Description: You have liquid creatine, creatine candy, creatine gum, creatine capsules, and even stomach-bloating effervescent creatine (Give this a try, I guarantee you'll only do it once!). With all these 'tricks' thrown at trying to market a 'different' creatine - little has actually improved upon the effects of creatine monohydrate.
'AST Sports Science 'Micronized Creatine' Delivers More Creatine to Your Muscles Faster!'
The problem is, companies are trying too hard to make their creatine different instead of developing a creatine that is actually better. In doing so, some are even selling outright fraudulent products. Where creatine is concerned, buyer should definitely beware! As you may or may not know, creatine monohydrate will not fully dissolve in liquid. That's why you always get that gritty sand at the bottom of the glass. Look at it this way, if it falls like sand to the bottom of your glass what does it do in your stomach? Maybe that explains why so many complain of stomach discomfort when using regular creatine monohydrate.
New 'Micronized' Creatine With AST's constant commitment to improve the effectiveness of sports supplementation we have developed a new creatine supplement that incorporates state-of-the-art particle micronizing technology (PMTTM). This technology sets a new standard for creatine monohydrate supplementation by actually producing creatine 'micro-particles' that are 20 times smaller than regular creatine powder. Micronized creatine has numerous advantages over regular creatine monohydrate.
Faster Absorption AST Micronized Creatine's smaller particle size means quicker digestion and faster utilization.
More Efficient 20 times more total surface area for greater uptake into the bloodstream.
Greater Purity Micronizing creatine produces a more pure creatine. By increasing the total processing steps and purification procedures, AST's Micronized Creatine yields a finished product substantially more pure. Test it. We challenge you.
Mixes Easier and Better AST's Micronized Creatine has 20 times more surface area. Greater service area means easier, faster and more complete mixing.
No Stomach Upset Regular creatine monohydrate sits in the gut longer. This causes discomfort to many users. AST's Micronized Creatine goes into solution better and leaves the gut quicker causing no stomach upset.
Better Results New Micronized Creatine offers 2000% more particle surface area for better utilization, better uptake, and faster results.
The Inside Scoop: Drink Plenty of Liquids! Creatine works by enhancing muscle cell hydration. It is very important to consume adequate fluids while taking creatine to see best results. A good rule of thumb is to drink an EXTRA 16 to 20 ounces of liquid for every 5 grams of creatine you take.
During your Loading Phase you should be drinking an EXTRA 64 to 80 ounces of liquid than you normally drink. During the maintenance phase you should drink an EXTRA 32 to 40 ounces.
Suggested Use: Mix one heaping teaspoon in 8 to 10 ounces of water or juice. Drink immediately. To maximize results, drink 8 to 10, 8-ounce glasses of water daily.
Creatine Loading Phase: Day 1 through Day 5: Take 1 heaping teaspoon 4 to 6 times daily.
Creatine Maintenance Phase: Day 6 forward: Take 1 heaping teaspoon twice daily.
Description: Micronized Creatine is a powerful muscle building supplement.

Description: DGC (Dextrorotatory Glucose Crystals) is a unique glucose crystal that supplies an unmatched fuel source for fast and efficient muscle energy. DGC requires no digestion prior to absorption into the bloodstream. This means an ultra-fast fuel supply for supporting quick and sustained muscle energy requirements and mental function.
Glucose fuels muscle action. Muscle gets the glucose it requires for energy from what is circulating in your bloodstream. There are only about 6 grams of circulating glucose. This lasts approximately 15 minutes. Once depleted, glucose is then supplied from storage in the liver.
DGC is perfect for pre-workout energy drinks and ideal for post-workout muscle recovery and growth.
The Inside Scoop: DGC gives your muscles the energy they need to perform with 100% effort and intensity.

Description: Numerous studies have shown that the amino acid GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid) promotes significant increases in plasma growth hormone levels. Results from a study at the University of Milan showed a 5.5 fold increase in plasma growth hormone levels 90 minutes after GABA administration. Quoted results from this study showed In all of the 19 subjects studied, compared with 18 controls, plasma growth hormone levels were significantly increased (above 5 mg/ml) by acute oral administration of 5 grams of GABA. GABA is an amino acid that acts as a neurotransmitter. Theres a high concentration of GABA in the hypothalamus region of the brain, which suggests that it plays a significant role in hypothalamic-pituitary function. This means that it assists in hormonal production throughout the body and can positively effect the level of growth hormone. GABA also has positive effects on the nervous system, may promote fat loss and assists the body's sleeping cycle.
The Inside Scoop: GABA is an effective way to increase growth hormone levels and AST makes a high-quality product.
Description: As more and more scientific studies are completed, the more glutamine's role in muscle growth becomes apparent. Glutamine is usually taken in powder form mixed into water or added to a protein shake or flavored drink. However, you don't always have time to mix a drink. Even if it takes you just 5 minutes, when you are busy and on the go those 5 minutes may be impossible to spare. And with the studies showing glutamine's positive impact on elevating growth hormone, you want to be able to take it with no fuse - easy and convenient.
