Twinlab Mega Creatine Fuel - 1200 mg 60 caps

Mega Creatine Fuel 1200 mg 60 capsules TwinlabMega Creatine Fuel , 1200 Mg per capsule 60 capsules per bottle.Creatine is considered a naturally occurring nutrient found in skeletal muscle. Creatine assists in providing muscle fibers with the energy needed to enhance muscle building, athletic performance, weight management and increases stamina.Instructions: As a dietary supplement, take 3-6 capsules daily.Additional Info: Creatine plays an important role in the transfer of energy. In the muscle, it is used to fuel the process of contraction. It is converted to Phosphocreatine which is important for short energy bursts such as sprinting and weightlifting. Depletion of Phosphocreatine can result in muscular fatigue and fading muscle power.Ingredients: Creatine MonohydrateCreatine MonohydrateClinically Relevant ConditionsRanking Health Conditions Secondary Athletic performance (for high-intensity, short-duration exercise) Other Congestive heart failure High cholesterolHigh triglycerides Physiology and Clinical Effects Creatine (creatine monohydrate) is used in muscle tissue for the production of phosphocreatine, an important factor in the formation of ATP, the source of energy for muscle contraction and many other functions in the body.1 2 Creatine monohydrate supplementation increases phosphocreatine levels in muscle, especially when accompanied by exercise or carbohydrate intake.3 4 It may also increase exercise-related gains in lean body mass, 5 6 7 though how much of these gains represents more muscle and how much is simply water retention is unclear.8Most, though not all, controlled studies have shown that 20 grams per day of creatine monohydrate for five to six days in sedentary or moderately active people improves performance and delays muscle fatigue during short-duration, high-intensity exercise such as sprinting and weight lifting.9 10 11 However, outcomes for trained athletes in competitive situations have not been consistent.12 13 14 Creatine supplementation does not appear to increase endurance performance and may impair it by contributing to weight gain.15 Improvements in exercise performance after creatine supplementation are strongly dependent on the extent of muscle retention of creatine during supplementation. About 30% of people who take creatine supplements fail to retain significant quantities in the muscle.16 17 Only one controlled study has been done to evaluate the long-term (over one month) effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation;18 more research is needed.Creatine supplementation has been reported to improve strength in rare diseases of muscle and energy metabolism.19 20 21 For people with congestive heart failure, IV creatine has been found to improve heart function, but oral supplementation has not been effective, though skeletal muscle function does improve.22 23A double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that a supplement of 5 grams of creatine plus 1 gram of glucose QID for five days followed by BID for fift
