Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate is an advanced, highly bio-active form of creatine that increases cell volumization, anaerobic energy production and shortens recovery periods between workouts.
 
By chemically bonding creatine to the alpha-Ketoglutarate molecule, creatine alpha-ketoglutarate efficiently bypasses the gut and has the ability to enter the muscle cell directly giving you superior absorption and cell volumization. Unlike creatine monohydrate which can be converted into creatinine in the gut, creatine alpha-ketoglutarate is shuttled directly to the muscle cells. As a result, more creatine is able to enter the muscle cells creating a pro-anabolic environment by increasing ATP stores and cell volumization.

Because creatine alpha-ketoglutarate is much better absorbed by the body, it is required in less amounts than creatine monohydrate. Additionally, because less creatine alpha-ketoglutarate is required to achieve similar or better results than creatine monohydrate there are less digestive problems such as bloating and less water retention outside the muscle cells. Enzymes that shuttle creatine to the muscle cells are always working efficiently because they are not saturated with extreme amounts of creatine monohydrate. Cycling off creatine alpha-ketoglutarate is not required. So, rather than having bloated or puffy looking muscle from the extra-cellular water retention that creatine monohydrate causes, users of creatine alpha-ketoglutarate will have larger, harder and more defined muscles.

Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate doesn't cause transporter downgrade:
Creatine monohydrate requires a creatine transporter protein for its uptake into muscle cells. Some research has shown that chronic supplementation with regular creatine can cause creatine transporter downgrade. This means creatine cannot efficiently be taken up by the muscle cell. Creatine transporter downgrade is a non-issue with Creatine-AKG because it uses alpha-ketoglutarate as a transporter.

Works for creatine "Non Responders":
A portion of the population finds that they get little or no results from creatine and have been categorized as creatine non-responders. If you are a creatine non-responder than Creatine-AKG is a great option for you. The fact is, you can't experience the incredible effects of creatine unless your muscular creatine concentrations reach optimal levels. Creatine-AKG maximizes creatine concentration in the muscle by taking advantage of AKG as a transporter of creatine.

The best creatine in the world:  NutraBio.com creatine is manufactured under the strictest pharmaceutical standards producing the highest quality and purest creatine available anywhere. Unlike many inferior creatine sources flooding the market, our creatine undergoes state of the art HPLC analysis to insure zero tolerance for impurities and by-products. Our creatine is produced through a temperature and humidity controlled process, using a double pass, reverse osmosis high purity water system. This is important because the production of creatine is water intensive, so impure water will yield impure creatine. Our pharmaceutical ultra-fine micronized creatine is the purest, contaminant free creatine in the world. It is laboratory-tested and assayed to ensure what you are getting is 100% pure.

How does creatine work?  Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and popular sports supplements today. It has become a must for athletes wanting to increase workout intensity while delaying the onset of fatigue. Research has shown that supplementing with creatine can boost muscle size, strength and endurance, improve athletic performance, and speed muscle recovery. Saturating your muscles with creatine improves your body's ability to quickly replenish and recycle ATP, which increases muscle energy and delays muscle fatigue.

Studies show that when athletes supplement with creatine while weight training, they can quickly gain lean body mass and strength - sometimes within a week.  A study conducted by the University of Memphis divided 63 athletes into three groups. The groups were given either a protein and carbohydrate supplement with creatine monohydrate, a protein and carbohydrate supplement without creatine monohydrate, or a carbohydrate placebo. In one month, the athletes taking creatine monohydrate gained 5-7 pounds of lean mass which far exceeded the two groups not taking creatine.

Muscle cells generate mechanical work from an energy liberating chemical reaction -- ATP is split into ADP and P (phosphate). ATP can be used by muscle cells very quickly, but there is only an extremely limited supply -- usually only enough for a few seconds of high intensity work. When the ATP is gone, work stops. Fortunately, the body has several ways to convert ADP back to ATP. The fastest method is to move the phosphate group off of phosphocreatine and onto ADP. This yields ATP -- which is immediately available for muscular work -- and creatine. There is enough phosphocreatine to keep ATP levels up for several more seconds. So at this point we've moved from 2 - 3 seconds of all-out work (ATP) to almost 10 seconds (ATP + creatine).

The body can recharge creatine back to phosphocreatine, but this takes time (approximately 30-60 seconds). This ATP + creatine system makes up the fastest component of the anaerobic system, and is most used by power athletes. A good example is trench warfare in football (i.e., 6 seconds of all out force, followed by 45 seconds of standing around).
