The Practical Creatine Guide

Merely following the instructions on the back of your creatine bottle, or taking the advice of some locker room know-it-all, will COST YOU substantial gains in muscle mass and strength as well as possibly do you harm!

If you are going to take this supplement right, you need a creatine guide.

Creatine is best known for its ability to increase muscle's immediate energy resources. However, each day new information is becoming available clearly indicating that the effects of creatine go far beyond merely increasing muscular energy reserves. In fact, creatine stimulates several cellular pathways that are intimately involved in muscle growth and development. Importantly, how to best orchestrate these independent processes to produce the most powerful anabolic effect is ultimately under your control!

Certain foods can greatly accentuate creatine’s anabolic effects. Nevertheless, knowing which foods best compliments creatine’s ergogenic effects is only the beginning. Just as important is the timing of a meal relative to a bout of exercise. Plus one needs to know the exact composition of the meal to make it most effective. Creatine: A practical guide provides several anabolic recipes and dosing protocols specifically designed to explode muscle growth.

Common dietary practices greatly influence one's response to creatine and that's why you need a creatine guide. Just as the right foods will enhance the effects of creatine, the wrong foods will totally undermine creatine's potential benefits. Creatine: A practical guide alerts you as to which common dietary practices should be avoided while supplementing.

Creatine has been shown in countless scientific studies to increase muscle mass, improve athletic performance and accelerate muscle recovery following strenuous exercise. Nevertheless, it's absolutely imperative that an athlete understands how to establish the optimal metabolic conditions to reap creatine's full range of benefits while avoiding the development of adverse side effects.

Unfortunately, this information IS NOT readily available to the layperson via normal channels. Foremost, the popular media (fitness websites, magazines and chat rooms) is flooded with huge amounts of well meaning, but completely wrong and possibly dangerous, advice about the 'correct' use of creatine. Secondly, reliable information on how to create a metabolic environment that best accentuates creatine’s benefits is simply not available to the masses. That is, until now…

More than a decade of scientific research has emphatically shown that creatine and muscle growth go hand in hand. Therefore, whether you're a serious athlete, or simply an individual who is eager to enhance your athletic performance, you’ve almost certainly played with the notion of supplementing your regular diet with creatine monohydrate. Sadly, most athletes who supplement are simply wasting their hard earned cash by not undertaking the appropriate measures to correctly optimize the effects of creatine, which also means they are falling short of their true physical potential!

IMPORTANT FACT:

The supplementing protocols that are often recommended by manufacturers,while bolstering their economic objectives, WILL NOT allow you to EXTRACT CREATINE'S FULL ANABOLIC PUNCH!

AT LAST, THIS INFORMATION IS NOW AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITHOUT ANY HITCHES OR ULTERIOR MOTIVES!

Set the Stage for Explosive Muscle Growth!

Until today, in spite of the fact that creatine has greatly grown in popularity, there remained a lack of accurate and reliable information for the layperson about this very important nutritional supplement. But now, based on years of experience in the scientific arena, renowned researcher and lecturer, Dr. Franco-Obregón, shares his insights in the field of sports supplementation with a new guide that reveals the truth about creatine and the many ways in which it can help an athlete achieve his or her true athletic potential-if taken correctly.

No More Wasted Money, Time or Efforts!

Amazingly, nearly one quarter (~25%) of all athletes who try creatine do not respond to supplementation!! Why? Plainly speaking, most ‘non-responders’ are simply not informed and hence are not aware of how to make creatine render its full range of benefits. One of the critical elements essential to making the most of creatine is that of establishing the optimal anabolic environment for muscle development. And, the first step towards setting the stage for muscle growth is knowing how to correctly combine creatine, nutrition and intelligent exercise strategies. With the right instruction and guidance, most non-responders (and potential creatine users) can easily learn to make the most of this important supplement.

Dispelling the Myths About Creatine.

The simple fact that creatine works, whereas most other legal nutritional supplements are mainly empty hype, has heightened the public's suspicion of it. Consequently, creatine is one of the most misunderstood nutritional supplements on the market. This is extremely unfortunate and largely unjustifiable.

While science has uncovered most of creatine's secrets, vast amounts of popular misinformation consistently confuse the issue of proper creatine use. More than likely if you're serious about your athletic performance, you may have considered using creatine, but weren't sure of its safety. With over two decades of in-depth research experience, Dr. Franco-Obregón has worked diligently to dispel the myths about creatine and now shares the underlying truths about this important nutritional supplement in an empowering new e-Guide entitled 'Creatine: A practical guide'.

Best of all, the entire guide is written so that even a layperson will quickly understand how to implement a straightforward supplementing strategy into their daily regimen that will allow them to safely reap creatine’s full benefits at the most affordable price. Plus, for the more scientifically minded, this practical guide also objectively analyzes the most recent scientific studies examining the effects of creatine supplementation on athletic performance and overall health. These studies are later clearly referenced and annotated for your own personal review.

Today, more and more professional and recreational athletes are exploring legitimate ways of enhancing their athletic performance and consequently have recently turned their attention to creatine. In truth, if used appropriately, this amazingly safe, legal and effective supplement can augment your athletic performance in ways that will astound you.
