Creatine Gluconate uses glucose as a delivery system and is a highly effective, more bio-available and safer form of creatine than standard creatine monohydrate. Creatine Gluconate consists of a creatine molecule bound to a gluconic acid molecule in a 1 to 1 ratio. Creatine is an amino acid that is a source of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate), which is known as the energy currency of the body. Creatine Gluconate is a non-polar form of creatine that is rapidly absorbed in the body. It is also much more stable than regular creatine monohydrate and does not convert to creatinine in the gut. Because of the increased absorption and stability, creatine gluconate can increase muscle creatine levels to a greater degree than regular creatine monohydrate supplements and is considered by many to be the ultimate source for creatine.

• Improve athletic performance & endurance.

• Maximize your body's production of energy.

• No cramping or upset stomach.

• Greater bioavailability and stability than creatine mono.

• No conversion to creatinine in the gut.

• Quickly replenish ATP for peak power output.

Nothing is more important than saturating your muscles with creatine immediately after your workout. Post-workout creatine supplementation is essential for replacing creatine stores lost during training, speeding recovery, volumizing the muscle cell, increasing muscle density and hardness, and activating a powerful anabolic growth phase.  Creatine Gluconate is a quickly absorbed, fast acting creatine transport that gives you benefits of both creatine and malic acid.

Creatine Boosts Muscle Strength, Strength and Endurance: Creatine is one of the most researched and important sports supplements today. It has become a must for athletes wanting to increase workout intensity while delaying the onset of fatigue. Research has shown that supplementing with creatine can boost muscle size, strength and endurance, improve athletic performance, and speed muscle recovery. Saturating your muscles with creatine improves your body's ability to quickly replenish and recycle ATP, which increases muscle energy and delays muscle fatigue. Studies show that when athletes supplement with creatine while weight training, they can quickly gain lean body mass and strength.

Creatine may Act as a Lactic Acid Buffer Improve Exercise Recovery Time. Lactic acid is a bi-product from anaerobic (without oxygen) exercise, such as weight training. Lactic acid is responsible for the 'burning' sensation when the muscle becomes fatigued. When you cannot train anymore, it is due to you either having run out of energy or a build up of lactic acid. Creatine may act as a buffer for this lactic acid, which helps to delay the onset of fatigue.

Creatine Stimulates Protein Synthesis: It has been demonstrated that creatine may also promote muscle growth by stimulating protein synthesis in two ways. Firstly, from the increased work you are able to do as a result of its energy replenishing actions. Secondly is that the more creatine phosphate (CP) that is stored in muscle, the more water is drawn into muscle making it fuller and stronger. With more CP and water in muscle, the volume increases, and the muscle cell is volumized or 'super-hydrated'. A volumized muscle helps to trigger protein synthesis, minimize protein breakdown and increase glycogen synthesis (Haussinger 1996; 1996). If a muscle is then trained properly, this could lead to enhanced muscle growth. The muscle 'pump' experienced when using creatine is reported to be much more intense, and this is as a result of the cell volumizing effect.

The best creatine in the world:  NutraBio.com creatine is manufactured under the strictest pharmaceutical standards producing the highest quality and purest creatine available anywhere. Unlike many inferior creatine sources flooding the market, our creatine undergoes state of the art HPLC analysis to insure zero tolerance for impurities and by-products. Our creatine is produced through a temperature and humidity controlled process, using a double pass, reverse osmosis high purity water system. This is important because the production of creatine is water intensive, so impure water will yield impure creatine. Our pharmaceutical ultra-fine micronized creatine is the purest, contaminant free creatine in the world. It is laboratory-tested and assayed to ensure what you are getting is 100% pure.

How does creatine work?  Studies show that when athletes supplement with creatine while weight training, they can quickly gain lean body mass and strength - sometimes within a week. A study conducted by the University of Memphis divided 63 athletes into three groups. The groups were given either a protein and carbohydrate supplement with creatine monohydrate, a protein and carbohydrate supplement without creatine monohydrate, or a carbohydrate placebo. In one month, the athletes taking creatine monohydrate gained 5-7 pounds of lean mass which far exceeded the two groups not taking creatine.

Muscle cells generate mechanical work from an energy liberating chemical reaction -- ATP is split into ADP and P (phosphate). ATP can be used by muscle cells very quickly, but there is only an extremely limited supply -- usually only enough for a few seconds of high intensity work. When the ATP is gone, work stops. Fortunately, the body has several ways to convert ADP back to ATP. The fastest method is to move the phosphate group off of phosphocreatine and onto ADP. This yields ATP -- which is immediately available for muscular work -- and creatine. There is enough phosphocreatine to keep ATP levels up for several more seconds. So at this point we've moved from 2 - 3 seconds of all-out work (ATP) to almost 10 seconds (ATP + creatine).

The body can recharge creatine back to phosphocreatine, but this takes time (approximately 30-60 seconds). This ATP + creatine system makes up the fastest component of the anaerobic system, and is most used by power athletes. A good example is trench warfare in football (i.e., 6 seconds of all out force, followed by 45 seconds of standing around).
