THE CREATINE REVOLUTION - HOW IT CHANGED MUSCLE BUILDING...
The widespread use of Creatine as Creatine Monohydrate stared in the mid 1990s. Within a few short years Creatine had become one of the most popular sports supplements for athletes and body builders. Alongside whey protein, Creatine was giving great results to athletes and body builders.
Users of Creatine, especially in its pure 100% monohydrate format started getting great results from Creatine. Scientists soon discovered that mixing Creatine with certain high sugar juices increased the effectiveness of Creatine sometimes by as much as 90%. Pure Creatine mixed with Grape or Apple juice was (and still is) one of the best body building supplements you can take.
If you had/have never used Creatine monohydrate, then you really need to experience its effects to see for yourself and feel it inside your body. There are very few experiences, esepcially in body building as unusual and memorable as the first few times you use Creatine. The feeling and effects are just unreal.
CREATINE: A FEW YEARS ON AND STILL GOING STRONG
Certain well established companies such as LA Muscle were selling pure 100% (sometimes higher compared to a standard assay) Creatine and athletes and body builders were loving the results. As with everything, some companies tried to make more money by reducing the quality of their Creatine and this somewhat affected the reputation of Creatine as a whole.
The fact was simple, to get the best results from Creatine Monohydrate you had to buy the 100% pure Creatine and mix it with Grape or Apple juice for best results.
For the majority of the population taking Creatine for the very first time is an amazing experience. The power surge, the stamina, the muscle growth and the pure energy you get from Creatine is simply unmatched. On top of this, it is always best to do a loading dose with Creatine Monohydrate and then a maintenance dose. Creatine should ideally not be taken for longer than 6-8 weeks at a time.
Again, some people started taking Creatine all year round on the advice of unscupulous companies and thus the effectiveness of Creatine on them became less and less.
After a few years, certain companies started launching different version of Creatine. High ranking companies such as LA Muscle were using their scientists to develop different Creatine formulas. The difference between science driven formulas and fancy formulas was something that was not evident at the time. Opening up a magazine and seeing hudreds of Creatine adverts, it is very difficult to see what's good and what's bad or what's genuine and what's not.
THE DIFFERENT CREATINE FORMULAS BY LA MUSCLE
Creatine mixed with dextrose and uptake agents is something that works very well and very fast. The best-selling super-Creatine-formula since 1998 is without a doubt Explosive Creatine. This amazing formula contains everything science can give you for fast, safe and noticeable results.
There were and still are similar formulas which contain the original Creatine Monohydrate mixed with dextrose and/or other agents. These are generally good formulas, depending on what is in them and the level of purity of the Creatine.
Scientists at LA Muscle laboratories started working on a different kind of Creatine in 1999. A few years later this Creatine was launched, known as Creatine Instant. This was the FIRST Creatine to actually NOT be a Monohydrate. Creatine Instant is an amazing Creatine product, bonding the Creatine to the Krebs Cycle, the same formula used by Pharmaceutical Companies to make their drugs work better.
In a way, Creatine Instant was the fore-runner of the superb CEE Creatine.
BEWARE: CREATINE FORMULAS - SOME GOOD, SOME VERY BAD!
Creatine started flooding the market. Creatine pills, Creatine syrups, Liquid Creatines and so on. Creatine even started creeping in to many other formulas. There was and still is some very bad science behind many Creatine formulas. Some liquid formulas had more Creatinine (waste byproduct) than Creatine and many government bodies banned their sale. Other Creatine formulas contained caffeine which actually hinders the absorption of Creatine.
Lots of protein formulas started to contain Creatine which was and still is wrong on 2 counts:
1. Firstly Creatine and protein are not the best mix as protein also hinders the absorption of Creatine.
2. Secondly, taking Creatine all year round without a break is simply wrong and not good for the body or for continuous gains. Mixing Creatine in protein powders can mean having to take Creatine all year round which is not good.
"CEE" CREATINE FORMULAS - CREATINE "ON CREATINE"!
The latest Creatine formula to hit the market is CEE. This formula sees Creatine attached to an Ester, making it much better in terms of absorption and effect.
One of the pioneers of CEE was LA Muscle. The best-selling CEE Supercharged has without a doubt one of the most powerful muscle building and ebergy boosting formulas on the market today. CEE Supercharged contains two amazing forms of Creatine as well as 2 powerful uptake agents.
If you want to try the most powerful Creatine formula your money can buy, then there simply is not stronger product on the market currently than CEE Supercharged. This product is a best-seller across 4 continents and is VERY strong for muscle & strength increases within 2-3 days and onwards.
