Creatine Blend

There are a number of products that combine several different types of creatine together. These potent combinations have taken the supplement world by storm.

Creatine as a base molecule is needed for the production and recuperation of an energy source in the body called ATP. When the body moves, is under physical stress, or is recovering it uses ATP to fuel muscles. This source of energy only lasts for a short period of time (3-5 seconds) and then it is gone. For example; the body will use ATP for the first repetition or two on a bench press and then after that it is relying on glycogen to keep those muscles moving! The body recuperates ATP by taking creatine and using a part of it to restore the energy molecule. This process is what allows you to get a couple extra repetitions each set or perhaps do an extra exercise at the end of your workout when you are normally spent.

Creatine also draws additional water inside muscle cells. This elevated water level keeps the muscle cell in an anabolic state so it is more likely to grow and repair more quickly.

The reason companies have begun making products with varieties of creatine in every serving is due to their varying absorption rates. These different absorption rates allow the body to constantly be absorbing and using creatine for energy reparation, muscle hydration, and muscular recuperation.

This style of product definitely provides the most amount of strength increase as well thanks to its varieties of creatine and the generous quantities per serving.

For best results take a serving of a Creatine Blend about 30 minutes prior to your weight lifting workout. Take a second serving about immediately after completing the workout. Mix it with a carbohydrate source for improved absorption.
