BSc Creatine Powder

BSc Creatine contains pure micronized pharmaceutical-grade powder to support explosive strength and promote the building of lean muscle mass. Body Science Pure Creatine is a relatively tasteless powder that may be added to pre-workouts, intra-workouts, post-workout protein shakes or simply mixed in water and consumed. Evidence suggests that more creatine is "taken-up" by muscle when it is consumed with a carbohydrate source, such as dextrose (glucose).

BSc Creatine is a pharmaceutical grade, HPLC tested creatine with rapid absorption and utilisation due to its smaller particle size. Creatine stores in muscle, in the form of phosphocreatine, provide an energy reserve for muscle contraction. This phosphocreatine molecule donates a phosphate group to rebuild ADP back up to ATP (energy). This is the only energy synthetic process available in the human body that does not require oxygen, making it unique and essential during periods of extreme power and strength.

It was reported in Sports Medicine in 2017 that Creatine supplementation is beneficial for enhanced performance in exercise efforts that last up to three minutes. Because creatine supports the phosphocreatine pathway and muscle contraction, this means we may be able to lift a little more during training. This extra load creates a little more muscle damage (micro-tears), providing a greater stimulus for muscle growth.

BSc Creatine promote muscle water retention, also known as cell volumisation, which is a sign of anabolism. This promotes nutrient uptake by the muscle cell, creating a nutrient-rich environment for enhanced performance and muscle growth. Creatine benefits anyone wanting to increase their strength and lean muscle mass.

In a recent study, Creatine was shown to enhance lean tissue mass, leg strength and endurance during a 12-week resistance training study in men with an average age of 70 years. Given that the ageing process is associated with a loss of muscle mass and strength, Creatine combined with a strength training program is an excellent way to promote physical health in ageing individuals as well as athletes above the age of sixteen.

Creatine is synthesized in the human body, primarily by the liver and kidneys, at a level of about 1 gram per day.  Meat and fish contain creatine, with fish perhaps the superior source of this nutrient. Standard omnivorous diets are contain about 1 gram per day. For this reason, creatine supplementation is even more beneficial for vegans and vegetarians, though pescatarians may be fine given that they have regular fish meals.

As with any amino acid, dipeptide, tripeptide or polypeptide, muscle cell uptake from the blood is increased by the presence of insulin. Insulin is a powerful anabolic hormone synthesized in the pancreas, and primes the cell for amino acid uptake. Taking your creatine supplement with a small amount of carbohydrate or sugar increases muscle uptake. BSc Creatine is most beneficial when taken after exercise, according to research published by the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

How to Use Body Science Pure Creatine

Take 3g after exercise with a carbohydrate source, such as maltodextrin or dextrose (glucose). You may like to add these ingredients to your post-workout protein shake, which is absolutely fine.
