Description:
RHB Creatine Cocktail contains Creatine, which is a very popular product used by athletes to build lean muscle mass. Creatine is a nutrient that your body produces yourself in your muscle tissue. When you add it to your body it acts basically as a store house much like building glycogen stores. When an athlete or person is training vigorously and need a boost the storage are of the Creatine is opened and enables you to work longer and harder. The nutritional industry has generally misused the product to take advantage of the customers. The combination products similar to RHB Creatine Cocktail are filled with 50-70 grams of sugar, when scientifically it has been proven you only need 5 grams of sugar to maximize the effectiveness of this product.
Creatine increases insulin levels, thus stimulating the body's sodium/potassium pump system, Creatine's pathway into the muscle cells.
Clinical studies have suggested that taking Creatine after workouts increases absorption into the muscle. When supplementing with Creatine, additional water intake is necessary to maintain body fluids, especially during extended and/or intensive activity in hot weather. Be sure to drink plenty of water!
Creatine is synthesized in the liver, pancreas and kidneys from the amino acids Arginine Glycine and methionine. While dietary Creatine is also available in meats and fish. Creatine decreases rapidly when such foods are cooked. There are approximately 2 grams of Creatine per pound of raw, red meat. Studies have indicated that the average person has the ability to store an additional 30% more Creatine in skeletal muscle through supplementation. This enables muscle to work harder and longer during intense activities. During exercise our bodies rely on several energy mechanisms in order to maintain the required fuel, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), needed for muscle contraction. The initial, most powerful energy system your muscles utilize when performing anaerobic activity directly involves Creatine. After ATP is burned it is reduced to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), it must be converted to ATP in order to be utilized by the muscle again. This is what Creatine does, replenishes ATP.
