Why creatine monohydrate?
Creatine Monohydrate is by far the most scientifically researched performance enhancing and muscle building supplement you will find on the market. Since its launch over 30 years ago, hundreds, if not thousands, of scientific studies have been conducted that prove beyond doubt the anabolic muscle-building, anaerobic performance and strength-enhancing effects of creatine (1, 2, 3).
Creatine monohydrate can significantly increase strength and performance during short-term high-intensity efforts such as sprints or a training set with weights. In addition, creatine has pronounced anabolic (muscle-building) effects based on several independent physiological pathways.
And since creatine is a naturally occurring substance in food that can be produced by the human body to a certain extent, creatine monohydrate is a completely safe supplement, the safety of which has been confirmed by numerous scientific studies, even with long-term use (5).
What are the benefits of Nano Pure Creatine for athletes and bodybuilders?
Your body needs creatine for all muscle functions, but also for the functioning of the brain and nervous system. This creatine is stored in your muscles in the form of creatine phosphate. This creatine phosphate, also known as phosphocreatine, is needed to quickly produce new ATP from ADP during physical exertion, which is the energy supplier for all muscle contractions. If the ATP reserves in the exercised muscle run low, the strength and contractility of the muscle decrease and ultimately lead to muscle failure.
Higher concentrations of creatine phosphate, which can be achieved by supplementing with Nano Pure Creatine, mean that more ATP can be produced as an energy supplier during a training set and the onset of muscle exhaustion is significantly delayed. In other words, Nano Pure Creatine will help you perform more repetitions with a given weight during each training set, which ultimately results in a stronger stimulus for muscle growth.
However, creatine not only increases muscle endurance during short bursts of intense effort, but can also significantly increase muscle strength. In scientific studies, strength increases in the range of 10 to 20 percent have been observed.
In addition, supplementation with Nano Pure Creatine can reduce the cell damage that occurs during training, thereby accelerating your regeneration and enabling a higher training volume and more frequent training sessions.
Strength athletes and bodybuilders will be interested to know that Nano Pure Creatine has pronounced anabolic effects and accelerates muscle growth via a whole range of different pathways. In addition to the indirect muscle-building properties already mentioned, creatine also has the ability to significantly increase muscle protein synthesis. But that is by no means all. Scientific studies have shown that creatine can significantly increase the training-induced increase in satellite cells and myonuclei, which results in increased muscle fiber growth (6). Recent studies even suggest that creatine could be an effective myostatin inhibitor (4).
Last but not least, the increase in muscle cell hydration and muscle cell volume caused by creatine also contributes to an increase in strength through better leverage ratios, as well as to a stimulation of muscle growth, since an increased muscle cell volume promotes muscle protein synthesis and a stretching of the fascia of the muscles has proven anabolic effects that promote muscle growth.
What are the advantages of creatine monohydrate compared to other forms of creatine?
Creatine monohydrate is the oldest form of creatine available as a supplement and almost all studies that have shown the performance-enhancing and health benefits of creatine have been carried out with creatine monohydrate. Although there are a number of new forms of creatine available today that are supposed to have numerous advantages over creatine monohydrate, there are very few scientific studies that have been carried out with these forms of creatine. It is not for nothing that some of these forms of creatine have already disappeared from the market, as they were not convincing in terms of their effect in practice.
With creatine monohydrate you can be sure that it has a scientifically proven effect. In addition, creatine monohydrate has the highest percentage of pure creatine per gram of all forms of creatine, and since only this creatine percentage counts after absorption into the body, creatine monohydrate is the most economical form of creatine. Claims that other forms of creatine have a significantly higher bioavailability than creatine monohydrate can be safely disregarded, as the bioavailability of creatine monohydrate is already over 95%. Any further improvement is therefore not worth mentioning.
Why is Nano Pure Creatine superior to other creatine products?
Unlike almost all other creatine monohydrate products, the creatine monohydrate contained in Nano Pure Creatine is in microfine ground form and is therefore also known as micronized creatine monohydrate. This dosage form is characterized by a much smaller particle size of the powder, which enables better and faster solubility in liquid. This is a particular advantage with creatine monohydrate, as ordinary coarser creatine monohydrate does not dissolve well in water.
This better solubility saves you an unpleasant sediment when mixing the product with water and prevents an unpleasant "sandy" consistency of the finished mixture. But this is only a side issue. The real advantage of micronized creatine monohydrate is its much higher bioavailability, which results in faster and better absorption by the body. In other words, this means that the body absorbs more creatine monohydrate more quickly, resulting in a faster onset of action and a stronger effect. Faster absorption is particularly advantageous with creatine monohydrate, as creatine monohydrate can break down into ineffective creatinine in the acidic environment of the stomach if it remains in the stomach for too long. The faster creatine monohydrate can be absorbed, the more intact creatine is available to your body.
