First introduced in 1994, I&';m excited to announce the return of Hammer Creatine Boost. Research has accumulated over the past 30 years that shows this is not a one trick pony for strength athletes. So profound are the benefits, both for athletic performance and overall health, that it&';s the first product that I&';ve EVER classified as a DAILY ESSENTIAL, PEAK PERFORMANCE, and WELL-BEING supplement, all in one! Brian FrankOwner/Founder Hammer Nutrition INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN:CreapureA(R) pure creatine monohydrate produced by Alzchem Trostberg GmbH in Germany. HOW TO USE TRADITIONAL LOADING DOSE PROTOCOL: Research has shown the most effective way to rapidly increase intramuscular creatine concentrations is via a loading method. A typical loading protocol consists of 5 grams (1 scoop) in 4-5 daily doses (4-5 scoops/20-25 grams total per day) for 5-7 days. After the loading dose is complete, a maintenance dose of 5 grams (1 scoop) once daily is suggested. Each serving of Creatine Boost should be mixed in 12-16 ounces of water. You may also mix Creatine Boost in with Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. When the loading dose is complete and you&';re doing 5 grams (1 scoop) daily, on non-workout days take Creatine Boost in the morning with a little bit of food or in Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. On workout days, take Creatine Boost before strength, anaerobic workouts OR after endurance workouts. May add Creatine Boost to Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein after a strength/anaerobic workout or to Recoverite/Vegan Recoverite after an endurance workout. NON-LOADING DOSE PROTOCOL: Take 5 grams (1 scoop) per day. Research suggests that in approximately three weeks, muscular levels of creatine will be the same as they would be after a 5-7-day loading protocol. Each serving should be mixed in 12-16 ounces of water. You may also mix Creatine Boost in with Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. On non-workout days, take in the morning with a little bit of food or in Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. On workout days, take before strength, anaerobic workouts OR after endurance workouts. May add Creatine Boost to Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein after a strength/anaerobic workout or to Recoverite/Vegan Recoverite after an endurance workout. NOTE: If this is your first time using a creatine product, or if you&';ve not used creatine for a long time, consider starting with one-half dose of Creatine Boost (2.5 grams/0.5 scoops) for 3-5 days to allow the body to adapt to the 5-gram amount. NOTE: It is very important to maintain optimal hydration status all day long when using Creatine Boost. Therefore, in addition to the fluids you&';re consuming during workouts, make sure to drink fluids-mainly from water-that equal 0.5 to 0.6 of our body weight in pounds. Example: 180-pound athlete should drink 90 ounces (180 x 0.5) to 108 ounces (180 x 0.6) ounces of water throughout the day, in addition to fluids consumed during exercise.
