If you’re serious about weight training, then you probably know all about creatine already.

Ancient Strength provides a full serving of creatine monohydrate, the most effective form of creatine!

We didn’t just stop there because our formula also includes creatine pyruvate, which can cause a higher peak level of creatine and a potentially greater absorption and slower elimination rate. We also added creatine phosphate, which is a metabolite of creatine, a phophorylated form of creatine that provides a quickly usable reserve of high-energy phosphates in muscle tissue.

Highlights:

• Increased lean body mass
• Decrease fat mass
• Boost strength
• Elevate IGF-1 levels
• Aid in protein synthesis
• Boost endurance
• Increase power

For the past twenty years, creatine has been the benchmark for truly effective supplements, with some users reporting lean body mass gains of up to ten pounds in the first week of using it, plus added reps on nearly every exercise. Creatine is natural and occurs in many foods. Although, it is found in notably higher quantities in foods such as beef, herring, salmon, tuna, and other animal products. Creatine is also found and stored in creatine stores in the human body as phosphocreatine. (1)

Phosphocreatine is stored energy in the muscular tissues and aids in the provision of energy for muscular contractions. Phosphate produced from creatine is needed for Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecules, the primary fuel for enzymatic motors located within the muscle, are regenerated through phosphocreatine. (1)

During muscular contractions, ATP loses a phosphate molecule to create energy. The resulting compound is known as Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), reflective of the two phosphate molecules that remain. To produce another contraction, that ADP molecule must be turned back into ATP; creatine acts as a primary source of phosphate, thereby adding the necessary molecule to ADP, and converting it back to the ATP, that you need to finish your next rep. By providing your body with an excess of supplemental creatine (such as through Ancient Strength), the body can produce even more ATP molecules. This ensures that energy is available for continued muscle contractions. (1)

Supplementation with oral creatine augments the available amount of skeletal muscle creatine concentrations, leading to gains in lean body mass,…

….especially when used in conjunction with a weight training program designed to enhance power and strength (2). In addition, it has been shown to improve performance during intense exercise, especially during repeated bouts. (2)

Both body mass and lean body mass have been shown to increase at a substantially greater rate with the addition of supplemental creatine to the diet.

 Additionally, supplemental creatine contributed to significant improvements in the rate of power production during exercise. (3) It can also stimulate protein synthesis, leading to the addition of skeletal muscle. (4)But creatine doesn’t only boost strength, power, and lean body mass; it also increases endurance in strength in power athletes (5). This could be due to the fact that creatine doesn’t just increase the size of one type of muscle fiber, it increases them dramatically across the board, from your type II fibers (the power ones) to your type I fibers (the endurance ones).

Creatine has also been found to boost the highly anabolic hormone, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)!

IGF-1 is used by the human body for both muscle repair and growth processes. Parts of its effects are thought to be through stimulating the activity of satellite cells, which are used by the body to repair muscle fibers that have been damaged - as we see with intense weight training.  By simply taking creatine, you could experience a 78% percent increase in the amount of muscle IGF-1 that was produced. (6)

But the effects of creatine have been found to extend far beyond the weight room, and it has even been found to have both musculoskeletal and neuroprotective properties (7), and evidence from various studies have shown creatine to have numerous benefits for those suffering from various diseases Huntington's, Parkinson's, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and applied clinically in patients with Gyrate Atrophy, various neuromuscular disorders, McArdle's Disease, and congestive heart failure (1).

Creatine isn’t just great for athletes…

…looking to build muscle and strength while losing fat, it’s great for just about everyone! Most importantly, it’s safe (8), with almost nobody having any adverse or allergic reactions to it.

If you’re going to use creatine (what serious athlete isn’t?), then you need to use Ancient Strength. Top of Form
