Description

Higher Power’s Micronized Creatine delivers 5 grams of pure, pharmaceutical grade creatine monohydrate micronized powder. Creatine is an essential metabolite produced in the liver, pancreas and kidney and used to provide energy to muscles. Creatine has been used by high performance athletes (including Olympians) and bodybuilders to increase muscle size and strength and enhance athletic training and performance.

Known as an ATP promoter, creatine is essential for the production of ATP (adenosine triphospate), the source of energy the body runs on. After high intensity exercise, athletes and bodybuilders may develop low muscle stores of creatine. Creatine supplementation can increase the muscle’s ability to refuel quickly.

Numerous double-blind placebo-controlled studies suggest that creatine supplementation can increase lean muscle mass, energy, strength, endurance, performance and recovery. One study, published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, found that creatine supplementation improved the time of intense running to exhaustion by 13 percent.

Pros

The micronization process refines creatine for faster and easier mixing in water or juice, with no sediment left at the bottom of the glass. Since creatine occurs naturally in many foods (including beef and fish), it can’t be banned from any sports or international competitions.

• Promotes lean muscle mass
• Increases muscle energy
• Enhances athletic training and performance
• Supports ATP energy production
