Scientists now know that supplementing with creatine monohydrate provides a saturation effect in skeletal muscle. This muscle cell creatine saturation effect occurs after 5 days of "loading" (5 grams 4 times per day) with creatine monohydrate. Once the muscle cell is saturated with creatine it is easily maintained at this level with just two 5 gram doses per day.

This creatine saturation effect provides several known benefits:
1. By increasing muscle creatine stores, you provide an effective ATP buffer for prolonged muscle energy production. This allows you to train at maximum muscular output for longer periods of time. In other words, you can lift heavier weights for more reps. This increase in muscular overload leads to faster and greater lean muscle gains
2. Increasing muscle creatine stores has a muscle cell "hyper-hydration" effect. This "hyper-hydration" effect is the result of increased creatine stores allowing more intracellular fluid into the muscle. This has a swelling effect on the muscle making it bigger and fuller.

Muscles typically are comprised of about 70% water. The "hyper-hydration" aspect of creatine may allow the muscle cell to hold 73% to 75% water effectively, making the muscle bigger in a rather short period of time. (Some individuals have reported 10 to 15 pound weight increases in as little as two weeks.)

Increasing muscle cell hydration leads to benefits in leverage for increased strength and possible reduction in lifting injuries.It is also believed that increasing muscle cell hydration may lead to greater protein accrual - solid lean muscle gains.

Unfortunately there are many unscrupulous supplement companies (a lot more than you would think) offering creatine monohydrate at absurdly low prices - in many instances prices lower than the raw material alone costs. By cutting their creatine with maltodextrin (a complex carbohydrate costing a mere 30 cents per pound) the customer is getting as little as half of the creatine the label claims. The texture and consistency of a 50% creatine / 50% maltodexdrin blend is virtually identical to pure creatine monohydrate. So this scam is literally undetectable without laboratory testing.

AST Sports Science uses only the purest, HPLC tested and laboratory certified, pharmaceutical grade creatine monohydrate money can buy. Our creatine is manufactured specifically for us, and to our rigid standards so you are guaranteed the finest, most effective creatine monohydrate available.

New Micronized Creatine Monohydrate from AST Sport Science incorporates a proprietary micronizing technology that produces "micro-particles" that are 20 times smaller than regular creatine monohydrate. This new tehnology gives you an advanced formula designed to go into solution rapidly and remain suspended in solution longer.

New Micronized Creatine Monohydrate is a faster acting, better absorbing creatine to help you build muscle quicker without the stomach upset and without gritty creatine left at the bottom of the glass.
