Creatine and chromium to enhance energy supply and endurance of muscles.

Composition
Creatine citrate 200 mg/mL
Chromium picolinate 100 ug/mL

Features and Benefits
CREATINE is an amino acid which is critically involved in supporting energy supply to muscles.
Muscle contraction depends entirely on ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as an energy source. As ATP releases energy it is broken down into ADP plus a high energy phosphate. Creatine, as Creatine phosphate, converts ADP back into ATP, so that muscle contractions are able to continue after initial ATP reserves are used.
Creatine , like ATP, is essential for muscle function.

Indications
Creatine provides a vital source of energy to allow ADP to be remanufactured into ATP, so that muscle activity can be continued. Creatine phosphate is stored in muscle tissue, ready to fuel muscle activity. High creatine levels, and thus improved ATP supply, prevent the muscles using glycolysis for energy production. This is important as glycolysis produces lactic acid, which, in time, creates lactic acidosis, muscle fatigue and Tying Up, and loss of performance. By reducing lactic acid formation, Creatine is delaying the onset of muscle fatigue.
CREATINE also improves the body?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s ability to manufacture the proteins used during muscle contraction. This results in increased muscle density, size and strength.
Chromium picolinate enhances the activity of Insulin. Insulin is vital to many body functions - most importantly dealing with body sugar and facilitating muscle growth. Supplementation with chromium has been shown in trials in horses and humans to increase muscle weight gain and decrease body fat. Supplementation with chromium is important for optimal muscle development, as most diets are deficient in chromium.
The combination of chromium and creatine has a powerful muscle conditioning effect, and significantly improves available energy supplies to muscles during exercise.

Dosage and Administration
CREATINE should be given as a twice daily oral dose of 10 - 15 mL for 3 - 4 days prior to expected hard work. Give the final dose within 4 - 6 hours of anticipated strenuous exercise.

Can It Be Used With Anything Else?
Yes. CREATINE is commonly used in combination with AMP-5 (a vasodilator which improves oxygen supply to skeletal and cardiac muscle), or L-CARNITINE. CREATINE and CHROMIUM are also included in other Nature Vet products including NATROZOL POWDER. Creatine is safe to use with all other Nature Vet products.

* CREATINE improves muscle protein synthesis, muscle density & strength, and maximum work output.

Trainers Tips:
Sprinters: Benefit from the combination of AMP-5 given 24 hours, and again 4 - 6 hours pre-event, and CREATINE loaded into muscles by giving twice daily doses for 3 - 4 days prior to hard exercise, with the final dose given within 4 - 6 hours of hard work.
