How does
Creatine MagnaPower work?
Creatine
MagnaPower® also known as magnesium creatine chelate is a fully-reacted magnesium and creatine chelate. Magnesium is
needed to drive the conversion of creatine into ATP. Creatine MagnaPower®
will deliver 12% more free creatine to the body than a 5 gram serving of
creatine monohydrate. It is a stable molecule and will not convert to
creatinine in stomach acid.
Creatine
MagnaPower (magnesium creatine chelate) is a patented form of creatine that provides a highly bio-available source of creatine and magnesium which can help prevent
cyclization of creatine in the gut and improve creatine absorption. This
powerful form of creatine combines the forces of magnesium and creatine into
a single synergistic and patented molecule - magnesium creatine chelate. The
formation of a chelate of creatine with magnesium using Albion Laboratories'
patented technology can protect the creatine from destruction in the
digestive tract and make higher quantities of the physiologically active
form of creatine available to the muscle cells.
Creatine
plays a vital role in energy production by recycling ATP (Adenosine
Triphosphate). ATP is the source of energy for all muscle cells and is
required for all cellular functions including muscle contraction, DNA
synthesis and protein synthesis. The ATP recycling function of creatine does
not occur without magnesium because magnesium is the mineral cofactor
required for the enzyme which converts creatine into ATP. In fact, magnesium
actually stabilizes ATP (energy) in the body. By combining magnesium and
creatine into the same molecule, both of these nutrients are provided to the
cell to work in the energy producing pathways.
Magnesium creatine chelate has been shown through
research to be more effective then creatine monohydrate in enhancing lean
muscle mass, increasing strength and power, and supporting energy levels. Creatine has been well-researched
and numerous scientific studies have documented its benefits to performance
and energy metabolism. When combined with proper exercise, this new patented
form of creatine can be even more effective at increasing strength, speed
and power.
Creatine MagnaPower provides more active creatine to the bloodstream for subsequent incorporation
into the cells of the muscle. Chelate provides magnesium, which is involved in more energy producing systems
than creatine, plus creatine requires magnesium for its energy producing cycle.
High doses of creatine are not required, since the chelate is not susceptible to
acidic cyclization. Gastric disturbances are eliminated since only doses approximately 20% of what
would be needed with creatine monohydrate are required.
Sugar dosing is not required to effect efficient absorption, since insulin
spiking it is not involved in its absorption. Lipo-genesis (fat generation) is not stimulated, since insulin spiking is
completely unnecessary. The body can remain in a glucagon dependant mode, resulting in fat flowing away
from adipose tissue for use as a source of energy with the result being an
increase in lean body mass ratio.
Magnesium Creatine chelate has been shown through research to be more effective
then creatine monohydrate in enhancing lean muscle mass, increasing strength and
power, and supporting energy levels. Creatine has been well-researched and
numerous scientific studies have documented its benefits to performance and
energy metabolism. When combined with proper exercise, this new patented form of
creatine can be even more effective at increasing strength, speed and power.
Research shows superior results from Creatine MagnaPower over creatine
monohydrate:
Albion Laboratories has
developed an exclusive improved form of creatine. Using Albion's patented
mineral chelate technology, Albion's R & D team developed a true magnesium
creatine chelate, from magnesium and creatine. It is believed that by making a
true chelate of this form, the benefits of both magnesium and creatine will be
magnified due to the better absorption and utilization characteristics of a
nutritionally functional chelate.
In the stomach, a great deal of
creatine can be transformed irreversibly into creatinine, when exposed to the
stomach's acidic conditions. Once creatinine is formed, it is no longer of any
physiological benefit. The formation of a chelate of creatine with magnesium
using patented Albion technology, can protect the creatine from this cyclization
and make higher quantities of the physiologically active form of creatine available to
the metabolic activities of the muscle cells and yield a higher energy status.
Obviously, the magnesium creatine chelate will also serve to provide effective
quantities of bio-available magnesium, which along with its many other effects,
will work intensely along with creatine to increase the muscle's ability to generate and recycle energy in the form of ATP.
Data from a recently conducted
study shows that patented Magnesium Creatine Chelate out performs creatine
monohydrate, as well as other combination regimens of magnesium and creatine
monohydrates in a big way.
The Magnesium Creatine Chelate
supplemented group out performed the creatine monohydrate and the magnesium plus
creatine monohydrate groups by a wide margin on the initial endurance swim. The
Magnesium Creatine Chelate group widened its margin of superiority on the second
endurance swim. It is apparent that Albion's Magnesium Creatine Chelate does a
tremendous job in enhancing the body's ability to generate and regenerate the
ATP needed to provide the energy needed for muscular performance.
Research shows Albion's new
Magnesium Creatine Chelate clearly outperformed creatine, as well as
combinations of creatine with a couple of different forms of magnesium. Given
the roles that magnesium and creatine play in the generation of energy needed
for muscular performance.
