One of the supplements in the new MusclePharm Arnold Schwarzenegger series is Iron Cre3 - a creatine supplement. MusclePharm claims this is not your regular ole creatine monohydrate, but a super-charged creatine nitrate. Although I have never tried CRE3 yet, I did want to take the time to discuss Creatine Nitrate and how it differs from Creatine Monohydrate as I know there has been some confusion on the topic and individuals out there who believe CRE3 is underdosed. That being said, Creatine Nitrate is supposedly as effective as monohydrate at 1/10 the dose...read on...
According to MusclePharm, Cre3 (Creatine Nitrate) will:
It is important to note that they claim an effective dose of Creatine Nitrate is 1/10 the size of regular creatine monohydrate. Thus, the old rule of thumb of 5g of creatine per day does not apply when consuming Creatine Nitrate. So it is very important to realize the differences and not to believe that CRE3 is underdosed or consume too much of it since it is chemically altered.
Creatine Nitrate is the result of the fusion of highly-soluble nitric acid and creatine. Thanks to the addition of nitric acid, this unprecedented formulation improves the effectiveness of plain creatine molecules by fueling more efficient pathways into the muscles.*
