Creatine

Creatine is a supplement that provides a safe support to athletes who wish to deliver top performances in efforts of short term and high intensity. It supports and improves the natural ability of the body to produce energy.

Every active process in our body needs energy. This source of energy is called ATP: Adenosine-Tri-Phosphaat.

When ATP is converted into ADP (Adenosine-Di-Phosphaat) an amount of energy is being released that enables the muscle to perform. So the energy source for every, big or little, effort is ATP.

 

As the intensity of the effort increases, the amount of ATP needed will also increase. However, the quantity of ATP that a muscle cell can contain is very limited. If you want top performances to last longer, this ATP supply should be complemented immediately.

 

In our nutrition, creatine is mostly present in red meat. A varied diet delivers about 1g of creatine per day. For a higher level, you have to depend on a creatine supplement to increase this level in the plasma.

 

This has the direct effect of more instant energy and more power, so you can perform longer and more powerful. The recovery between 2 efforts is also faster and better. An other effect is the delaying of muscle exhaustion and the formation of lactic acid. Through a chain of reactions, muscle building will be stimulated and the breaking down of muscles will be decreased.

 

It is important to gradually increase the training intensity during the loading phase. The increase in muscle mass and power can give athletes the feeling that they can train more and harder. But ligaments and tendons need time to adjust to the increase in muscle power.

 

Creatine supplements

When you buy creatine, be sure to pay attention to the purity of the product. The powder may only contain creatine monohydrate and not be mixed with other substances.

 

Creatine Monohydraat

The Performance Creatine powders and capsules contain the best and purest creatine supplement on the market, namely Creapure.

 

Kre-alkalyn Xtreme

Kre-Alkalyn® Xtreme is a patented form of creatine with a PH-value greater than 12.0, that is why it stays perfectly stable in water or fruit juice. Hereby, it integrally passes through the stomach system and goes into the blood stream to be transported to the muscles.

 

Crea-Charge

The Performance Crea-Charge is a combination of dextrose, taurine, Kre-Alkalyn® and glutamine peptide, which ensures more energy so one can train longer and more powerful.

 

A lot of the Performance supplements are enriched with Kre-Alkalyn® or Creapure.
