Product Information

As far as diet meal replacements go, I think this is a good choice to be honest. You get some diet meal replacement shakes that contain very little nutrition and about 200 calories, which won’t get you very far. There are many benefits to the ‘loading’ protocol: muscle stores increase from baseline 125mmol.kg to their max 160mmol.kg in a very short period (3-7 days), Peak Power Output is improved, an increased ability to repeat maximum efforts requiring a shorter recovery period is seen and increased ATP (energy) and Phosphocreatine (PCr) resynthesis. However, a ‘loading’ approach will inevitably lead to weight gain, ~2kg in the first 5 days of CrM supplementation. This immediate gain will mainly be due to fluid retention, recent research has begun to suggest that over a longer period (when combined with resistance training) this may be maintained as muscle mass. Therefore, careful consideration must be taken for any athletes involved in weight making sports (Boxing, MMA, physique competitors, etc.). You don’t need to load Creatine, but it is an easy way of rapidly getting results. Otherwise, you’re probably going to need to wait around 2 weeks to see any major improvements. The first one is the price. Protein Works positions itself more in the premium category, offering high-quality products that often come with a slightly higher price tag.

I see no reason why somebody shouldn’t supplement Creatine […] it’s safe, it’s healthy, it’s cheap and for most people it just works”A. It simply means that the particle size of the Creatine Monohydrate is 20 times smaller than regular Creatine powder. Known as 'micro particles'.

For those that may not know, creatine monohydrate is stored within our muscles and is a molecule that plays a crucial role in the production of energy during high-intensity muscle contractions over a 1-10 second period. Perfect for sprinting, or lifting weights, and now even better with the addition of Creatine (100% Creapure®). Creatine (100% Creapure®) Benefits One relatively new approach is to load with 20x1g doses, taken every half hour for 5-7 days. Recent research has linked this with a more rapid muscle uptake of PCr and Creatine. This approach is still in its infancy and requires further investigation. Additionally, although potentially exceptionally efficient, it would seem to be impractical for all those except professional physique competitors. In terms of protein quality, whey is at the top of the list, hence why its supplements are so popular among bodybuilders and other athletes.It doesn't matter too much when you use it or what you mix it with. In short, creatine is a multi-purpose supplement that has a number of benefits for both physical and mental performance. It’s cheap, it’s safe and it works. On the other hand, if you are looking to maximize muscle mass and strength, it may be beneficial to take both whey protein and creatine. Summary A. To help increase lean muscle mass, improve athletic performance during high intensity training and improve energy levels and recovery times.
