ANS Performance | Creatine Monohydrate | 60/200 Servings

Creatine has been shown to significantly boost muscle strength, power, and size during high-intensity exercise. ANS Performance Creatine monohydrate is micronized (making the particles smaller) for improved mixability and
performance. From decades of research and hundreds of studies, there are several benefits to creatine monohydrate including:

• Increased muscle levels of creatine
• Increased work capacity and improved training
• Greater increases in lean body mass
• 5g of micronized pharmaceutical grade creatine per scoop

Description

CREATINE MONOHYDRATE

Creatine is involved in the phosphagen energy system, in the regeneration of ATP during short-term, high intensity activities. Creatine exists as both free form creatine and phosphocreatine in the body. Phosphocreatine functions as a storage molecule of energy during exercise.

Phosphocreatine functions to replenish ATP in muscles that are rapidly contracting by transferring a phosphate group to the ADP that was formed from the hydrolysis of ATP for energy in the contracting muscle. When our muscles run out of creatine, our short-term anaerobic energy system shuts down and our muscles can no longer perform optimally.

From decades of research and hundreds of studies, there are several benefits to creatine monohydrate including:

• Increased muscle levels of creatine
• Increased work capacity and improved training
• Greater increases in lean body mass

How to Use Creatine:

The entire goal of creatine supplementation is to saturate muscles stores with creatine. There are two primary way to achieve saturation:

Pre-Loading Method: Take approximately 20 grams of creatine monohydrate per day for 5-7 days, followed by a ‘maintenance dosage’ of 3-5 g/day thereafter.

Steady Load Method: Take 3-5g of creatine monohydrate per day. Saturation is typically achieved within 30 days.

Timing is not really critical with creatine supplementation, but the science suggests that there may be a slightly higher benefit to taking creatine after your workout.
