Tried and true, creatine is nothing new. It’s been around for decades, and is near-ubiquitous in the fitness world. Bodybuilders take it. Professional athletes take it. Weekend warriors take it. Women are learning of its plethora of benefits, both mental and physical. There are even seniors taking it to improve their lives and muscle health.This isn’t an accident or an empty trend -- creatine is a supplement mainstay for a reason: it works. It plays a critical role in the production of ATP, which is referred to as the energy currency of your cells. ATP is needed to perform an endless array of cellular functions, and ATP is the "gasoline" that powers the vehicle. With creatine's role in energy production, it's not going anywhere, and every day, more people understand and enjoy its benefits.But we at BOSS Supplements weren't just going to put out yet another standard creatine monohydrate supplement. You can get that anywhere. From us, you get The New Standard.

BOSS Creatine: Creatine with a Chauffeur

Now what makes BOSS Creatine different from the other creatine monohydrate supplements on the shelves? BOSS Creatine has a secret weapon. Consider it the scout recon detachment that helps prepare the field of battle.It's called AstraGin, an ingredient with a gleaming reputation as a bioavailability and absorption-enhancer, in an effort to get your body to creatine saturation as soon as possible.So AstraGin rolls out the red carpet for creatine, which then gets loaded into the muscle to be stored for its energy-boosting prowess as needed. Let's take a look at how both of them work:

The BOSS Creatine Formula:

Creatine Monohydrate:Creatine is vital for ATP production, supporting body processes like muscle contraction, energy metabolism, electrolyte transport, and neurotransmission / brain function. It's stored as both creatine and phosphocreatine in the muscle, where it provides phosphate groups to the mitochondria.[1] This supports ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which is especially beneficial during exercise when glycogen stores are low.[2] In essence, greater creatine status enhances your body's energy supply for physical and mental exertion.Your creatine intake needs vary based on factors like your size and muscle mass, meat consumption, activity levels, and existing amount of creatine stored. The goal is to achieve creatine saturation, where muscles are fully supplied with creatine, and maintain it. Our goal is to get you there quickly and efficiently. Generally that's done by taking 3-5 grams each day, every day.The average male body stores about 120 grams of creatine[1] and loses around 2 grams daily,[3,4] making daily supplementation highly beneficial. While dietary sources like red meat and chicken provide creatine, they often fall short unless you're eating pounds of meat, making supplementation a practical solution.
The 5-15% ruleExtensive research supports creatine supplementation, showing significant benefits in athletic performance, strength, and muscle mass. A review of 300 experiments revealed improvements in athletic performance by 5 to 15%,[5] with athletes gaining nearly twice as much lean mass as non-users over the same period of time.[6-8] Emerging research also indicates cognitive benefits, particularly for individuals with lower meat intake, suggesting creatine's potential to alleviate cognitive decline due to ATP depletion.[9]Creatine monohydrate is the de-facto standard -- no other form has more research supporting it. We stick with the tried-and-true, but we did ask ourselves, could we enhance its uptake? The answer is in the next ingredient:AstraGin:Here’s the kicker that sets BOSS Creatine apart. AstraGin is a patented blend of ginseng and astragalus,[10-14] which both clock high in bioactive components that help to bolster digestion and absorption. AstraGin may even increase your intestinal cells’ ability to synthesize ATP – much like creatine’s effects on the entire body – which is then used to aid the absorption of nutrients.Long story short – AstraGin is used to increase the bioavailability of other ingredients. In this case, it's here to improve your uptake of creatine, ensuring your body can put as much of it as possible to good use. Taken consistently, AstraGin can even improve gastrointestinal health, itself.[15] Consider it a gut health ingredient that pairs with nearly anything to make it better.

More than CreatineWe're not here to reinvent the wheel or push some newfangled creatine ingredient. Those are interesting, but nothing trumps monohydrate's established body of research -- and we don't think anything ever will. The ingredient is great at what it does -- boosting physical energy, performance, and even mental acuity. It's the no-brainer.But if you're not absorbing nutrients, you're not getting the most out of your diet and supplement regimen. An ingredient is only as good as its absorption. We believe that AstraGin is the key that unlocks the full potential of creatine, for professional athletes and varsity pickleball players at the local seniors’ center alike.
