New Research on Creatine by John Vance
|
Creatine, is a wonderful product with a long history of research and documented results to prove its worth. In fact, creatine is the most popular sports supplement in the world. So, you could imagine my surprise to discover recent research concerning several bad effects of creatine supplementation upon the body. This research points to the fact that the body is a poor utilizer of supplemental creatine in the diet. In fact, creatine is quickly broken down into a by-product that is toxic to our birds, this toxic bi-product is called Creatinine. How fast is the breakdown? Less than five minutes. That is right in less than five minutes, over 90% of supplemental creatine (after it has been diluted in fluid or enters the stomach via ingestion) will break down into by-products that are toxic to our birds. This means that in order to get 1/2 gram of creatine built up through supplementation, your birds must consume 5 grams of creatine. This also means that the body must flush out approximately 4.5 grams of toxic by-products, which greatly increases the stress on the liver, kidneys, pancreas and other internal organs. Now for the good news: Our creatine ingredient* is manufactured through a patented process that protects the creatine (at a microscopic level) so that there is 100% utilization of this supplement by the body. Do you know what this means? Fanciers no longer need to load up your birds for several weeks, with inferior cretatine products, in order to build up creatine reserves in their birds, for the endurance racing we demand of our birds during the race season. With Super Creatine Plus, you are eliminating the toxic waster associated with Creatine Usage and the side effects that stress the bird's liver and other internal organs with massive amounts (95%) of the creatine breakdown toxin, creatinine. Our product does not convert to creatinine so your birds won't experience the toxic side effects associated with other creatine products on the market. Since it does not break down into creatinine, it is available immediately so no loading is required in preparing your birds for the races. Also, our product, Super Creatine Plus, helps to neutralize lactic acid build up so the birds can continue to race over longer periods of time at a higher level of performance! After a long period of negotiations, we were able to secure a license to the patent protected creatine source we use in Super Creatine Plus (Kre-Alkalyn). To our knowledge, we are the only animal product licensee in the world for this ingredient. However, we did not stop there, we then licensed with another manufacturer so that we could include their proprietary ingredients to enhance effect of our creatine product. Just take a look at the active ingredients list of our Super Creatine Plus product manufactured specifically for the needs of racing pigeonsActive Ingredients: Kre-Alkalyn, Glutamine AKG, BCAA AKG blend (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine), Taurine AKG, Tyrosine AKG, Citrulline malate, Citrulline AKG, Kreb’s Cycle Complex, Gingko biloba, Ginseng root, Caffeine, Choline bitartrate, Pantothenic acid, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Inositol, Para-aminobenzoic acid, Sodium, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vinpocetine, Vanadyl sulfate, Folic acid, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Most human athletes will tell you that the downside of creatine supplimentation is it diuretic effect. In order for the body to remove the toxic by-product waste associated with normal creatine supplimentation, the body must flush the system with water in order to carry the creatine by-products out of the system through the liver and kidneys and then finally move the waste to the intestinal lining where fluids move it out of the body. Most athletes will tell you this is a big problem, but with Super Creatine Plus, the problem is solved and the full benefits of creatine supplimentation can be enjoyed by our birds without stresses on the internal organs and the digestive tract. You might still be wondering if creatine is really good for our birds and increases their ability to sustain muscle function during a race. The answer is yes, before, during and after the race the beneficial effects from creatine are producing results. Creatine is stored in the body as creatine phosphate and creatine phosphate is broken down during exertion to aid the primary energy source for the muscles - adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is broken down for cell usage to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) supplying the energy for muscle contraction and usable phosphate. This usable phosphate is found in substantially higher concentrations in top marathon racers when compared to those who merely finish in the pack. Creatine phosphate is not the only source of phosphates available to the body, but it is the preferred and most efficient conversion process for muscle delivery during athletic events. Other phosphate delivery systems often involve cannibalizing the bone structure and organs which is one reason for slow recovery after an event. Kre-Alkalyn is patent product (Patent# 6,399,661) registered to Bioceutical Research & Development Laboratory (BR&D).
