Creatine is a natural component of the human body, 95% of it is concentrated in skeletal muscle. It is of extreme importance for the muscle function, because it helps (as a creatine phosphate) for re-synthesizing of adenosine triphosphate - ATP, which is a great source of energy during the training. It is an established fact that its intake for several weeks could result in 10% increase of the strength endurance.
Besides that, creatine helps for the muscle cell volumization and hydration and thus creates conditions for anabolic effect in it. Many foods contain creatine, but its quantity in them is not so high and by normal consumption they don't meet the needs of the athlete. Much creatine is found in the tender red meat – it reaches high levels in beef, as well as in some fish, like herring. Vegetarians can't get it from their food and must take it as a dietary supplement. The scientific researches show the intake of creatine monohydrate is most effective. Made in Bulgaria - Explode Nutrition Taurine (2-amino-ethanesulfonic acid) is a sulfur-containing amino acid, playing different roles in the human body. Its intake leads to decreased use of cysteine (another sulfur-containing amino acid) for its biosynthesis. From one side, taurine has insulin-like effects on amino acid transport across call membrane, on the other - it is involved in fatty acid metabolism, such as taurocholic acid – dissolving agent in bile acids. Taurine's structural similarity to GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is a mediator and is involved in the retention processes in the brain – is another of its effects, improving the physical condition. Glutamine is the amino acid with the strongest anabolic effect in the body. Its main function is to participate in detoxification (neutralization) of ammonia (hyperammonemia) in various tissues and most of all in the liver, by transamination (transfer of amino groups). From this point of view it could be seen as a depot for ammonia in the body, and namely this retention of amino nitrogen is characteristic for the muscle anabolism. Glutamine intake is connected with immune system strengthening of the body. L-glutamine is the physiologically active form in the body. CGT combines an effective 3:2:3 ratio of creatine to taurine to glutamine and that's why it has the strongest anabolic effect among the dietary supplements and legal substances. In addition, it has an effect on the nervous tension and enables more endurance and intensive training. All this makes it a unique substance to be used not only by bodybuilders, but also by people participating in other sports. CGT can be taken before, as well as after training, and the serving size is 5-10 g, depending on the desired result. It is not recommended to be taken in the evening, before going to bed, because taurine could keep you from falling asleep. |
