Glaxon Electro-Creatine

To provide an easy-to-use twist on creatine supplementation, Glaxon's Electro-Creatine combines our Astrolyte™ Electrolyte Blend with the most tried-and-true form of creatine available - Creatine Monohydrate. In addition to improving your body's ability to make ATP as a phosphagen - creatine is also known for its unique ability to maintain higher levels of water in your muscle tissue.  In order to get the most out of your creatine, you should also supplement with electrolytes. ⁺

Why would I take GLAXON ELECTRO-CREATINE?

Look - we've all seen creatine products before, but did you know that electrolytes are crucial to the actual transporter that gets creatine into your bloodstream and into your muscles? You are taking positive steps to maintain overall hydration levels and replace mineral salts that are usually lost by perspiration (sweating) by adding electrolytes to your creatine. ⁺

How does this all work?

In order for creatine to access the transporter, sodium and chloride - two crucial electrolytes required for creatine to access its transporter - are required. The combination of electrolytes and creatine actually revolves around the creatine transporter SLC6A8 - one of the "solute carrier family" members. Thus, your creatine consumption will be more efficient if you provide these key electrolytes. ⁺

Creatine Monohydrate 

In order for creatine to form, three amino acids need to be combined - methionine, betaine, and arginine. These three amino acids each contribute a part to the formation of the creatine molecule. By transporting phosphate groups to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate), creatine helps form more ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) once it is formed.  Moreover, creatine is an osmolytic compound, which means it improves resistance to osmotic stress, meaning it helps muscle tissue retain water and increases strength and size. ⁺

Astrolyte™

Providing supplemental dosages of magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chloride that are essential for all cells in the body and for maintaining hydration levels, this new electrolyte blend from Glaxon is a new one. AstrolyteTM also features fructooligosaccharides (FOS) that can also support electrolyte absorption in the large intestine, while feeding beneficial gut flora selectively. ⁺

How much should I take?

Loading Phase: For 5-7 days, take 2 scoops (1 serving) at 4 intervals throughout the day mixed with water, juice, or your favorite beverage to reach full muscle phosphocreatine saturation. ⁺

Maintenance Phase: The maintenance phase is best taken after a workout, mixed with water, juice, or a beverage of choice. This regimen can reach full muscle phosphocreatine saturation after about 30 days. ⁺
