Creatine Select Product Details:
It used to be that Creatine was considered a supplement no serious bodybuilder should do without. Yet for some, it has lost a bit of its "glamour". It's no surprise. The truth of the matter is that some of the heavily promoted creatine products just didn't deliver. In fact, some of them not only didn't help increase endurance and strength, but they caused an array of unpleasant side effects instead!
What happened as soon as the athletic community started buying into the creatine craze? Some companies started adding sugar (the labels called it pharmaceutical dextrose) to their creatine products to try and get a market edge. That's when the downhill slide in effectiveness started. Millions of marketing dollars were poured into campaigns to sell those "sugary sweet" creatine products, as well as the assorted hybrids that surfaced complete with the normal outrageous claims. Unsuspecting purchasers had high expectations... but what they got instead was bloated, sugar-induced, water-pulling, gastrointestinal distress. This is what caused many bodybuilders to become "fed up" with creatine. However, don't let greedy and silly attempts by some, fool you into thinking that creatine isn't effective. See, for over one-hundred years creatine has been studied, and quite extensively as it relates to muscle contraction, exercise, work and metabolism. There are volumes of research studies on the benefits of Creatine Monohydrate and phosphates individually but only a few studies where creatine and phosphates were combined. (Wallace et al, 1997 and Eckerson, 2001.) Those two studies revealed that subjects taking a creatine plus phosphate mixture out performed subjects taking creatine only by nearly a 300% ratio. They showed a significant increase in muscle power, (translates to more weight on the bar) and anaerobic work capacity, (i.e. more reps in the gym).
It's Creatine Monohydrate in combination with selected phosphates that makes the difference between disappointment and seeing real results. Research showed that creatine, (provided there is enough phosphate available to combine with it) will likely decrease fatigue, cause volume increasing effects in muscle cells through hydration, and may even increase the rate of satellite cell production and overall protein synthesis. In Supplements for Strength-Power Athletes (Antonio and Stout, 2002), the authors site a study in which subjects were given 5 grams of creatine plus 1 gram of phosphate, four times a day or 5 grams of creatine without phosphate, four times per day. The group that took the combination of creatine and phosphate increased anaerobic work capacity by 49%. That's more than three times greater than the creatine-only group."
Looking at the research, we knew that the fusion of creatine with phosphates would make a good supplement into a super synergistic supplement. We had our supplement lab find the correct ratio of creatine and the specific phosphates used in the research studies where creatine and phosphates were combined. They added some flavor and a small amount of an extremely high-grade maltodextrin, (we wouldn't allow just simple sugars, they used a five-chain saccharide, i.e. predominately a complex carb.)
- This research proven formula allows the maximum amounts of creatine to enter the muscle cells. - Superior results-the formula's select phosphates lower stomach acid levels that can destroy creatine. - You get total transport - the sodium /Potassium phosphate matrix rapidly shuttles creatine to muscle cells. - There's no ridiculous, unnecessary and unwanted sugar. - Fast results.
Beverly's owner, Roger Riedinger, decided to be the guinea pig; (his wife and co-owner Sandy would tell you he was just "hogging" the product). Nonetheless, for five days he loaded four servings per day (5 grams Creatine Monohydrate, 700mg Potassium phosphate and 300mg sodium phosphate). By the 3rd day, he was already noticing his rest periods were getting shorter and shorter between sets. Then after this "loading phase", the plan was to take just one scoop a day before training. Roger's lifts and reps kept going up.
The Beverly labs had created a new state of the art supplement we call Creatine Select Plus Phosphates -it worked and it worked fast! Remember, for creatine to be effective in the muscle cell it must combine with a phosphate. Adding phosphates allows your body to load and retain more creatine. In short you'll increase your strength and muscle mass. The presence of additional phosphates during exercise can improve your body's ability to regenerate ATP. More ATP results in more reps with less fatigue.
You'll derive the greatest possible benefit from Beverly's synergistic combination of phosphate and Creatine Monohydrate powder. Creatine Monohydrate is the form that most easily enters the blood stream, but for the muscle cell, to use it, a phosphate molecule must be attached. This is called phosphorylation. Your body can't always supply the phosphate it needs to Maximize the effect of your creatine dose. But, when you supplement with the Beverly combination of Creatine Monohydrate with phosphate, you can train harder, with greater intensity, and recover faster. Users of Beverly's Creatine have never reported the kinds of problems common to other creatine formulas, but they have reported being able to increase their lifts, get more reps, reduce rest between sets, and a rapid gain in muscle.
