Ultralife’s Performance Creatine formula incorporates proven science & practical experience of what it takes to create peak performance & fuel high intensity training. Supplementation with Creatine increases & saturates the skeletal muscles & ensures there are adequate stores of Creatine, thereby helping to enhance athletic performance & build lean muscle mass. Scientific studies have shown that the most profound results with Creatine supplementation occur with short, intense bouts of exercise, rather than prolonged, endurance types of activity. Creatine is a nitrogen-based substance that is consumed in foods as a normal part of the diet, mainly in meat, poultry & fish. It is also synthesised in the body from three amino acids: arginine, glycine & methionine, principally via the kidneys & liver. From these organs, Creatine is transported in the bloodstream to muscle stores, 95% of which are in skeletal muscle, where it combines with phosphates to form phosphocreatine, or Creatine phosphate. Creatine phosphate, in turn, serves as the storage form of adenosine triphospate (ATP), the muscle’s high-energy phosphate fuel necessary for intense muscle contraction. About 1.5 – 2% of the body’s Creatine pool is converted to the metabolite creatinine every day.
