Creatine monohydrate is actually a naturally occurring compound that is synthesized within the human body, as well as being found in various other dietary sources, including red meat. Despite the fact that we produce it naturally, experts have found that increasing the amount of creatine inside of our bodies, no matter what age you are, can provide a whole bunch of various health, fitness, athletic and cognitive benefits, which we’ll look at in more detail a little later on. [1,2,3,4,7] Because of this, supplement companies have been able to naturally manufacture this very compound, and turn it into an extremely effective supplement that has been found to help increase muscle mass, strength, and athletic performance in a whole host of different individuals. How does it work? Once inside the body, creatine monohydrate is actually converted by the body, into creatine phosphate. It is creatine phosphate that helps assist the body with the natural production of a compound known as ATP, or Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. ATP is used by the muscles as a source of energy and fuel, so the more ATP the muscles have available to them, the more efficiently they are able to work. [9] Put simply, every time your muscles work, they are contracting, and ATP helps them to contract. We can naturally synthesize creatine as previously mentioned, but unfortunately the amounts we produce are not sufficient enough to be able to assist with athletic performance or muscle size and strength. Creatine is also present in foods, but again, these dosages are far too low to be beneficial, and besides which, some of it is actually lost during the cooking process. Creatine supplements however, provide strong dosages which are absorbed quickly by the muscles, which in turn, helps to ensure that the muscles work more efficiently. What are the main benefits of Creatine Monohydrate? Some of the primary benefits of creatine monohydrate supplements include: Muscle growth Creatine monohydrate supplements are a staple ingredient in many bodybuilding supplement stacks, but they don’t actually assist with muscle growth in the same way as protein supplements do. Creatine supplements assist with muscle growth, due to the fact that they improve muscle contractions, plasma and ATP levels. [5] The more ATP energy the muscles have, the harder they can work, and the longer they can work before they begin to fatigue. This means you can increase training volumes and frequencies and can get more done in the gym, making your workouts more productive. [1] Strength increases As well as helping to assist with muscle growth, another benefit of creatine supplements is the fact that they also increase your overall strength levels, because they allow the muscles to generate more power during each contraction. This means you can lift heavier weights and generate more explosive power, which basically makes you stronger. [1] Improved muscle pumps Another great bodybuilding benefit of creatine monohydrate supplements is the fact that they provide very impressive muscle pumps. This is because the additional ATP causes muscle cells to swell and expand, allowing them to absorb more water. As they are filled with water and energy, this gives the muscles a bigger and fuller appearance, leading to more impressive muscle pumps during, and for a short while after, training. This can help you psychologically as the better you look, the harder you will work in the gym. [1] Other benefits include: Increased muscle mass Increased rates of recovery Increased energy Improved athletic performance Impressive muscle pumps Increases in strength Increased in immune system function Fat loss And more... How and when to consume? Scoop Size: 5 g Health Canada Recommended Dose (powder): Adults: 1 Scoop(s) 1 time(s) per day. Mix product well in 1-2 cups of liquid (water, juice, etc.) immediately before consumption. Store in a cool, dry place. Creatine Monohydrate VS Creapure Although very similar to one another, creatine monohydrate and creapure are still slightly different, and both provide very different benefits. Creapure is a purer form of creatine monohydrate providing users with an even more pure creatine monohydrate per serving. Because of this, it is absorbed quicker, which can be beneficial, and it can be detrimental as well. What to stack it with? Creatine monohydrate is the second most popular bodybuilding supplement in the entire world, second only to whey protein, and because of that, it is a staple part of many bodybuilding stacks. Generally, it is commonly stacked with: Dextrose, pre-workout supplements, L-Glutamine, BCAAs, whey protein, and casein protein. [6] Although truthfully it can be stacked with virtually any health and fitness supplement on the market. Potential side effects As with all supplements, always consult your doctor before using any new supplement, and discontinue use if you encounter any negative side effects. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using creatine monohydrate. Generally it is considered one of the safest sports supplements in the world, although possible side effects can include: [10] Stomach cramps Bloating Frequent urination Damage to the kidneys and liver if large dosages (more than the recommended daily dosage) are consumed.

Whey Protein Isolate

Canadian Protein Whey Protein Isolate is a high quality undenatured protein supplement that provides excellent quality, and a slight cost break from our Premium Isolate. Read the product description below. Contents 1 What is 100% Whey Protein Isolate? 2 How does it work? 3 What are the main benefits of whey protein isolate supplements? 3.1 More protein per serving 3.2 Muscle growth and repair 3.3 Rapid Absorption 4 How and when should it be consumed? 5 Whey Protein Isolate VS Whey Concentrate 6 What can it be stacked with? 7 Nutrition facts 8 100% Whey Protein Isolate Ingredients 9 Allergen warnings 10 Reviews What is Whey Protein Isolate? For anybody looking to build muscle, or simply help their muscles recover after a grueling workout, protein is absolutely vital, as it plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, which is where new muscle proteins are synthesized to replace damaged muscle tissue. As protein is vital for muscle growth and repair, protein supplements are the most popular sports supplements in the entire world, especially whey protein. Typically, whey protein concentrates are more common than isolates, because they are cheaper. Whey isolate and concentrates are both derived from cow’s milk and are obtained when the milk is separated into cheese. However, whereas whey concentrates will typically be between 70 and 80% protein per serving, whey isolates will be around 90-97% protein per serving. This means that you get more protein per serving, and less (only 5%) fats and carbohydrates, than regular whey protein. Whey isolate undergoes highly advanced filtration processes, which are typically micro and ultra-filtration processes. This means that the protein molecules do not become denatured, and so obviously, as a result, they are still as potent and effective. The proteins are high in bioactive peptides, and fats, carbohydrates, and other unwanted ingredients, are filtered out. How does it work? From a bodybuilding standpoint, whey protein is vital for a number of different reasons. To begin with, protein is actually thermogenic, which basically means that it increases the metabolism as the body attempts to digest it and break it down. This proves useful for weight loss and energy production. However, it really comes into its own when it comes to building muscle. As we exercise, especially with lifting weights, our muscle fibres and tissues become damaged, worn down, and even destroyed, which is why we feel sore after training. We don’t actually build muscle by lifting weights at all, we actually destroy it. We build muscle when we let our bodies recover, providing they have the right nutrients to do so. Protein is required for a process known as protein synthesis to occur, which, as mentioned, is when the body creates new muscle proteins and tissues to replace the damaged ones as a result of our workouts. Without the protein and amino acids making up the protein however, our bodies wouldn’t have the tools required to build the muscle. Whey isolate ensures that we get even more pure protein, so the muscles and muscle cells can absorb more nutrients required for optimal muscle growth. What are the main benefits of whey protein isolate supplements? Some of the primary benefits associated with whey protein isolate, include: More protein per serving As mentioned, whey concentrates are cheaper because they contain less protein, and provide less protein per serving. Typically, whey concentrates will provide around 70 – 80% protein, some more, and some even less. Whey isolates however, are typically 90-97% pure protein, so you get more protein per serving, and as a result, your muscles are being fed more nutrients per serving. Muscle growth and repair As we said, in order for the muscles to grow and recover following a workout, the body needs the tools required to initiate the post-workout recovery process. With whey isolate, that is exactly what the body gets, making it a fantastic supplement for helping to pack on the muscle. Rapid Absorption When it comes to post-workout nutrition, timing is everything, as you do not want to miss the ‘anabolic window’ so you need to get nutrients into your muscles as soon as possible. Whey protein in general, is fast absorbing, but as whey isolate contains less lactose, fats, and carbs, these cannot slow down absorption, so the protein gets into your system even quicker. Other benefits include: Increased muscle mass Increased strength levels Improved post-workout recovery Great taste High concentration of protein per serving Convenient Promotes athletic ability Reduced DOMS after training Helps strengthen the immune system And more... How and when should it be consumed? Adults: 1 Scoop(s) 1 time(s) per day. Mix product well in 1-2 cups of liquid (water, juice, etc.) immediately before consumption. Store in a cool, dry place. Whey Protein Isolate VS Whey Concentrate Whereas whey protein concentrate is still very beneficial, it does only provide typically around 70 – 80% protein per serving, as opposed to whey isolate. Whey isolate is of a higher quality and is a much purer whey protein, making it more beneficial, which is why it does tend to cost slightly more. Whilst the benefits are largely the same, whey isolate is considered superior as it provides a much purer and much higher protein content per serving. What can it be stacked with? As it is a highly popular bodybuilding supplement, a great bodybuilding stack could be: Pre-Workout supplements, Creatine Monohydrate, L-Leucine, Waxy Maize Starch, and Casein Protein at night, all along with the whey protein isolate. 100% Whey Protein Isolate Ingredients Banana Cream Pie Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Birthday Cake Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Canadian Maple Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Cappuccino Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Salt, Cocoa powder, Xanthan gum, Sucralose, Sunflower lecithin Chocolate Hazelnut Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Salt, Cocoa powder, Xanthan gum, Sucralose, Sunflower lecithin Chocolate Milkshake Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Salt, Cocoa powder, Xanthan gum, Sucralose, Sunflower lecithin Chocolate Peanut Butter Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Peanut flour (peanut), Cocoa powder, Salt, Xanthan gum, Sucralose, Sunflower lecithin Cinnabun Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Cookies & Cream Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Eggnog Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Original Chocolate Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Pumpkin Spice Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Salted Caramel Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Strawberry Banana Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Strawberry Milkshake Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Unflavoured & Unsweetened Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Sunflower lecithin Vanilla Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural and artificial flavour, Sucralose, Xanthan gum, Salt, Sunflower lecithin Natural Vanilla (Stevia) Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Natural flavour, Reb A (steviol glycosides), Salt, Xanthan gum, Sunflower lecithin Natural Chocolate Milkshake (Stevia) Ingredients: Whey protein isolate, Cocoa powder, Natural flavours, Salt, Xanthan gum, Reb A (steviol glycosides), Sunflower lecithin Allergen warnings All Flavours Contain: Milk.
