XL Creatine contains the purest form of creatine monohydrate, Creapure™. Creatine monohydrate is the most research supplement in the world with a whole host of studies backing its efficacy as an ergogenic aid. Creatine is hugely beneficial for those participating in strength and power training and sports as well as having possible benefits for those doing more endurance based training. Creatine has also been used in the clinical setting for its therapeutic effects on muscle wasting diseases. Strength and Power Creatine monohydrate has always been known as a beneficial supplement for repetitive explosive exercise. Loading with XL Creatine increases muscle stores of creatine which acts to enhance energy production and recovery of energy stores between bouts of exercise. Similarly, it volumises the cell, taking water into the muscle which has an anabolic effect thus aiding the growth of new tissue which will then aid in strength gains. To load with XL Creatine, take 4 servings split evenly throughout the day, ideally with meals. If you have used XL Synthesis on a particular day, you can count this as one of your servings. Endurance Used correctly, XL Creatine can also be useful for endurance based training. Particularly in phases where strength gain is one of your goals or more interval training is being done. Creatine monohydrate has also been shown to increase muscle glycogen stores which clearly could aid in exercise that depends on high carbohydrate stores. Loading with creatine may not be necessary for endurance based athletes and simply using a single serving after training for improved recovery could be beneficial. However, if you are already using XL Synthesis, this may not be necessary.
Muscle Gain XL Creatine is possibly the most effective supplement one can take when wishing to gain muscle. Creatine monohydrate volumises the cell, taking water into the muscle which has an anabolic effect, thus aiding the growth of new tissue. To load with XL Creatine, take 4 servings split evenly throughout the day, ideally with meals. On training days you should be using XL Synthesis, which counts as one of your servings of XL Creatine. With regards to cycling creatine there are many trains of thought. There has been no research showing that staying on creatine for any particular length of time causes detrimental effects. Excel Labs advises that you should cycle your creatine intake in line with your training. I.e. if you have a planned week off training, you go on holiday or you are ill you should use this as a time to have a break from XL Creatine. Fat Loss XL Creatine does not directly benefit fat loss however it is a useful adjunct to a fat loss programme, especially when your goals involve any kind of performance or aesthetics. XL Creatine is not only fantastic for muscle gain but will also help to maintain muscle when on a diet. Muscle loss is a very real issue when energy intake is reduced; as muscle is metabolically active, if you lose muscle, your metabolism will also slow. If fat/weight loss is a goal from a performance perspective, losing muscle is of course detrimental and therefore XL Creatine can be used to stop this.
