Boss Supplements Creatine w/ Astragin
Experience the power of tried-and-true creatine, now enhanced for maximum effectiveness with BOSS Creatine. While creatine is essential for ATP production and boosting energy, muscle performance, and cognitive function, we've taken it a step further. Our unique formula includes AstraGin, a bioavailability enhancer that ensures your body absorbs creatine efficiently, helping you reach creatine saturation faster. With extensive research backing its benefits, BOSS Creatine stands out by combining the proven power of creatine monohydrate with the absorption-boosting prowess of AstraGin. Elevate your performance with BOSS Creatine: The New Standard in creatine supplementation.
The BOSS Creatine Formula:
Creatine Monohydrate:
Creatine is vital for ATP production, supporting body processes like muscle contraction, energy metabolism, electrolyte transport, and neurotransmission / brain function. It's stored as both creatine and phosphocreatine in the muscle, where it provides phosphate groups to the mitochondria.[1] This supports ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which is especially beneficial during exercise when glycogen stores are low.[2] In essence, greater creatine status enhances your body's energy supply for physical and mental exertion.
Your creatine intake needs vary based on factors like your size and muscle mass, meat consumption, activity levels, and existing amount of creatine stored. The goal is to achieve creatine saturation, where muscles are fully supplied with creatine, and maintain it. Our goal is to get you there quickly and efficiently. Generally that's done by taking 3-5 grams each day, every day.
The average male body stores about 120 grams of creatine[1] and loses around 2 grams daily,[3,4] making daily supplementation highly beneficial. While dietary sources like red meat and chicken provide creatine, they often fall short unless you're eating pounds of meat, making supplementation a practical solution.
The 5-15% rule:
Extensive research supports creatine supplementation, showing significant benefits in athletic performance, strength, and muscle mass. A review of 300 experiments revealed improvements in athletic performance by 5 to 15%,[5] with athletes gaining nearly twice as much lean mass as non-users over the same period of time.[6-8] Emerging research also indicates cognitive benefits, particularly for individuals with lower meat intake, suggesting creatine's potential to alleviate cognitive decline due to ATP depletion.
Creatine monohydrate is the de-facto standard -- no other form has more research supporting it. We stick with the tried-and-true, but we did ask ourselves, could we enhance its uptake? The answer is in the next ingredient:
AstraGin:
Here’s the kicker that sets BOSS Creatine apart. AstraGin is a patented blend of ginseng and astragalus,[10-14] which both clock high in bioactive components that help to bolster digestion and absorption. AstraGin may even increase your intestinal cells’ ability to synthesize ATP – much like creatine’s effects on the entire body – which is then used to aid the absorption of nutrients.
Long story short – AstraGin is used to increase the bioavailability of other ingredients. In this case, it's here to improve your uptake of creatine, ensuring your body can put as much of it as possible to good use. Taken consistently, AstraGin can even improve gastrointestinal health, itself.[15] Consider it a gut health ingredient that pairs with nearly anything to make it better.
