Creatine has and
continues to be the most widely used supplement taken by athletes. Its ability
to enhance performance, strength, mass, and recovery while doing so in a
relatively short period of time allows it to stand above other supplements. One
of the major issues surrounding creatine has been its effective transport to the
muscles. Most creatine formulas depend mainly on dextrose or maltodextrin (two
very high glycemic sugars) to raise insulin: the primary element responsible for
transporting creatine to the muscles. This approach however is far from ideal
since dextrose and maltodextrin have a high osmolality rate, which means they
pass through the stomach very slowly and bind water, thus causing stomach
discomfort. Another problem with dextrose and maltodextrin is that they don’t
promote the delivery of creatine into the bloodstream. Insulin blood levels
subsequently peak at a time when most of the creatine is still sitting in the
gut. Once creatine levels finally peak in the bloodstream insulin levels have
largely returned to normal. This leaves a substantial portion of creatine
without a carrier and it goes to waste. In scientific studies, dextrose is
therefore given sometime after creatine, because scientists are well aware that
dextrose and creatine do not peak in the bloodstream at the same time.
In order to solve
this inequality, Nutrex Research Inc. has developed
Volu-Gro™, which uses 60 grams of a very unique and
ultra high-molecular weight carbohydrate6 called Long Chain Waxy Maize Starch
per serving to accelerate creatine transport. Waxy Maize Starch is equally as
potent in stimulating insulin as dextrose and maltodextrin, yet unlike these two
sugars, Waxy Maize
Starch is completely sugar free. Waxy Maize Starch is
revolutionary since scientific studies have shown that it passes through the
stomach 80% faster than dextrose or maltodextrin and therefore does not cause
any discomfort. In doing so Waxy Maize Starch acts like a pump, pulling creatine
and water along with it into the bloodstream. This ensures that creatine and
insulin are present in the bloodstream at the same time. A much greater amount
of creatine can now be transported into the muscles due to synchronized levels
of creatine and insulin in the blood. Additionally, scientific studies have
demonstrated that if taken immediately after training, the Waxy Maize Starch
element in Volu-Gro
restores muscular glycogen (muscle energy) 70% faster than dextrose or
maltodextrin. This makes Volu-Gro the ideal post workout
creatine formula since it not only
delivers more creatine to the muscles,
but also replenishes
glycogen stores much quicker causing the muscle cells to become
super-hydrated while speeding up recovery more efficiently than any other
glucose polymer or monomer (dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose etc.). The
overall result is much greater muscle cell volumization, protein synthesis, and
nutrient transport; all major factors contributing to enhanced muscle growth.
The fusion of creatine with Long Chain Waxy Maize Starch as seen in Volu-Gro
has set a new standard in creatine supplementation.

Days 1-5: During this five day loading phase take two servings daily. Consume one serving in the morning immediately upon waking and one serving immediately after your workout. On non-training days take your second serving in the afternoon between meals.
Day 6 on: Only one serving per day is needed. On training days consume Volu-Gro immediately after your workout. On non-training days take Volu-Gro immediately upon waking or in the afternoon between meals.
