Creatine Edge Effervescent by FSI Nutrition
Description
How does effervescent creatine work?
Creatine Edge is an effervescent that is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine, up to 195% more effective than any creatine monohydrate product. (Other creatine supplements enter the stomach as solids, resulting in intestinal and stomach discomfort, limited absorption and excretion of about 65% of the creatine as a waste product.) Creatine is carried in the bloodstream to the skeletal muscles. Muscles use a substance called ATP for the energy to contract. Continued exertion causes muscle fatigue as ATP breaks down into ADP. In the muscles, creatine combines with phosphate ions to form phosphocreatine. It refuels exhausted muscles by helping to convert ADP back to ATP. Large reserves of phosphocreatine delay muscle fatigue and speed muscle recovery.
How does creatine help performance?
When you run the bases, throw a pass or row a boat, muscles depend on a substance called ATP for energy. In the process, ATP is broken down into ADP. That is when energy sags and fatigue sets in. Creatine, a nutrient found mainly in red meat, is a natural compound found in the muscles that combines with phosphate ions to form phosphocreatine. It refuels exhausted muscles by helping to convert ADP back to ATP. Taking creatine supplements increases the reserves of phosphocreatine well beyond what can be achieved with diet alone. Large reserves delay muscle fatigue and speed muscle recovery. In addition, muscle cells hold more water, causing muscles to grow in size as well as strength. Some studies show a decrease in body fat in athletes who use creatine.
