Especially useful for vegetarian athletes as they obtain no or very little Creatine from their diet. Naturally occurring protein present in a normal balanced diet. Supplementation with Creatine has been shown to increase intramuscular phospho-creatine stores, improve performance and aid muscular development Science in Sport only use pharmaceutical grade European manufactured Creatine that is then packed in their own drug free facility, it does not contravene any IOC regulations. Science in Sport warranty that their products are free of contamination by banned substances. What is Creatine? Creatine is a natural constituent of a normal diet. Muscle foods such as steak and sushi are often quoted as being high in Creatine. However, vegetarian sources do exist, juniper berries being a particularly good example. Creatine is found in high concentrations in human muscle where it plays an important part in the energy production process. Normally this Creatine is provided from the diet but the body does have the ability to manufacture Creatine from the amino acids Arginine, Glycine and Methionine. How much to use when? Most research has been undertaken using 5g doses taken 4 times a day, 20g a day in total. Doses of 5g produce a large rise of Creatine in the blood that “pushes” the Creatine into the muscle. Taking a loading dose of 20g a day for 5 days produces a rapid rise in Creatine stores, and most athletes notice a difference immediately although some take a few days to “settle down”. It is possible, and now generally recommended, to produce the same end result by taking a single 5g dose once a day for 4 or 5 weeks and slowly ramp up stores. Once Creatine stores are loaded athletes can maintain levels by taking 2-5g a day. Alternatively you can let your levels taper back down and re-load after 2 or 3 months. Available in 110g, 250g or 500g tubs.
