Advanced Muscle Efficiency Formula... Because SIZE Matters!

Bill Grant, Bodybuilding Legend, Mr. America and Mr. World introduces you to his New Advanced Muscle Efficiency Formula, Creatine Cocktail. Creatine Cocktail is a third generation nutrition product that's been rigorously tested in the real world: with hard-training athletes who seek added muscle size, strength, and power. This formula is based on the latest scientific research regarding the most efficient pathway for metabolic uptake and use of creatine.

Among other advantages, Creatine Cocktail consists of micronized creatine manufactured at Ferro Pfanstiehl Laboratories. This means that the creatine consists of tiny granules that prevent the problems common with other, less efficient products, such as gastrointestinal distress and muscle cramps. The added nutrients in this product not only ensure maximal cellular uptake of creatine, but also promote cellular hydration, considered the most potent anabolic cell signaling process.

"Not only is Bill Grant's Creatine Cocktail great tasting and easy to digest, it also gives you a great "pump" and can be used during contest preparation."

The carbohydrate content of Creatine Cocktail includes a two-tier system of medium and long-acting carbohydrate sources that prevents bloating common with other creatine products. Recent research shows that creatine uptake is maximized with a quick-acting protein source, explaining why this product includes a high-grade whey protein. The combination of whey protein and creatine is synergistic, allowing a user to gain the notable advantages of creatine without having to overload the body with simple or high glycemic index carbohydrates, consumption of which could lead to either added body fat or blood sugar problems in some people. Combining whey and creatine will also serve to promote quicker muscle recovery after exercise.

The whey component adds branched-chain amino acids and nutritional precursors to glutathione, a vital antioxidant compound in the body, especially in the liver. Added minerals provide a nutritional synergy with creatine to promote optimal muscular function during intense training.

"I've been using Creatine supplements for several years and as a competitive bodybuilder I have found it to be an invaluable tool in my training regimen. My success with Creatine led me to pursue formulations that included substances that would increase Creatine's uptake in muscle and its effectiveness. My experiments with many commercial brands, especially the mega-carbohydrate/high dextrose brands, proved disastrous, largely due to the fact that I spent more time on the toilet than in the weight room.

I was very impressed with your formulation. Creatine Cocktail contains L-glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in muscle, Taurine and Lipoic Acid, both of which help drive glucose, amino acids and Creatine into muscle. It's unique carbohydrate matrix helps keep my blood sugar levels stable, so I don't get the inevitable "crash" that I get from most creatine formulas. After several weeks on Creatine Cocktail, my strength and muscle mass increased noticeably. It is my recommendation that every serious trainee should give this awesome supplement a try!"

Creatine is an amino acid byproduct made in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. About 95% of creatine is stored in muscle as creatine phosphate. In this form, creatine acts as a backup for the continued synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the immediate energy source for muscular contraction. Research also shows that creatine supplies energy for muscle protein synthesis reactions and offers a muscle buffering action that decreases muscle fatigue during intense training. When used in a proper manner, creatine is a safe and efficient product.

What Is So Special About Creatine Cocktail?
Creatine cocktail offers a unique blend of synergistic ingredients designed to maximize the results available from creatine supplementation. In addition, the creatine and other components of the product are of the highest quality available. This high quality blend prevents the side effects often seen with other creatine products of lower quality. Such side effects include bloating and other gastrointestinal symptoms. As such, the smooth assimilation of Creatine Cocktail ensures consumer compliance. The product also tastes great.

Creatine Cocktail's combination of pharmaceutical grade creatine and whey protein, plus cell-volumizing nutrients, such as glutamine, alpha-lipoic acid, and taurine, assure an optimal anabolic and recovery response from intense training.

What Will Creatine Cocktail Do For Me?
Creatine Cocktail will favorably influence muscle protein synthesis and act as a buffer during exercise to prevent excessive acidity buildup in muscle that leads to fatigue. Creatine is so effective in maximizing muscle power that it is currently being investigated for use in treating diseases such as Muscular Dystrophy that are characterized by having extreme muscle weakness. It also has been shown to favorably effect neuromuscular disorders, such as Lou Gehrig Disease or ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

How Safe is Creatine?
Numerous studies, such as several recently presented at the 2000 meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine, attest to the complete safety of Creatine. Creatine doesn't promote any kind of kidney disease, muscle cramps, etc. It's important to ensure adequate fluid intake of at least two liters daily.

How Important Is Supplementation With Glutamine?
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid not only to bodybuilders but to anyone who is involved in any type of exercise program. Glutamine is important to maintain proper health. Documented clinical studies have shown that Glutamine will have a significant impact on maintaining a positive nitrogen balance which is essential to muscular development and recovery. Within a week of Glutamine supplementation, your muscles become visibly larger since you have an increase in the amount of water driven into the muscle cells similar to the effect that creatine gives. This effect is known as "cell volumization". One of the effects of Glutamine is that it helps the immune system by producing more white blood cells.

Will I Retain Water Taking Creatine?
There is no extra cellular water retention associated with Creatine. The only water retention involved occurs inside the cell, a process called "Cell Volumization". This process is linked to increased muscle protein synthesis, which means greater muscle size and strength. In anabolic states, muscle hydration or water retention always occurs, with the reverse occurring during catabolic conditions, i.e., cellular dehydration. To put it simply, while some people may gain some "water weight" during a creatine load phase, this isn't the bloating effect normally associated with water retention.

As A Women, Will I Get Big Muscles Taking Creatine?
No unless you go out of your way to do so, as in the case of the competitive female bodybuilders. Women lack the testosterone levels of men, so they have a limited capacity to add muscle size. Creatine, while promoting muscle efficiency in women as well as men, won't add excessive muscular bulk to women. Many famous athletes and models lift weights and use creatine, but still retain their femininity and don't have big muscles.

As A Senior Citizen Should I Take Supplements Such As Creatine?
Senior citizens may not eat enough vital nutrients to retain health. They don't absorb creatine as efficiently as younger people because of a relative decreased activity of the creatine transporter mechanism in muscle. By helping to increase muscular efficiency, Creatine may work in tandem with a sensible weight-training program to promote added strength and recovery, maintain full muscle function and prevent disability in senior citizens. Studies show that maintaining muscle strength helps to prevent a condition called "sarcopenia", which refers to excessive loss of muscle due to aging and disuse and that Creatine is also safe for this population, too. They would likely benefit from a concentrated creatine supplement.

Is Creatine Cocktail Diabetic Friendly?
Creatine is safe for diabetics, since it's basically just an amino acid byproduct that doesn't promote a huge insulin release like carbs. The fructose in Creatine Cocktail does not cause an immediate insulin release and has a low glycemic index. In addition, the alpha-lipoic acid content of the Creatine Cocktail is quite beneficial for diabetics, since it promotes glucose entry into muscle. Lipoic acid is used in Germany to treat diabetic nerve disease.

How Do I Take Creatine Cocktail?
Mix two scoops (47g) with 8-10 oz. of water. Creatine Cocktail is best used in either of two ways. The first involves a creatine load regime, in which the product is taken 4 times a day for the first 5 days. Take one serving (two scoops) in the morning, one hour before the workout, immediately after the workout, and just before bedtime. An alternative method is to simply take one serving (two scoops) each day for 30 days, which will also lead to a creatine loading effect in muscle. For best results, take one serving (two scoops) one hour before the workout and immediately after the workout. When using this product it's important to ensure adequate fluid intake of at least two liters daily. Once the loading process is completed, maximal levels of muscle creatine is maintained with two scoops of Creatine Cocktail daily.
