How AST Creatine HSC Works – The Science

AST Creatine HSC uses the integration of creatine carrier sub-pathways and bioenergetic mediation to dramatically increase muscle cell creatine uptake and retention, creatine/ATP turnover, muscle cell volume, protein synthesis and lean muscle growth.

It's one thing to chug down spoonfuls of creatine, it's quite another to get that creatine into muscle tissue to promote increased muscle growth. AST Creatine HSC solves this dilemma by integrating four very important creatine mediators.

Integrated ATP Support System

ATP is the fuel that propels muscular contraction. Every rep you do depletes ATP stores. Creatine is the key component in replenishing this all important muscular fuel, but it's just one piece to the puzzle. AST Creatine HSC also provides you with little known, but all important “bioenergetic-intermediates” that are essential to fuel the creatine-to-ATP conversion process.

Now these intermediates are naturally synthesized within your body in micro amounts, but formulating a creatine substrate with the crucial bioenergetic-intermediates ensures that when there is extra creatine the necessary intermediates are there to complete the conversion process.

The Creatine-Sodium Chemical Gradient

The correct intra and extra-cellular creatine-sodium chemical gradient is crucial for “hyper” creatine transport - getting more creatine in your muscles than normally allowed under ordinary cellular-metabolic states. AST Creatine HSC stimulates sodium-creatine co-transport by increasing the trans-membrane sodium concentration gradient. This increased sodium flow into the cell allows a thermodynamic creatine attachment to “hitch-a-ride” into the muscle cell and thereby increasing your muscle creatine uptake.

Increasing your muscle cell creatine accumulation through cross-membrane sodium transport results in greater muscle creatine saturation for more potent muscle growth effects. Another first in the industry. Another high-tech weapon in your muscle-building arsenal.

Dual-Phosphate / Taurine Matrix

AST Creatine HSC integrates a precise sodium-potassium phosphate combination along with HPLC Taurine for increased muscle cell hydration and insulin-like mediation for creatine transport to promote an optimum cellular medium for accelerated muscle growth.


Precise Insulin Spike with DGC™

AST Creatine HSC incorporates new high-glycemic-index dextrorotatory glucose crystals. This new glucose component helps your body mediate a significant increase in creatine uptake and retention by having a sharp impact on serum insulin levels. This insulin “spike” drives more creatine into your muscle cells for increased cell volume and muscle growth.
