Creatine is a non-protein amino acid found in human tissue that is synthesized from the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. Synthesized creatine is metabolized into phophocreatine, an important storage form used by the brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Creatine monohydrate is a high-energy substrate that assists in muscle contraction, including the heart muscle. Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is the body’s essential energy compound, enhancing energy levels. Creatine helps to maintain higher levels of ATP, which, by absorbing hydrogen ions released into muscles during exercise, maximizes physical performance and reduces exercise fatigue. Creatine monohydrate has become popular with athletes, but it may also be beneficial for people who are nutritionally deficient, have conditions associated with low cellular energy, and those concerned with the muscular integrity of their heart.* This highly nutritious food product has been scientifically formulated to provide optimal potencies of whey, creatine, and glutamine in one healthful formula. Whey protein has long been used by athletes and body builders to build lean muscle mass and prevent protein breakdown. Whey has many other benefits. It has been shown to boost immune function, improve memory, and increase the production of cellular glutathione, the body’s natural antioxidant that protects the mitochondria from free radical damage.* The whey in this product has been processed by cross flow microfiltration to retain all of the most important subfractions in their natural proportions. Creatine, the non-protein amino acid, is a muscle-building supplement that can improve strength and exercise performance. Along with whey, creatine exerts a protective effect on the mitochondria while increasing the level of ATP, the cell’s energy powerhouse. Diminished mitochondrial energy production can result in impaired heart, brain, and muscle function.* The creatine in this formula has been micronized for optimal assimilation. Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid used by athletes to improve exercise endurance and fight fatigue. Some studies have shown that glutamine can help to prevent "over training syndrome" which strikes some athletes and reduces performance. Glutamine has also been shown to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract and blood lipid levels.*
