Its not how much creatine you take... It's how much you absorb that counts.
Your muscle cells have a transport system, called the Creatine Transporter that regulates how much creatine gets into your cells. This transporter acts like a gate, opening and closing to allow creatine into your muscles. Your muscle cells are designed to absorb 1.25g of creatine every 2½ hours. This is a natural amount for your body to absorb in one meal. For example, an 8oz steak has about 1g of creatine.
If a dose of ten or even five grams is not the answer, then what is?
Instead of a single mega-dose you should feed your muscles a small but steady
stream of creatine all day long. Dr. Myers recommends a dose of 1.5g of creatine,
taken four times throughout the day.
Instead of jamming the Creatine Transporter and shutting down absorption, a smaller dose will get transported into your muscle. The above graph illustrates how this dose of creatine will get into your muscles, whereas a large dose of creatine powder is wasted.
This is the exact dose included in the Creatine Power Tabs.
The second key for superior absorption is to use a creatine with an amino acid and carbohydrate blend.
Power Tabs contain a blend of 4500mg of special carbohydrates to trigger the
release of the hormone insulin. Insulin greases the hinges of the Creatine Transporter
“gate”. This allows creatine to more easily get into your muscles.
Some creatine products load you with 70g of gut-busting sugar. That’s
equivalent to 19 teaspoons of table sugar! Power Tabs give you just enough to
boost absorption but not enough to be stored as fat.
Dr. Myers also included a proprietary blend of 18 peptide-bonded amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks for Creatine Transporters. Your body uses these amino acids, to not only build Creatine Transporters, but to help them function more effectively, drive more creatine into your muscles, and dramatically boost your results. Plain creatine powder or capsules do not boost your insulin and doesn’t give you any additional amino acids.
