Creatine is fundamental to energy production in the muscles and occurs naturally in the human body. It is mainly localised in skeletal muscles (95% of the body’s total) but these muscles are not able to produce creatine: the need to supply these muscles (2 gr a day in a person of average weight) is partially met by hepatic synthesis (1 gr) and in part from creatine present in meat based foodstuffs (creatine is virtually absent in vegetables). Assumed orally, creatine rapidly passes into the blood and so into the muscles where it acts in various ways, including: 1) quickly restoring (in the form of phosphocreatine) energy reserves used during physical activity; 2) facilitating the transport and diffusion of energy; 3) moderately stimulating protein synthesis. These properties are enhanced by increasing muscular creatine levels through the regular assumption of creatine for more or less prolonged periods.

The presence of glucose in the product reflects the fact that this is the most important naturally occurring energy giving sugar in nature. In fact, glucose is the main source of energy production, which occurs through the well known process of anaerobic glycolysis   Blood glucose levels (glycemia) between 65 and 100 mg per 100 ml are considered normal. Above and below this level results in hypo and hyperglycemia that characterise various physiological and pathological conditions.  The glucose required by the body is not only derived from the diet but can also be produced by a physicist in a series of biochemical reactions called gluconeogenesis.  Glucose assumed in the diet quickly enters the blood (in minutes). Blood glucose levels (glycemia) regulate the production of insulin that in turn regulates the entry of this sugar into the muscles. The response of skeletal muscles to insulin not only depends on greater absorption of glucose but also on other nutrients in blood such as creatine and amino acid. In other words, glucose acts indirectly inside the muscle by becoming a system transport ing many nutrients.

The element magnesium is indispensable to life: over 300 biochemical reactions in our bodies depend on magnesium. Many reactions in the production, transfer, storing, and use of energy are “magnesium dependent” including those in which glucose and creatine take part.
