Vitals Creatine CV
Creatine is one of the most popular, best-researched, and most effective nutrients for athletes. Much less well-known, however, is that creatine can also increase muscle strength in people over 55, when combined with muscle-strengthening exercises. Maintaining good muscle strength is one of the most important aspects of healthy aging. And it's great that creatine can contribute to this, in addition to regular exercise, which is naturally the most important. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of at least 3 grams of creatine.
Because creatine is so widely used, there are various suppliers of creatine supplements. Unfortunately, the quality of the creatine offered is not always high. Vitals has therefore chosen Creavitalis®, a very pure creatine monohydrate from the German manufacturer Alzchem. Creavitalis® is the micronized (refined) version of their well-known and acclaimed Creapure®. Alzchem's creatines are therefore the most widely used in scientific research, because their quality and purity are unparalleled.
Effects of creatine
Creatine is a molecule that occurs naturally in all vertebrates. The name creatine comes from the Greek word "kreas," meaning "flesh." Creatine plays a key role in cellular energy metabolism. It is therefore primarily found in energy-intensive tissues, such as skeletal muscle. Creatine is a semi-essential nutrient. The body can produce creatine in the kidneys and liver from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, but this is not always sufficient to meet needs. Therefore, it is also necessary to ingest some creatine through diet.
Creatine in food is always of animal origin. It's mainly found in meat, fish, and poultry. People who eat vegetarian or vegan diets therefore generally have a lower intake of this nutrient. Creatine in supplements is not derived from animal sources and is therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Creatine can be converted into creatine phosphate (CP) in muscle cells under the influence of the enzyme creatine kinase. The phosphate group can then be linked to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), forming ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main energy carrier in our cells. Taking additional creatine to contribute to energy supply via CP is particularly beneficial during short-term, high-intensity efforts, such as strength training and sprint training.
Besides contributing to physical performance by supporting energy metabolism, creatine supplementation also plays a role in enhancing the effect of resistance exercise on muscle strength. Maintaining muscle strength is particularly important for people aged 55 and over. Therefore, it's highly recommended to do muscle-strengthening exercises several times a week.
Creatine monohydrate is the most common form of creatine found in supplements. This is the form that appears to be most effective and is best absorbed by the body. A disadvantage of creatine monohydrate is that it does not dissolve well in aqueous fluids. To improve this, the German manufacturer Alzchem has developed a so-called micronized creatine monohydrate, branded Creavitalis®. "Micronizing" is a production process in which particles are made extra small, down to a magnitude of micrometers (one millionth of a meter). This ensures significantly improved water solubility, which offers advantages for the user. Alzchem's Creavitalis® has the same impeccable purity and quality as their trusted Creapure®, and is just as effective. The powder also has a very neutral taste, making it suitable for use with just water.
- Creatine stimulates muscle growth during explosive strength efforts*
- Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise*
- Creatine can be used when athletes have an increased need*
- Daily use of creatine can increase the effect of strength training in people over 55 years of age**
* The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams (= 3000 mg) of creatine in combination with high-intensity training.
**The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams (= 3000 mg) of creatine in combination with resistance training at least three times per week at an intensity of at least 65%-75% of the maximal force that an individual can exert in a single movement.
Compound
Ingredients
Creatine monohydrate.
Usage
As a dietary supplement for adults, mix 1-2 level scoops (3.4-6.8 grams) per day with approximately 200 ml of water or other cold liquid.
Preferably take it in the morning or immediately after exercise. A loading phase (taking 20 grams of creatine monohydrate for the first five days) is possible, but not necessary.
Stick to the recommended dosage.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
