Power Athletes' CREATINE LOADING drink with the most effective ratio of
4:1:1 CARBOHYDRATE, PROTEIN and CREATINE

OPTIMUM CRATINE LOADING FOR PERFORMANCE AND LEAN MUSCLE MASS RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE RECOVERY SUPPLEMENT IS A 4:1 MIXTURE OF CARBOHYDRATE AND PROTEIN

Creatine monohydrate is the most effective non-hormonal supplement for

1. Increasing lean muscle mass
2. Improving athletic performance

Most effective in sports which involve repeated high intensity movement e.g. sprinting or wrestling; both team and individual sports.

1. Supported by over 200 studies in humans
2. Works by in creasing muscle ATP regeneration and muscle protein synthesis
3. Creatine is a natural product which is taken in with food and made in the body.

Muscle creatine levels can increase by supplementation in most people. Creatine cannot make you fat. It is safe and effective when used as directed by healthy individuals. Do not take if you are pregnant, nursing or unwell. Take with plenty of water. Do not use before or dung activity; use afterwards or on rest days. Suitable for vegetarians.

ALTHOUGH GLYCOGEN IS CARBOHYDRATE, RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE SUPPLEMENT IS A 4:1 MIXTURE OF CARBOHYDRATE AND PROTEIN

This mixture drives the uptake of creatine by the muscles, assisted by the hormone insulin in the blood.

The most important time to replenish your muscles is during the hour after exercise, so that you are fully fit for your next session. It is also the most effective time to absorb creatine. This replenishment is essential, whether you are an endurance athlete, power athlete, and rugby or football player.
