Eclipse Eclipse Creatine Monohydrate, 400g
Eclipse Creatine Monohydrate: Pharmaceutical Grade
Think all creatine is the same? It’s just not so anymore. Some greedy
companies are using less pure sources and flooding the market with inferior,
ineffective creatine. Eclipse creatine is manufactured by Pfanstiehl Labs.
Pfanstiehl creatine is manufactured in the United States, which means regular
FDA inspections. They manufacture creatine under patent 5,719,319 and are the
only producer of creatine that has registered a drug master file on creatine
with the FDA. Pfanstiehl creatine is kosher certified and they utilize state of
the art HPLC analysis. This analysis coincides with their zero tolerance for
impurities and by-products. All finished products are temperature and humidity
controlled and produced using a double pass, reverse osmosis high purity water
system (the production of creatine is water intensive - impure water yields
impure creatine). Is this all a lot of trouble? Well, yes. Is it expensive?
Sure. But we feel the satisfaction our customers get from our creatine makes it
all worth while. Once a customer tries our creatine they never go back. We
package our creatine in two convenient sizes 400 grams (one month supply) and 1
kilo (3 month supply).
What is creatine?
One of the keys to success for anyone who exercises is to keep the muscles
and brain energized. Muscle contraction and relaxation are fueled by a chemical
form of energy in our cells, called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). However,
muscles have only a small supply of ATP which is rapidly depleted during
exercise, particularly of the anaerobic (short, intense) kind. When muscles need
quick, explosive energy, as in weightlifting or sprinting, the body
resynthesizes this ATP supply using creatine phosphate.
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound produced by the liver and stored
in the brain, skeletal and cardiac muscle, sperm and certain cells of the immune
system where it is used to make creatine phosphate (CP), a key substance that
helps speed up the ATP refueling process. More creatine in the muscles would
mean more CP to unleash more energy. Muscles then are able to do more work at
higher intensity.
What happens when there is a creatine deficiency?
CP breaks down rapidly during the first few minutes of intense exercise. Decline
in muscle power and the onset of fatigue during repeated intense muscle
contractions are thought to result from a depletion of muscle CP stores.
Creatine as a nutritional supplement
In food, creatine is found in highest concentration in raw meat and fish.
However, it is unstable in the presence of heat, which means that cooking
reduces the creatine levels. One would have to consume very large amounts of
meat and fish to supply the creatine necessary to maintain energy during intense
exercise.
Muscle CP levels can be built and maintained with creatine supplementation.
Loading the muscular and central nervous system with creatine supplements may
produce a super-compensation. By boosting the body's creatine pool, athletes may
be able to extend their workouts and compete longer at a more vigorous level,
particularly those engaged in weight training, basketball, football, sprinting
and other types of short-term intense activities.
