Creatine
Creatine Monohydrate
Increases muscle growth and strength
possibly only temporarily. The recommended daily dosage of
Creatine is 5g. Food sources of Creatine are: Salmon, Pork,
Beef, and Tuna. However, you would have to eat about 2 ½
pounds of beef per day in order to meet the recommended
dosage of Creatine. Each person's capacity for Creatine
storage is different. Most of the body's Creatine is stored
within the skeletal muscles. The body cannot utilize excess
stores and excretes it through urination. If you are
genetically predisposed to store larger amounts, then you
will not benefit from additional Creatine supplements. The
body can synthesize Creatine from Amino Acid stores if
needed but not in any appreciable amounts.
Creatine works by assisting in the regeneration of Adenosine
Triphosphate (ATP). This allows the muscles to perform
contractions for longer periods before becoming fatigued.
ATP is used mostly in short burst type muscle contractions.
A common practice is called "loading" as recommended by the
manufacturers of Creatine. This involves taking large doses
(20 g/day for a about a week) and then reducing the dosage
to 2 to 5 g/day.
Possible Health Hazards: dehydration, muscle cramps
and muscles injuries.

BetaGen (90 servings)
BetaGen
is the new “high
performance” version of the
original BetaGen—the first
formula to combine
University-tested HMB (ß-hydroxy
ß-methylbutyrate
monohydrate) with Phosphagen
brand creatine.
Supplementing your
comprehensive exercise
routine with BetaGen may:
- Increase lean mass
and strength
- Suppress muscle
protein breakdown
- Enhance muscle
energetics and
recuperation
BetaGen is a great
tasting drink mix that's
simple and convenient to
use. This remains one of the
most popular creatine
products on the market.
