate maximizes physical performance and reduces exercise fatigue by absorbing hydrogen ions released by muscles as lactic acid. Intense anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting and sprinting, depletes ATP and greatly increases the demand for creatine.*Creatine Monohydrate easily mixes into fluid.
One scoop of Creatine Monohydrate yields the equivalentof creatine found in 2.2 pounds (1 kg.) of uncooked red meat. Creatine Monohydrate is the most economical, stable and best absorbed form of creatine. Jarrow FORMULAS® Creatine Monohydrate is made in a GMP facility in Germany. Quality Assurance: Purity of product assured by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
Ingredients:
Creatine Monohydrate-6 grams.
Suggested Use:
Stir one scoop (6 grams) of Creatine Monohydrate into a full glass of water or fruit juice, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. Glucose, as found in certain fruit juices, enhances uptake and utilization of creatine monohydrate.
Warnings:
Do not use if kidney or liver function is impaired, or if using prescribed medication. Do not use if under the age of 18, pregnant or lactating. Do not exceed suggested usage.
