Beverly International Creatine Select Product Information
What: CREATINE SELECT is a
scientifically advanced formulation combining the most studied,
bioavailable and proven form of creatine in the world reinforced by
ß-alanine, electrolyte-bound phosphates and cinnamon bark extract.
Each ingredient in new CREATINE SELECT
has been tested and reviewed for purity and carefully balanced for
maximum pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic impact. Finally, Beverly’s
R&D scientists left no stone unturned in making CREATINE SELECT the
very best tasting formula of its kind!
Who: CREATINE SELECT
is intended for use by men and women who works out with weights
(resistance exercise) in an effort improve their physique; or who wishes
to improve their performance in any other kind of high-intensity
exercise such as mixed martial arts, sprinting, interval training, etc.
Why: CREATINE SELECT
will allow you to train harder with greater intensity and recover
faster using the most studied, bioavailable (near 100%) and proven form
of creatine in the world bolstered by ß-alanine, electrolyte-bound
phosphates and cinnamon bark extract..
New and stronger CREATINE SELECT
supports the fastest possible improvements in the appearance and
performance of your physique by tackling the principal causes of
premature muscle fatigue during high-intensity exercise. These causes
most commonly result in a decline in muscle force, shortening velocity
and power, all of which CREATINE SELECT helps delay.
New CREATINE SELECT contains ingredients that published scientific studies suggest may safely promote (where (I) = “increase” and (D) = “decrease”):
- (I)plasma creatine (>15-fold)
- (I)muscle creatine and phosphocreatine (up to 40%)
- (I)muscle carnosine (up to 40%)
- (I)plasma and erythrocyte phosphate
- (I)mitochondrial function
- (I)ATP resynthesis
- (I)delay of muscle failure
- (D)sensations of fatigue
- (I)muscle force
- (I)muscle shortening velocity
- (I)muscle mean and peak power
- (I)anaerobic work capacity (up to 3x more than with creatine alone)
- (I)total lifting volume (>25%)
- (I)lifting repetitions (>20%)
- (I)lean body mass (1-2 lb)
- (I)muscle cross-sectional area (size) (within 6 days)
- (D)fat mass (body fat) (within 6 days)
- (I)maximal oxygen uptake
- (I)muscle cell hydration
- (I)insulin sensitivity (immediate effects)
- (I)glucose disposal
- (I)blood glucose control
- (I)antioxidant protection
- (I)cognitive function
- (I)positive mood (anti-depressive action)
Loading Phase:
You will get faster results from New CREATINE SELECT if you start with a
loading phase: mix one scoop in 4-6 oz of water and consume 4 times
daily (with meals) for the first 5 days. (If over 185 lbs take 5
servings per day for 5 days.)
Maintenance Phase: On training days take 1-2 servings twenty minutes before training. On non training days take one serving with your first meal.
Let's face it. There are enough training and nutrition theories
to fill a complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica's. But realms of
muscle building philosophy really come down to just one thing. You must
overload your muscles by progressive exercise in order to grow.
Milo of Croton is credited with this discovery.
Milo lifted and carried an infant calf each day from one end of his
pasture to the other. As the calf grew so did Milo's strength and muscle
size. By the time the calf was a full-grown bull Milo was the biggest
and strongest guy in the land. Fact or fiction? Who knows? What's
important is Milo set the stage for progressive weight training as we
know it today. To get bigger and stronger you must progressively add
weight to the bar. It's really that simple. At first, anyway. Then
progress halts. You might add weight to the bar but your reps drop.
Maybe if you rest a little longer between sets you can get the reps...
It happens to all of us. We reach a plateau.
Muscle and strength gains stop. I'm in the same boat as you. I've been
training since I was fourteen. What I've learned about training and
nutrition in the forty plus years since could fill a book. But
progressive training still comes down to just three variables increase
the weight on the bar, increase the number of reps without decreasing
the weight, or rest less between sets. If you progress in any of these
three variables, muscle gains will follow given proper nutrition.
Nutrition wasn't my problem.
After all I own Beverly International. We make the highest quality
products in the industry and I have access to all of them. My problem is
sticking to my diet and supplement schedule while a million and one
things pull me every which way. I need something easy. Something to help
me make strength gains and something to help me recover faster between
sets so I can reduce my training time without decreasing volume or
intensity. You've got to remember I was already taking high tech Beverly
formulas. My nutrition was kind of maxed out by now. So what else was
left for me to do?
I'd been looking at various creatine formulas
out there and I was utterly unimpressed. Some of the best selling
products out there have nearly ten times as much sugar as actual
creatine. Sure it will spike your insulin. So will cotton candy. Sugar
makes you fat! Period. There is no way Beverly's going to put all that
sugar into a creatine "transport" system. Next I looked at insulin
support nutrients. I was still unconvinced. Why pay for what you don't
need.
Then one day it hit me... Creatine Phosphate, Duh!
Sure, I knew the creatine phosphate molecule was too large to be
absorbed and that's why we use pure 100% pharmacological grade Creatine
Monohydrate at Beverly. But, it didn't dawn on me until now that we
could combine select creatine monohydrate with selected phosphates in
the proper ratio to achieve a product that would increase strength,
endurance and muscle size.
Not Creatine Phosphate But... Creatine Monohydrate PLUS Phosphates. Now it was time to do the research.
Here's what I found: Hundreds of research studies on the benefits of
creatine monohydrate and phosphates individually and two very
significant studies where creatine and phosphates were combined. The
creatine plus phosphate group had a significant increase in muscle
power. This translates to more weight on the bar. (Wallace et al, 1997.)
The combination of creatine plus phosphates out performed the creatine
only group by nearly 300% in aerobic work capacity, i.e. more reps in
the gym with the same weight. (Eckerson, 2001.)
So I had our lab find the correct ratio of creatine
and the specific phosphates used in the research. Then, without me even
knowing they added an excellent orange flavor and a small amount of an
extremely high-grade maltodextrin. (They know that I don't like simple
sugar so they used a predominantly five-chain saccharide which is
classified as a complex carb.) I received sample A and sample B. The
first thing we did was conduct a taste test. The lab used the same
research proven creatine to phosphate ratio but varied only the
flavoring ingredients. Sample B won hands down. So that was what we
decided to use in our field study.
Then, I decided to "hog" the product.
For five days I loaded sample B? servings per day. A serving is one 12g
scoop. And the scoop actually reaches the bottom of the jar. By the
third day I was already noticing my rest periods were getting shorter
and shorter between sets. Then after the loading phase I took just one
scoop (sometimes two) before training. My weights and reps kept going
up. Now I've used creatine before and I certainly have been training
long enough to know when something is out of the ordinary. Here I am,
fifty-five years old and getting stronger. What's up with that?
