FSI Creatine Clear [Product Information]:
For years it was
assumed that a significant insulin spike was necessary for
creatine transport and assimilation into the muscle. However, a
recent study found that creatine uptake in muscle is dependent
on sodium, but not on insulin. This finding reinforces what FSI
has always maintained: It is not necessary to combine creatine
with large amounts of sugar (i.e. dextrose) for uptake into the
muscle.
Instead, FSI concentrated on making creatine more
bioavailable to the body to avoid undesirable side effects and
improve the efficiency of ATP replenishment. With one packet of
Creatine Clear you get:
92% bioavailability
Vitamins B12
and C
Sodium Necessary for uptake
FSI's Patented
Effervescent Technology
No Carbs and No Calories
Unlike
serum or liquid forms of creatine, FSI's patented technology has
actual science to back up its bioavailability and stability
claims.
Creatine Bioavailability - The Science
According
to the recommendation of the FDA Generic Drugs Advisory
Committee, the use of dissolution testing is an in vitro
surrogate marker for bioavailability. A recently concluded study
at a major, independent university was done comparing the in
vitro dissolution profiles of Creatine edge effervescent to
regular creatine monohydrate. The 2-year study revealed that 92%
of Creatine edge Effervescent was available in absorbable form
as compared to only 20% in the case of creatine monohydrate. In
fact, even after 100 minutes, creatine monohydrate had not
reached the point that FSI's technology was at after just 5
minutes.
Furthermore, regular creatine monohydrate in
effervescent form was also profiled in the dissolution testing.
There was no significant difference in absorbable form when
comparing creatine monohydrate in water and creatine monohydrate
in effervescent form. Only the patented Creatine edge
Effervescent showed the large increase in absorbability within
20 minutes.
Unlike other supplement companies, FSI Nutrition
will tell you where their lab analysis for stability is
conducted, and show you the actual results. The following are
the results from a standard laboratory analysis conducted at
Alpha Chemical & Biomedical Laboratories, one of the most
well-respected labs in the world. This particular analysis
tested the stability of the creatine in FSI's patented Creatine
edge Effervescent.
