The original "No Load, No Maintenance" Creatine
Serum formula was the first one introduced as a safer
alternative to powdered creatine and other performance
enhancing supplements.
It became an immediate hit among athletes who realized
that the creatine serum made it easier for them to exercise
harder and longer. Creatine Serum helped them to get
a step ahead of athletes who were using powdered or
other forms of creatine.
The creatine serum offers creatine monohydrate in stabilized
liquid form. With a two year shelf-life, the creatine
serum will not break down to waste product creatinine.
Creatine Serum also metabolizes faster, safer and more
efficiently than powdered creatines.
Absorption and food
Because ATP Advantage Creatine Serum bypasses the digestion
phase, it is absorbed by the body more efficiently.
You will not have to worry about your food intake and
managing your diet to reap the benefits of creatine.
Powdered creatine takes 45 minutes to one hour to digest
and is known to bind with food, hindering its absorption.
This is why many athletes who are users of powdered
creatine do not eat few hours before workout. Not consuming
food before workout can cause many problems, including
a lower energy level. With ATP Advantage Creatine Serum,
worrying about food intake is a thing of the past.
Creatine serum - No loading or maintenance
The purpose of the loading and maintenance phase required
with powdered creatine is to saturate the muscles with
creatine. When the body reaches a maximum level, and
muscles are saturated, the balance is expelled in your
urine. So, super-saturation with massive doses of the
powder is totally useless and waste of money. Furthermore,
the body has a limited capacity to absorb creatine.
Hence you may absorb 40-50% of the creatine you actually
take - maybe less depending on the level of natural
creatine in your body.
ATP Advantage Creatine Serum needs no loading because
it saturate the muscles within minutes with enough creatine
for your immediate workout. The maintenance phase is
not necessary either, although some serum users prefer
to take it daily to boose other energy-requiring activities.
Creatine serum - NO Dehydration, and low dosages
required
Taking high dosages of creatine powder due to its poor
absorption have caused many athletes to suffer severe
dehydration. Taking creatine powder requires an athlete
to drink extra water to counteract the dehydration caused
by the powder. The problem is that powdered creatine
pulls water from the body like sponge. Because you take
a much lower dosage of creatine you won't experience
this problem with Creatine Serum. One 5 ML serving
of creatine serum taken right before workout offers
the equivalent of 2,500 mg of powdered creatine.
And this small dose, which is absorbed completely into
the bloodstream without wastage, is more than enough
for any athlete's needs. In fact, many studies have
reported that our muscles can handle only about 3 grams
a day after the loading phase. It is worth noting that
a normal liver makes about 2 grams of creatine each
day.
Creatine serum is easy on kidneys with no leveling
off
Due to the formation of creatinine, the waste product
derived from powdered creatine, the kidneys have to
work harder to flush out excess waste. Again, this is
not a problem that users of ATP Advantage Creatine Serum
face. Creatine serum is completely depleted from the
body after any intense session 1-3 hour workout.
There have been many reports about creatine's "leveling
off" effect. After sustained usage, creatine seems
to become less effective. So, many experts call for
a break, or cycling. This eases pressure on the kidneys,
and then creatine can be re-introduced after a while.
Cycling is not needed with the creatine serum because
there is no strain on the kidneys, and consequently
no leveling off effect.
Creatine serum and water retention
When powdered creatine was introduced in the U.S.,
athletes were very excited about its possibilities.
However, it was discovered later from athletes who quit
using creatine powder that some muscles actually shrunk.
This is because the powder retains water which helps
make up what are called cosmetic muscles. So, some athletes
reported a loss of size and performance after their
creatine use ended. Creatine Serum, on the other hand,
acts on the water that inside the muscle so effectively
that a small dose of the serum performs its job perfectly
adequately. It builds lasting strength and improves
endurance. The key is simply to keep your energy level
up, and maintain muscles even after you decide to quit
using any form of creatine.
Creatine serum is far nicer to take.
Powdered creatine is known for its chalky gritty taste.
Trying to flavor it with other powdered flavors actually
adds to its chalkiness. Creatine Serum comes in six
natural tasting flavors, cherry, grape, orange, strawberry,
blueberry and raspberry. Many users actually describe
its taste as "delicious".
