THE LEADER IN CREATINE FOR OVER TWO DECADES
Creatine monohydrate is the most studied supplement available and is backed by years of research. Since its introduction in the early 1990s, creatine has undergone more studies than any other supplement – proving itself effective time and time again. It’s approved in virtually all sports associations, too, making it the perfect performance and strength supplement for competitive athletes.
FULLY DISCLOSED FORMULA
Creatine “microdosing” or “concentrated dosing” is a marketing gimmick designed by unscrupulous creatine brands to artificially inflate the number of servings that can be labeled on a bottle of their product. In reality, there is no research supporting the efficacy of such low doses of creatine per day. In fact, a 150 lb. male can lose about 2g of creatine every day due to it naturally breaking down in the body. If you weigh in excess of 150 lbs., you can now see the futility of thinking you’re going to make gains from a creatine powder that is telling you to only take 1,500mg a day.
Platinum 100% Creatine delivers a full 5g of creatine in each scoop. Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology1 showed that a dosage of 3g of creatine daily for about a month is the minimum amount required to saturate muscles, for increased muscle strength, increased performance and enhanced muscle size. If you’re shopping for a creatine supplement that is recommending you take less than 3g per day, give it a hard pass and stick with products backed by research.
BUILD MORE MUSCLE SIZE AND STRENGTH
Creatine is able to rapidly enhance your muscle cells’ ability to regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is your primary source of anaerobic energy. In muscles, the creatine monohydrate you ingest, such as that in Platinum 100% Creatine, is changed into a molecule called phosphocreatine, which serves as a storage reservoir for regenerating ATP.
With higher ATP levels, you’ll be able to train harder and recover faster between each set – allowing you to do more work in less time. With higher volume, you can make more gains and get bigger and stronger.
In fact, in one clinical study, subjects using the dose of creatine found in one max serving of Platinum 100% Creatine gained an amazing 6 lbs. of muscle in just 6 weeks. And in a separate study, test subjects increased their bench press strength by an amazing 18.6% in just 10 days.
INCREASE CELL VOLUMIZATION
Another positive attribute of creatine is the process known as “cell volumizing.” Creatine monohydrate draws water inside the muscle cell, effectively increasing its volume. Why is cell volume important? Well, research suggests that increasing cellular hydration and cell volume can combat protein breakdown and stimulate protein synthesis. By saturating your muscles with creatine, you can increase intracellular fluid, resulting in bigger, fuller muscles.
