NSI CreaPure® Creatine -- 5,000 mg - 500 g (1.1 lbs)

NSI® Creapure® Creatine. Premium quality, ultra-pure creatine! Promotes enhanced athletic performance, strength and fitness. Creatine may also help build bones and cartilage, contribute to healthy brain function and memory, support immune health and protect cells. How Does NSI® Creapure® Creatine work? Creatine is an amino acid (protein building block) that supplies energy to muscle cells. The body produces about half of the creatine it needs daily, and the other half is obtained through foods such as fish, meat and milk. Approximately one-third of the creatine stored in the body is in its free form as creatine, while the rest is bound to phosphate and called "creatine phosphate" or "phosphocreatine." During high-intensity exercise, phosphocreatine is broken down, releasing energy that’s used to recreate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the main "fuel" source that drives many of the body’s biological processes, including muscle contraction. Creatine is believed to promote enhanced performance by replenishing levels of ATP. In addition to having positive effects on physical performance, creatine may also benefit mental performance. Like muscle cells, brain and nerve cells use ATP for energy. During times of high energy needs (physical or mental), creatine is makes ATP accessible. If creatine levels are increased, there is more energy available for the body to use. Produced since the mid-1990s by AlzChem, a German company. CreaPure® Creatine is a pure, high-quality creatine (monohydrate) that’s manufactured using a patented system involving the synthesis of carefully selected, non-animal-sourced raw materials through chemical reactions. It’s widely recognized as one of the most high-quality, purest forms of creatine on the market. Creapure® has been tested for safety in both classic toxicological tests and more than 50 clinical trials. People of all ages tested Creapure® in sports and non-sports applications over a period of more than 21 months without experiencing any side-effects. Because other creatine manufacturers use different manufacturing processes, and therefore have different purity profiles, only Creapure® has this proven safety profile. NSI® Creapure® Creatine delivers 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per one-scoop serving. Dissolve in water, juice, sports drinks, hot tea or other beverages and drink immediately for best results. NSI® Creapure® Creatine is better because it:. • Is tested for impurities using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). • Contains no animal ingredients and is safe for vegetarians.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

Dissolves easily, July 2, 2009
By Franky from Santa Barbara, CA

"I have been using creatine as a post-workout supplement for many years. The problem with some forms is that the powder clumps and doesn't dissolve without a huge amount of shaking, stirring, or blending. The NSI Creapure dissolves very quilcky, no clumping. Nice! And the price is great."

Just what I wanted and more!!!, February 16, 2009
By ectomorph

"I started seeing instant results, which I did not expect. I took 5 grams of it after my workouts and right when I woke up on non-workout days. I've only been using it a week too! No side effects. Here's what impressed me the most: I went a day without using it, and the next day as soon as I started lifting I got maximum energy to add on the extra weight or rep. This creatine stayed in my muscles until I needed it. This Creatine has helped me think straighter in school, keeps me pumped all day, increased my strength, added weight and muscle. I'm 15, and this stuff works!!!"

The only creatine you really need, August 16, 2008
By Rooke from Seattle

"I've also purchased the 2lb. I don't really take that much of this stuff so the 1lb makes more sense.
Creapure brand creatine is one of the only types you should take as its purity is completely guaranteed. There are a number of different labs that produce creatine and some have come under fire for producing impure products. A lot of the bad press that creatine got in the past came from people taking tainted products.
I don't take as much as is recommended and I don' bother with the loading phase as I don't feel it is necessary. I only take this stuff on lifting days and then only about 2-3 grams instead of the 5 grams four times a day that is recommended. I take no more than 5 grams in a day. It makes me agro if I take too much.
Works great for more energy (literally) for anaerobic activities and "cell volumization" and muscle hydration. I don't get lactic acid buildup when using this stuff.
