In More Detail
Creatine Gluconate is a molecule of creatine attached to a molecule of glucose. When these two molecules are combined, the result is a form of creatine that is absorbed in much the same way as glucose. Glucose is an extremely fast-digesting carbohydrate, causing the creatine to be absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly and efficiently. This is why regular creatine monohydrate is often combined with fast-digesting carbohydrates such as dextrose and glucose, in order to improve the speed of absorption. With creatine gluconate this isn’t necessary as the very nature of its structure ensures that it happens automatically. This means an advanced amount of creatine can arrive at your muscle, increasing all the usual benefits of normal creatine.
When a creatine molecule reaches the bloodstream it divides in two, a process known as an ‘ion split’. With a creatine powder such as creatine ethyl ester, this can leave you with creatine (which you want) and ethyl alcohol (which you don’t want). The creatine is essentially now in limbo and needs a ‘second wind’ to ensure it is delivered to the muscle cells. When creatine gluconate splits, it is divided into creatine and glucose. The glucose immediately creates an insulin spike (the second wind that you want) ensuring that creatine is delivered to the muscle cells rapidly.
Creatine helps the body produce greater levels of ATP which is a chemical required for making muscles contract effectively. Greater levels of ATP can ultimately lead to improvements in strength, power and endurance.
