Animal Creatine Powder 500 gr

Universal Animal Creatine Powder 500g is made with 100% pure pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate. This supplement will be very useful for increasing physical strength and, as a result, lean mass. It is well known that achieving significant hypertrophy requires recruiting a fairly large number of motor units, a goal that can only be reached by maximising training intensity, which is directly proportional to the loads applied.

The way this supplement assists your performance in the gym is as simple as it is effective: creatine is able to support the metabolism of ATP synthesis. ATP molecules are high-energy molecules essential for anaerobic alactic physical efforts; the effectiveness of this compound is proportional to the amount taken up and stored in the muscles, which is why a carrier is needed to push it into the cell.

Universal Animal Creatine Powder: cellular energy means strength and hypertrophy

Although creatine is one of the "oldest" and most widely used nutrients in sport, even today, despite technological advances, it proves to be a very valuable aid for anyone who wants to improve performance. But how does it work? After taking this supplement, your body converts part of the creatine into phosphocreatine, a compound which, by giving up its phosphate group, allows ADP to be converted back into ATP and vice versa, so that you always have large amounts of energy available to complete explosive workouts.

Unfortunately, even as an extremely fine powder, this supplement still needs to be carried into the cells to do its ergogenic job; for this purpose you can decide for yourself which type of carrier you prefer, finding through testing the best solution for your specific case. The most commonly used carrier strategies are:

• high-glycaemic-index carbohydrates: these nutrients trigger a large release of the hormone responsible for keeping blood sugar under control, which pushes everything in the bloodstream, creatine included, into the muscle;
• non-carbohydrate insulin-mimicking compounds: these are substances that do not raise blood sugar or trigger the release of this hormone, such as fenugreek, taurine and alpha-lipoic acid.

Other interesting features of Universal Animal Creatine Powder

In addition to the above, creatine has a number of other properties of definite interest to bodybuilders: better glycogen resynthesis, greater cellular hydration and a faster metabolism. Let's look at them in detail. The first concerns restoring glycogen stores, a glucose polymer used as the primary source from which the metabolism obtains energy; the second concerns the increased presence of water in the tissues, an effect which, besides increasing volume, brings higher nutritional levels and also favours exchanges by osmosis.

Finally, a separate word on the use of creatine in a weight-loss diet. You may have heard many times that creatine is not recommended if your goal is to reduce body fat, but this is not true at all; in fact, recent tests have shown that a product like Universal Animal Creatine Powder increases the basal metabolic rate, especially in trained individuals, by up to 8%, which means greater calorie expenditure and therefore positive effects on lipolysis.
