Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is a natural substance found in the body that plays a very
powerful role in energy metabolism. Oral supplementation of creatine
monohydrate has been shown to increase the resynthesis of ATP (andenosine
triphosphate) from ADP (andenosine diphosphate) during muscle
contractions. ATP is the molecule the muscle cells burn during muscle
contraction. When the energy is released from the ATP molecule it drops
off a phosphate, thus becoming ADP. Creatine combines with a phosphate
molecule forming a phosphocreatine molecule which delivers the phosphate
to the ADP molecule reforming ATP. This resynthesized ATP molecule is then
ready to be utilized for energy again. Because the body only stores an 8 -
12 second supply of ATP, it is very important to increase the creatine
pool and maximize the ATP-ADP phosphate shuttle. The result is more
explosive muscular contractions, increased stamina and endurance, greater
intensity and less muscular fatigue which delivers more muscle size and
strength.
Prolab Nutrition's creatine
monohydrate is produced in Germany in an ISO 9000 & 9001 certified
factory. An ISO certification is the highest award a laboratory or factory
can achieve. It surpasses the standards of OTC and even surpasses the
strict standards of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Creatine Monohydrate is
produced via a chemical synthesis route. The synthesis is done by reacting
sarcosine sodium salt with cyanamide under heated conditions. Sarcosine
sodium salt is a derivative of acetic acid. Cyanamide is an organic amide.
When the process is complete, the sodium salt is rinsed away and the
finished product is then redried. This critical step insures there is no
residual sodium common to incomplete processing. Further information on
specific processing conditions and equipment used in the manufacture of
creatine monohydrate is considered proprietary and the process patent
protected.
Prolabs finished product
then undergoes rigid testing for purity against a creatine monohydrate
standard. Through a process called High Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC) the creatine is tested for its level of purity. Creatine
monohydrate under this testing procedure will typically score as 99% pure
creatine monohydrate. This purity test is the only test the majority of
companies will conduct on their product.
Prolabs finished product is
further tested for impurities that would indicate product instability. The
results of instability are product degradation and breakdown. Breakdown
causes formation of impurities common to incomplete synthesis. Industrial
grade raw materials to start the creatine monohydrate processing will also
result in the formation and build-up of impurities with unknown, yet
potentially harmful toxilogical properties. Prolabs raw materials are
pharmaceutical/food grade only. This grade is screened for impurities
before processing begins.
Simply stated, processing
starts with the very best ingredients that yield the world's finest
creatine monohydrate product. All manufacturing takes place in a
state-of-the-art refinery through a patented process. Finished product is
not only tested for purity, we also test for impurities. These steps
insure that you are receiving the very best product on the market.
