Solgar Enhanced Creatine Complex
Solgar Enhanced Creatine Complex
The body uses both aerobic and anaerobic systems for creating energy. The Aerobic system applies fuel for sustained energy expenditure, whilst the anaerobic system powers short bursts of energy output, like sprinting and weight lifting.
Creatine is a natural compound that is converted by the body into creatine phosphate and used anaerobically for brief bursts of energy. When the bond between creatine and the phosphate is broken, energy is released to power muscles. Over 40 clinical trials have found that creatine is supportive in short-duration high-intensity athletic performance. In addition to creatine, Solgars Enhanced Creatine Complex also features L-Glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in muscle pools, to aid in muscle recovery; Siberian Ginseng, the classic adaptogenic herb, to help the body adapt to the stress of exercise; and potassium and magnesium, both crucial for energy synthesis that may become depleted during intense workouts.

CoQ-10 is an antioxidant and coenzyme used by cellular mitrochondria to produce ATP - the bodys primary energy currency. Although it is found in small amounts in a variety of foods, the vast majority required for cellular energy production is made by the body.
