CNP Professional Creatine Range, 500g / 250g Creatine Monohydrate Powder, E2 Ethyl Ester 240 Capsules (500g Powder)

Product Information

Long-term studies suggest that there are no negative effects associated with supplementing with creatine in healthy individuals,’ adds Roberts. ‘While there have been side effects noted, this is largely dependent on an individual’s dosing strategy, pre-existing health conditions, and overall response to supplementing creatine.’ When assessing costs, take into account how many servings you will get, rather than just going by the cost per tub. The recommended dose is 3-5g (up to one teaspoon) of creatine after training, so 1kg will last many months. Creatine monohydrate is not only the cheapest and most common form of creatine, but it’s also the best choice. It’s been researched well, and no other formulation has been shown to be more beneficial in terms of improving performance.

As Protein contributes to a growth in and the maintenance of muscle mass, athletes and those wishing to increase muscle mass may find increasing dietary protein intake beneficial. Creatine is one of the most trusted and widely researched sports supplements in the world, adds Abi Roberts, sports nutritionist at Bulk.com. ‘Creatine supplements are popularly taken by bodybuilders, powerlifters, and athletes for providing immediate energy to the muscles.’ What are the benefits of creatine? Creatine is one of the most extensively studied supplements and has been shown to increase physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise,’ says Aitken. Muscle cramps: ‘In rare cases, creatine supplementation may cause muscle cramps or strains. Staying well-hydrated and ensuring proper electrolyte balance can help prevent these issues,’ says Aitken. Dextrose Monohydrate, Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk), Hydrolysed Whey Protein (Milk), Native Whey Protein (Milk), Flavouring, Colouring (Red Beetroot Extract), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Anti-Foam, Digezyme, Vitamin E, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)The essential amino acids themselves are those which cannot be synthesised by the body and therefore must be consumed through your diet. As the need to enhance recovery and performance goes hand in hand with increased exercise there is a spike in the demand for essential amino acids to fuel that recovery process. Although they can be acquired from food, there is a real opportunity to maximise intake and therefore recovery by using an EAA supplement, something athletes have been doing for years with great results. CNP Loaded EAA’s don’t just contain all 9 essential amino acids they have been formulated to be specifically high in Leucine (+3g Per Serving), Leucine is responsible for turning on the body’s recovery and muscle building process.

You can also get powders that contain both creatine and whey protein, or other key post-workout supplements such as BCAAs. These give your body all it needs to recover and rebuild after training. What type of creatine powder is the best? But it’s important to note that the loading phase is not mandatory for creatine supplementation, he says. ‘Some individuals may choose to skip the loading phase and start with the maintenance dosage directly. This approach will still lead to increased muscle creatine levels over time, albeit at a slower pace.’ CNP Whey has been reformulated to improve the taste and texture, to rival other great tasting whey proteins such as Efectiv Whey. CNP Recover is a powerful post-workout recovery formula. Post workout supplements are often misunderstood and therefore neglected but we can’t stress enough that the period following training is essential to recovery and the prevention of muscle breakdown. If you don’t take action during this critical window of opportunity (typically 30 minutes post-exercise) then you’ll miss a key time to improve and reach your goals.

Gastrointestinal issues: Some people may experience stomach discomfort, bloating, diarrhoea, or nausea when taking creatine. ‘These effects are typically mild and can be minimised by staying properly hydrated and splitting the dosage throughout the day,’ advises Aitken. CNP Loaded EAA’s are the perfect combination of a highly functional product and some of the best, thirst quenching sweet inspired flavours on the market. CNP's EAA’s contain all 9 of the essential amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Threonine, Methionine and Histidine) as part of a premium recovery blend which can be used pre / intra / post workout, or any other time of the day. Delving into the science further, Aitken explains how, in the body, creatine is converted into phosphocreatine. ‘Phosphocreatine acts as a rapidly available storage reservoir for energy in the muscles. During intense exercise, phosphocreatine is used to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides fuel for muscle contractions.’

Water retention: ‘Creatine can cause the body to retain water, leading to weight gain and a slightly bloated appearance. This is due to increased fluid uptake by muscles. However, weight gain is usually temporary and related to water, not fat,’ says Aitken. Roberts adds: ‘There is speculation around creatine affecting water retention, but this is often only under the condition of a “loading phase”, which usually resolves itself after a few weeks, and does not affect everyone who chooses to do a loading phase.’ Each serving provides 21g of Protein. BCAAs and L-Glutamine have been included for their positive effect on stimulating protein bioavailability.Along with the 5g of creatine monohydrate this powder contains, you’re also getting 29g of protein, which is a mix of pea, brown rice, pumpkin and flaxseed protein, along with quinoa flour. This ensures you’re getting a complete protein source that contains all the essential amino acids in the right amounts.
