SiS Creatine: 400g

Key Features

• 5g of high quality creatine monohydrate per serving
• Available in orange and unflavoured
• Easily mixed

RECOMMENDED USAGE

Add one heaped scoop to water or a protein shake and consume. Use 1-2 times daily. Consume a 20g loading dose (4 x 5g per day with food and/or post exercise) for 5 days followed by 3-5g per day thereafter as a maintenance dose. Creatine uptake to muscle is enhanced by insulin and muscle contraction so is best consumed with food and in the post-exercise period in combination with our key recovery products (e.g. Advanced Isolate+ or REGO Rapid Recovery).

BENEFITS

SiS Creatine is suitable for anyone partaking in successive bursts of short-term high-intensity exercise and looking to increase physical performance.
Creatine Monohydrate consumption can help increase power output during single and repeated high-intensity efforts, which can help increase aspects of endurance performance. As such, creatine supplementation can be used prior to competition and in training to increase the absolute training intensity.

WHAT IS CREATINE MONOHYDRATE?
Creatine Monohydrate is a naturally occurring and non-essential compound that can be obtained through the diet or synthesised in the liver and kidneys. Once synthesised, creatine is predominantly stored in the muscles where it also exists in a phosphorylated form known as phosphocreatine (PCr). The amount of creatine consumed in habitual diets is not sufficient to enhance muscle creatine and PCr stores. Therefore, athletes often supplement with Creatine Monohydrate.

WHAT DOES CREATINE MONOHYDRATE DO?
PCr is used to provide energy during high-intensity exercise where it is broken down by the enzyme creatine kinase to transfer phosphate to ADP to produce ATP. The rate of energy (i.e. ATP) production from this energy system is much quicker than that provided by the oxidative metabolism of carbohydrate and fats. As such, this system is very active during sprinting, repeated sprints and explosive activities (e.g. strength and power type movements). By supplementing with creatine monohydrate, the resting concentration of muscle PCr stores are enhanced and hence, high intensity exercise performance can be improved by increasing power output in single and repeated efforts.
