Axis labs Creatine Ethyl Ester 240 Caps

Creatine is by far, one of the best discoveries that has ever hit the bodybuilding/fitness world. Creatine is a compound which is made in the body from the amino acids glycine and arginine, and is derived from the diet through meat and animal products. In the body, creatine is changed into a molecule called phosphocreatine which serves as a storage reservoir for regenerating ATP. ATP is the chemical source of energy for muscle contraction and quick energy. Phosphocreatine is an important source of ATP energy in muscle tissue and studies have shown that creatine can increase the performance of athletes in activities that require quick bursts of energy, such as sprinting and weight lifting.

Creatine supplementation combined with strength training has been shown to cause dramatic improvements in muscle hypertrophy (size) and strength through cell volumization and increased protein synthesis. Cell volumization is an increase in muscle volume (size) caused when water follows creatine into our muscles. Cell volumization can increase strength by increasing the amount of force a muscle can contract with. There is also research that indicates that cell volumization and creatine supplementation can signal muscle cells to grown and increase protein synthesis, while preventing protein breakdown.

Creatine monohydrate has proven effective in increasing muscle mass, strength and all around athletic performance and long-term clinical studies have also shown that creatine monohydrate is safe for use by people without medical conditions. However, creatine supplements are only as effective as their transport system.

Where Regular Creatine is Lacking Traditionally, creatine monohydrate has been taken with large amounts of carbohydrates and sodium to help shuttle the creatine into muscle cells. This is due to the relatively poor absorption rate of creatine without sugar and sodium. A loading phase of several days was necessary with traditional creatine monohydrate in an attempt to saturate muscle cells. Unfortunately the loading of creatine monohydrate along with high doses of sugar and salt can lead to bloating, cramping and dehydration.

Increased Bioavailability and Effectiveness Instead of saturating your system with creatine, sugar, and salt hoping for absorption, Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL directly penetrates the muscle cell resulting in dramatically more functional creatine per dose. This means no more loading, bloating, cramping or dehydration. Most users notice a difference in their first dose. Now you can have all the benefits of creatine supplementation without any of the side effects.
