What
Is So Special About Creatine Cocktail?
Creatine cocktail offers a unique blend of
synergistic ingredients designed to maximize
the results available from creatine
supplementation. In addition, the creatine and
other components of the product are of the
highest quality available. This high quality
blend prevents the side effects often seen
with other creatine products of lower quality.
Such side effects include bloating and other
gastrointestinal symptoms. As such, the smooth
assimilation of Creatine Cocktail ensures
consumer compliance. The product also tastes
great. Creatine Cocktail's combination
of pharmaceutical grade creatine and whey
protein, plus cell-volumizing nutrients, such
as glutamine, alpha-lipoic acid, and taurine,
assure an optimal anabolic and recovery
response from intense training.
What
Will Creatine Cocktail Do For Me?
Creatine
Cocktail will favorably influence muscle
protein synthesis and act as a buffer during
exercise to prevent excessive acidity buildup
in muscle that leads to fatigue.
Creatine is so effective in maximizing
muscle power that it is currently being
investigated for use in treating diseases such
as Muscular Dystrophy that are characterized
by having extreme muscle weakness.
It also has been shown to favorably
effect neuromuscular disorders, such as Lou
Gehrig Disease or ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis).
How
Safe is Creatine?
Numerous studies, such as several recently
presented at the 2000 meeting of the American
College of Sports Medicine, attest to the
complete safety of Creatine. Creatine doesn't
promote any kind of kidney disease, muscle
cramps, etc. It's important to ensure adequate
fluid intake of at least two liters daily.
How
Important Is Supplementation With Glutamine?
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino
acid not only to bodybuilders but to anyone
who is involved in any type of exercise
program. Glutamine is important to maintain
proper health. Documented clinical studies
have shown that Glutamine will have a
significant impact on maintaining a positive
nitrogen balance which is essential to
muscular development and recovery. Within a
week of Glutamine supplementation, your
muscles become visibly larger since you have
an increase in the amount of water driven into
the muscle cells similar to the effect that
creatine gives. This effect is known as "cell
volumization". One of the effects of
Glutamine is that it helps the immune system
by producing more white blood cells.
Will
I Retain Water Taking Creatine?
There is no extra cellular water retention
associated with Creatine. The only water
retention involved occurs inside the cell, a
process called "Cell Volumization".
This process is linked to increased muscle
protein synthesis, which means greater muscle
size and strength. In anabolic states, muscle
hydration or water retention always occurs,
with the reverse occurring during catabolic
conditions, i.e., cellular dehydration. To put
it simply, while some people may gain some
"water weight" during a creatine
load phase, this isn't the bloating effect
normally associated with water retention.
As
A Women, Will I Get Big Muscles Taking
Creatine?
No unless you go out of your way to do so, as
in the case of the competitive female
bodybuilders. Women lack the testosterone
levels of men, so they have a limited capacity
to add muscle size. Creatine, while promoting
muscle efficiency in women as well as men,
won't add excessive muscular bulk to women.
Many famous athletes and models lift weights
and use creatine, but still retain their
femininity and don't have big muscles.
As
A Senior Citizen Should I Take Supplements
Such As Creatine?
Senior citizens may not eat enough vital
nutrients to retain health. They don't absorb
creatine as efficiently as younger people
because of a relative decreased activity of
the creatine transporter mechanism in muscle.
By helping to increase muscular efficiency,
Creatine may work in tandem with a sensible
weight-training program to promote added
strength and recovery, and maintain full
muscle function in senior citizens.
Is
Creatine Cocktail Diabetic Friendly?
Creatine is safe for diabetics, since it's
basically just an amino acid byproduct that
doesn't promote a huge insulin release like
carbs. The fructose in Creatine Cocktail does
not cause an immediate insulin release and has
a low glycemic index.
How
Do I Take Creatine Cocktail?
Mix two
scoops (47g) with 8-10 oz. of cold water.
Creatine Cocktail is best used in either of
two ways. The first involves a creatine load
regime, in which the product is taken 4 times
a day for the first 5 days. Take one serving (two
scoops) in the morning, 30
minutes to one hour before the workout,
immediately after the workout, and just before
bedtime.
An alternative method is to simply take
one serving (two scoops) each day for 30 days,
which will also lead to a creatine loading
effect in muscle. For best results, take one
serving (two scoops) 30
minutes to one hour before the workout and
immediately after the workout. When using this
product it’s important to ensure adequate
fluid intake of at least two liters of
water daily. Once the loading process is
completed, maximal levels of muscle creatine
is maintained with two scoops of Creatine
Cocktail daily.
