Crea-TEN contains the most effective forms of creatine currently available. Due to the global shortage and the fact that 5% Nutrition Rich Piana will not use low quality forms of creatine, we have decided to use the 9 best forms currently available on the market. Crea-TEN also contains our exclusive Creatine Accelerate blend. This innovative formula optimizes absorption and significantly improves endurance. That's not all! It also increases hydration and cell volume.
Crea-TEN Legendary Series comes in a variety of flavors! If you thought creatine was delicious before, wait until you try this product. This is a classic creatine formula created by the man himself, Rich Piana. Unlike other companies, we do everything possible to get the job done at the highest level!
Crea-TEN ® Legendary Series contains 9 of the most effective and highly absorbable versions of creatine. Here's what's in this powerful formula:
- Creatine monohydrate is the creatine that started it all! In the early 90s, this created a real revolution in the industry. Creatine monohydrate is the most tested and proven form of creatine, bar none. This means it should have been in Crea-TEN ®: Legendary Series! To enhance absorption of this classic, this patented version uses micronized particles. These smaller particles are much more easily absorbed by the body.
- Dicreatine malate is a combination of creatine and malic acid. It plays a role in the metabolism of ATP for energy. Dicreatine malate has all the benefits of monohydrate and also significantly improves endurance.
- Tricreatine citrate – like creatine citrate, this is creatine attached to citric acid. In this case, there are three molecules of creatine. This combination improves absorption and, as noted below, is involved in the Krebs, or citric acid, energy cycle.
- Creatine Citrate – This version combines creatine and citric acid. As noted, it is a component of the Krebs cycle. Also called the citric acid cycle, it is an energy system that converts food into usable energy for the body. It is connected to the ATP energy system.
- Creatine Pyruvate – We have already seen that Crea-TEN ® uses forms of creatine that are directly related to endurance. Although creatine increases cell volume, it is also important for endurance. The more reps you can do, the better, right? In addition, absorption is of primary importance in Crea-TEN® . This is why it is such an effective product.
- Creatine ethyl ester hydrochloride is an early competitor to monohydrate. This form of creatine was the first designed to solve problems with the absorption of original creatine. Since then, it has continued to be a popular alternative to creatine monohydrate. It helps transport creatine directly into the bloodstream.
- Creatine AKG is a version where creatine is attached to an alpha-ketoglutarate molecule. This is another form that improves training endurance.
- Creatine Gluconate – Let's go back to when creatine was a new supplement. It was then recommended to take it with simple sugar, such as fruit juice. This is enhanced absorption. With that in mind, here's a version that targets fast absorption by attaching creatine to glucose.
- Creatine Phosphate is another version that is directly linked to the ATP energy system. It also acts as an acid buffer. This means that Crea-TEN ® increases endurance in two ways.
