Creatinine is another name for chemical waste. It is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle.
Yes, a Monster energy drink does have Creatine in it. The Nutrition Label does not say Creatine exactly. On the label is says sodium citrate, which is another name for Creatine.
Yes it is. Creatine ethyl ester is just another more expensive form of creatine monohydrate, that is "absorbed" better than regular creatine. Creatine is legal to take, but coaches are not allowed to provide it for their athletes. I actually just got out of our NCAA meeting and we talked about this same thing.
Albumen, creatine, fibrin, cheese, milk...
Creatine Phosphate + ADP --> (Creatine Kinase) --> Creatine + ATP
Vitamins are totally different things to creatine. Good sources for creatine are fish and red meat. If you are willing you can also look into supplementing creatine. Creatine monohydrate is the most proven type of creatine supplement.
how creatine supplements are manufactured
The enzyme creatine kinase catalyzes the reaction that creates creatine phosphate. This reaction involves transferring a phosphate group from ATP to creatine, forming creatine phosphate and ADP. Creatine phosphate serves as a short-term energy reservoir in muscle cells.
Creatine is not a steroid.
Creatine Ethyl Ester is a newer, slightly more expensive form of the popular supplement creatine. Creatine is most commonly sold in the form of creatine monohydrate. Creatine ethyl ester is, essentially, a modified form of creatine monohydrate that has been "esterified." This means that an ethyl ester compound has been attached to the creatine, which theoretically makes it more efficiently absorbed by the body.
If each creatine pill contains 1 gram of creatine, you would need to take 5 pills to get 5 grams of creatine.
The metabolism of creatine consists of the cyclization of creatine forming creatinine. This process of degradation is spontaneous and non-enzymatic.
