CreaLean 2

• Up to 39 times stronger than creatine monohydrate!
• No “loading” … just take 2 servings per day!
• Easy-to-take capsules are convenient for those who dislike creatine powders.

CreaLean2™ contains a pharmaceutically esterified form of creatine designed to penetrate the lipid membranes of muscle cells and volumize muscle cells in a way that no other creatine can--up to 39 times more effectively than ordinary creatine monohydrate can! Its unique molecular structure allows you to experience freaky gains in strength and muscle fullness, with only a fraction of the dosage required with other forms of creatine and without worrying about creatinine-conversion or creatine “bloat.” Unlike many other forms of creatine, you will notice the effects of CreaLean2™ within just a few days of use, not a few weeks. With CreaLean2™ there is no loading, no bloating, and no need to mix with simple, fattening sugars to create an insulin spike for absorption.

To help you get the best results in the fastest way possible, Labrada now provides you with a superior alternative to regular creatine monohydrate: CreaLean2™. Thanks to the pharmaceutical technology of esterification, creatine loading is becoming a thing of the past.

Creatine monohydrate is a tasteless, white crystalline powder. Creatine occurs naturally in many foods, with an especially high concentration in red meats. Creatine combines with phosphate in the body to form phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine is the rate limiting factor in energy production in muscle tissue.

During the first ten seconds of an exercise using maximal loads (1-6 reps), muscles work in the phosphagenic range, that is, they use stored ATP and phosphocreatine for energy. ATP is an energy-bearing substrate residing in muscle. Phosphocreatine is a precursor to ATP. By increasing phosphocreatine through creatine monohydrate supplementation, athletes can increase their ATP, and thereby, the number of repetitions performed on any given exercise. In addition, creatine users typically experience dramatic results within only 7 days! Lean body mass gains of 5-10 pounds are not uncommon. This type of progress sounds like something from the mythical headlines of a supplement ad, but these claims can actually be validated.

Recent scientific studies are confirming that creatine monohydrate can increase a 1-rep maximum benchpress by 20 lb., improve sprint capacity, and can help pack on 5-10 lb. of lean muscle in less than 30 days.

Not only will creatine increase strength, speed, and size, but it will also improve the appearance of muscles. Creatine monohydrate associates with water as it is absorbed into the muscle cells. As more creatine is stored, more water is brought into the muscle. This explains why creatine has a hydrating effect on muscle—which is made up of approximately 75% water. Bodybuilders take notice: a well hydrated muscle has the appearance of being fuller, rounder, and more pumped.
