Creatine is a substance found naturally within the human body proven to enhance strength and muscle gain. In order for Creatine to enhance performance, it must be absorbed into the blood stream then taken into the skeletal muscle. Myocytin has been formulated to maximise the amount of Creatine taken into the muscle.
Functions
In order for Creatine to enhance performance, it must be absorbed into the blood stream then taken into the skeletal muscle. Myocytin has been formulated to maximise the amount of Creatine taken into the muscle. Previous research has shown that when standard Creatine is ingested only a small amount of Creatine is retained and a large percentage is eliminated from the body via the urine (Burke and co-workers, 2001). Myocytin is designed to increase blood Creatine concentrations while simultaneously inducing the release of insulin from the pancreas. This increase in blood insulin facilitates the entry of Creatine into the muscle and minimises the loss of Creatine in the urine. Therefore Myocytin is designed to be a more efficient and effective method of taking Creatine
Due to its Creatine content Myocytin increases the intracellular water or the water within the muscle cell. This basically causes the muscle cell to swell, which is commonly referred to as a cell volumising effect. The good news is that research has suggested that the swelling of a cell may be a signal to stimulate anabolic effects or protein synthesis (Haussinger and co-workers, 1993). Therefore although a portion of the initial weight gain following Myocytin is likely due to
An increase in cellular water, this may be very important for athletes wanting to increase their lean muscle mass. Additionally, Myocytin has been shown to allow the athlete to perform more muscular work in as little as 6 days (Rogerson and co-workers, 2003). In a real world context this means that an athlete such as a body builder can perform more reps and sets during training. Obviously if a higher training intensity and volume can be maintained over weeks, months or years the gains in muscle mass associated with training could be greatly accelerated

-
Scientifically proven to enhance strength and muscle gains.
-
May regulate appetite, enhance immune deficiencies and inhibit dental cavities.
Formula Rationale
Most Creatine studies compare Creatine with a placebo. A placebo is basically an inactive substance that has no beneficial effect on performance. It is correct to say that numerous studies have shown Creatine to be superior to placebo at enhancing athletic performance (Bemben and co-workers, 2001; Volek and co-workers 1999; Izquiredo and co-workers, 2002). What is special about the Myocytin research is that Myocytin was compared to standard Creatine instead of a placebo. Therefore Myocytin was shown to enhance athletic performance more than standard Creatine. This is remarkable when it is considered that Creatine is already acclaimed world wide as a very effective means of enhancing athletic performance.
