Creatine Select: Noticeably Improved Strength and Endurance
It used to be that Creatine was considered a supplement no serious
bodybuilder should do without. Yet for some, it has lost a bit of its “glamour”.
It’s no surprise. The truth of the matter is that some of the heavily promoted
creatine products just didn’t deliver. In fact, some of them not only didn’t
help increase endurance and strength, but they caused an array of unpleasant
side effects instead!
They Tried To Make Creatine 'More than It Was'…They Messed Up BIG!
What happened as soon as the athletic community started buying into the creatine
craze? Some companies started adding sugar (the labels called it pharmaceutical
dextrose) to their creatine products to try and get a market edge. That’s when
the downhill slide in effectiveness started. Millions of marketing dollars were
poured into campaigns to sell those “sugary sweet” creatine products, as well as
the assorted hybrids that surfaced complete with the normal outrageous claims.
Unsuspecting purchasers had high expectations…but what they got instead was
bloated, sugar-induced, water-pulling, gastrointestinal distress. This is what
caused many bodybuilders to become “fed up” with creatine. However, don’t let
greedy and silly attempts by some, fool you into thinking that creatine isn’t
effective. See, for over one-hundred years creatine has been studied, and quite
extensively as it relates to muscle contraction, exercise, work and metabolism.
There are volumes of research studies on the benefits of creatine monohydrate
and phosphates individually but ONLY A FEW studies where creatine and phosphates
were combined. (Wallace et al, 1997 and Eckerson, 2001.) Those two studies
revealed that subjects taking a creatine plus phosphate mixture out performed
subjects taking creatine only by nearly a 300% ratio. They showed a significant
increase in muscle power, (translates to more weight on the bar) and anaerobic
work capacity, (i.e. more reps in the gym). It’s creatine monohydrate in
combination with selected phosphates that makes the difference between
disappointment and seeing real results. Research showed that creatine, (provided
there is enough phosphate available to combine with it) will likely decrease
fatigue, cause volume increasing effects in muscle cells through hydration, and
may even increase the rate of satellite cell production and overall protein
synthesis. In Supplements for Strength-Power Athletes (Antonio and Stout, 2002),
the authors site a study in which subjects were given 5 grams of creatine plus 1
gram of phosphate, four times a day OR 5 grams of creatine without phosphate,
four times per day. The group that took the combination of creatine AND
phosphate increased anaerobic work capacity by 49%. That’s more than three times
greater than the creatine-only group.”
