Long used by athletes to improve strength and exercise performance,creatine is being recognized as more than a muscle building supplement.Creatine is present in the body. Skeletal muscle, heart, brain, andother tissues metabolize creatine and use it as a major energy storageform.19-27 Creatine boosts levels of ATP in the mitochondria, the cells energy powerhouse.28-30* While studies have shown that creatine may indeed help build muscleand strength in explosive short duration activities, other research hasdemonstrated the supplements role in improving lean muscle mass.19,20* Whey protein isolate can build lean muscle and prevent proteinbreakdown. It has also been shown to enhance the production ofglutathione, the bodys natural antioxidant. Glutathione detoxifiesharmful compounds in the body and boosts cellular immune function.*Whey protein has been shown to enhance glutathione levels, therebyimproving immune function.31-35* Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid that generates energy and helps to increase exercise endurance.36,37* As an immune booster, glutamine improves intestinal function by allowing better absorption of nutrients.38-42* Life Extensions Creatine Whey Glutamine Powder contains micronizedcreatine for optimal assimilation. The whey has gone through acrossflow microfiltration process, which allows the product to retainits important subfractions in natural proportions. |
