What can FSI NUTRITION -
EFFERVESCENT CREATINE 20/PK do for me? Creatine edge is perfect
for anyone who exercises on a regular basis. It is beneficial
for such exercises as riding a bike, lifting weights, Tae Bo,
kickboxing and virtually any competitive sport. Creatine edge
fuels your muscles, providing constant energy to help maintain
your intensity. Your muscles just don’t get tired as fast as
they normally would, giving you the opportunity to go harder for
a longer period of time. In short, Creatine edge gives you a
safe, effective tool to help you reach your fitness and body
transformation goals.
Creatine provides your muscles with
energy to do work. This is accomplished by replenishing ATP
stores within the muscle. Though your body produces creatine
naturally, the stores of this amino acid derivative are depleted
during exercise. By using Creatine edge, you give your body a
more efficient means of replenishing its muscular energy stores.
Creatine edge is a patented formulation that provides your body
with the most efficient means of creatine supplementation. This
innovative formula has been proven at a leading university to be
over 4 times more absorbable than regular creatine monohydrate,
the form used in virtually every other creatine product
currently available to the consumer.
Advantages vs. other
creatine products
The most popular creatine on the market
today is creatine monohydrate. This is simply because it was the
first creatine to become popular in the early 1990’s. As the
evolution of creatine began to speed up through the 90’s, it
became apparent that along with creatine monohydrate came a slew
of side effects that include all of the following: Stomach
Distress
Diarrhea
Cramping
Bloating
Unwanted weight
gain
Headaches
Nausea
In 1997, FSI’s V.P. of Research, Joe
Carnazzo, R.Ph., invented and patented effervescent creatine.
This formulation does not use creatine monohydrate, but instead,
a proprietary form of creatine citrate. This product
revolutionized the creatine industry, as it rid users of all of
the side effects listed above due to its increased
bioavailability.
This invention leaves any other creatine
product on the market obsolete. Below is a list of creatine
forms currently on the market and the problems in utilizing
them.
Pure Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate was
found to be only 20% in absorbable form after 20 minutes in
water, compared to 92% for FSI’s patented technology. This from
a recent university study. Don’t let the phrases “muscle uptake”
and “assimilation” confuse you. The uptake of creatine into
muscle can only take place after the creatine has been absorbed
through the intestine walls into the bloodstreams. What this
study shows is that if you take a 10-gram serving of creatine
monohydrate, regardless of what additives are included in the
product, only 2 grams will even be available for muscle uptake,
or assimilation.
In addition, because 80% of creatine
monohydrate is not in an absorbable form for the body, it simply
sits in the stomach drawing water from the bloodstream in an
attempt to break it down. This simply doesn’t work and instead
causes the body to become dehydrated, which leads to all of the
side effects listed above, most common of which is
diarrhea.
Creatine Monohydrate with High Amounts of
Dextrose
The creation of these products was based on published
research using high amounts (up to 96 grams) of dextrose in
order to cause a large insulin spike to increase creatine muscle
uptake. The problem with this is three-fold. First, it doesn’t
solve the original problem of creatine bioavailability, which we
have already addressed. The intestine must first absorb creatine
before the muscle can assimilate it.
Second, taking sugar in
these high amounts leads to both weight gain, attributed to fat
gain, and the danger of pancreatic damage associated with long
term use.
