How Does NSI® Creapure® Creatine work?
Creatine is an amino acid (protein building block) that supplies energy to muscle cells. The body produces about half of the creatine it needs daily, and the other half is obtained through foods such as fish, meat and milk.
Approximately one-third of the creatine stored in the body is in its free form as creatine, while the rest is bound to phosphate and called "creatine phosphate" or "phosphocreatine." During high-intensity exercise, phosphocreatine is broken down, releasing energy that’s used to recreate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the main "fuel" source that drives many of the body’s biological processes, including muscle contraction. Creatine is believed to promote enhanced performance by replenishing levels of ATP.
In addition to having positive effects on physical performance, creatine may also benefit mental performance. Like muscle cells, brain and nerve cells use ATP for energy. During times of high energy needs (physical or mental), creatine is makes ATP accessible. If creatine levels are increased, there is more energy available for the body to use.
Produced since the mid-1990s by AlzChem, a German company. CreaPure® Creatine is a pure, high-quality creatine (monohydrate) that’s manufactured using a patented system involving the synthesis of carefully selected, non-animal-sourced raw materials through chemical reactions. It’s widely recognized as one of the most high-quality, purest forms of creatine on the market.
Creapure® has been tested for safety in both classic toxicological tests and more than 50 clinical trials. People of all ages tested Creapure® in sports and non-sports applications over a period of more than 21 months without experiencing any side-effects. Because other creatine manufacturers use different manufacturing processes, and therefore have different purity profiles, only Creapure® has this proven safety profile.
NSI® Creapure® Creatine delivers 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per one-scoop serving. Dissolve in water, juice, sports drinks, hot tea or other beverages and drink immediately for best results.
NSI® Creapure® Creatine is better because it:
• Is tested for impurities using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
• Contains no animal ingredients and is safe for vegetarians.
