Creatine

Creatine is present in the muscular tissue of many vertebrates, including man. It is a precursor of creatine phosphate, which in turn, acts as an energy store in the muscles: creatine phosphate is a compound with high energy bonds and serves to maintain the supply of ATP necessary for muscle contractions. Muscle energy is enhanced and muscle endurance is greater, creating muscle growth.

Creatine is a natural substance that is also found in many food sources as well as stored within muscle tissue. During an aerobic exercise or high intensity sports such as; weight lifting, sprinting, football etc.The contraction of muscle takes place without the use of oxygen. Muscle metabolize or release energy by the means of a chemical reaction of a substance called ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate). Stored ATP within muscle is limited to approximately 10 second supply and must be constantly re-synthesized for continuous maximum muscle contractions. Creatine is an integral part of the chemical reaction to re-synthesizing ATP. The more creatine your muscle can hold, the more fuel you have for re-synthesizing ATP and the result will be explosive muscular power, increased stamina, enhanced and greater intensity with less muscular fatigue.

Problems with  Creatine

If you take a look back into the history of  creatine, everything began with Creatine Monohydrate, followed by Micronized Creatine. The industry kept improving. There was still however small problems that lingered with some of these Creatines, such as:bloating, headaches and stomach upsets to name a few. At ASN we've come across many athletes that due to bad experiences were not game enough to consider taking Creatine again. This is a thing of the past as far as ASN Advanced Sports Nutrition is concerned.

NANO Technology Provides a Solution

NANO Technology is a patented advanced process which miniaturizers any powdered materials, such as creatine, glutamine, amino acids, foods, herbs, vitamins & minerals etc. into tiny particles, over 1250 times smaller than a micronizing process. It is aptly named 'NANO', which is one step down from the measurement micro.

Increase in Efficiency!

With the particles being so tiny, they form a greater surface area, over 1250 times greater than a micronized process, which increases the efficiency of absorption.  The particles are so small they easily pass through cell membranes, allowing assimilation straight into the bloodstream.

No Stomach Cramps and Upsets

You have probably noticed that when you mix creatine monohydrate most of the particles will sink straight to the bottom of the glass. This is because the particles are too large and course to dissolve.  These undissolved particles cause you to have stomach discomfort. With micronized Creatine having smaller particles, some creatine dissolves but most stays suspended and then the remaining particles settle to the bottom. Studies have shown not all the micronized creatine is absorbed either and with some micronized creatines, symptoms such as headaches and diarrhoea are still persistent. However with NANO Creatine they are totally eliminated.
