FSI Creatine Edge - Discontinued

Increase muscle strength
Promote muscle growth
Boost storage of anaerobic energy
Delay muscle fatigue
Speed muscle recovery
Two university studies show Creatine Edge to be 195%* more effective than any other forms of creatine! The patent pending effervescent formula allows 95-99% of the creatine in Creatine Edge to be absorbed by your system, compared to about 35% for ordinary pills and powders. In an effervescent state, creatine molecules break down in water for ease of digestion and almost immediate absorption into the bloodstream.
How Creatine Edge Delivers Fuel To Muscles

Creatine Edge™ is an effervescent that is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine. (Other creatine supplements enter the stomach as solids, resulting in intestinal and stomach discomfort, limited absorption and excretion of about 65% of the creatine as a waste product.) Creatine is carried in the bloodstream to the skeletal muscles. Muscles use a substance called ATP for the energy to contract. Continued exertion causes muscle fatigue as ATP breaks down into ADP. In the muscles, creatine combines with phosphate ions to form phosphocreatine. It refuels exhausted muscles by helping to convert ADP back to ATP. Large reserves of phosphocreatine delay muscle fatigue and speed muscle recovery.

How Does Creatine Enhance Athletic Performance?

When you run the bases, throw a pass or row a boat, muscles depend on a substance called ATP for energy. In the process, ATP is broken down into ADP. That's when energy sags and fatigue sets in. Creatine, a nutrient found mainly in red meat, is a natural compound found in the muscles that combines with phosphate ions to form phosphocreatine. It refuels exhausted muscles by helping to convert ADP back to ATP. Taking creatine supplements increases the reserves of phosphocreatine well beyond what can be achieved with diet alone. Large reserves delay muscle fatigue and speed muscle recovery. In addition, muscle cells hold more water, causing muscles to grow in size as well as strength. Some studies show a decrease in body fat in athletes who use creatine.

How To Attain Your Edge

"I was amazed at how quickly I got results with Creatine Edge™ Effervescent. I go longer without muscle fatigue and recover faster."-Collegiate swimmer

You'll be fast on your way to improved performance when you use Creatine Edge™ Effervescent in two phases: loading and maintenance. In the loading phase, use one packet (5 grams of creatine) 4 times a day for 5 days. In the maintenance phase, use one packet every morning. Using higher dosages of Creatine Edge™ Effervescent will not harm your system but will not further boost performance, either. Once your body's creatine pool is filled, excess creatine is flushed out by the kidneys.

Convenient, Portable, No Measuring-"It's easy to carry packets of Creatine Edge™ Effervescent wherever I go. There's no measuring and no bulky bottles."-Pro tennis player

Foil packets are convenient and protect the purity of Creatine Edge™ Effervescent. Just mix a packet of Creatine Edge with 12 to 16 ounces of water. Each foil packet contains exactly 5 grams of creatine and 18 grams of dextrose.

Questions and Answers
I have seen other brands of effervescent creatine on the market. Are they all the same?
FSI Nutrition is the inventor of effervescent creatine and, in addition, the formula is patented (U.S. Pat. No. 5925378). Many companies have their own version of effervescent creatine. None of these, however, have matched the same ingredients and science as FSI's Creatine edge Effervescent.

How do I take Creatine edge Effervescent?
One packet dissolved in 16oz of water, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Do not eat for 1/2 hour after consumption.

Do I need to load with Creatine edge Effervescent?
Continued research has shown that there is no need to load with this patented delivery system. The absorption is so efficient that you will reach your saturation threshold without loading.

Is creatine a type of steroid?
No, creatine is not a steroid. Creatine is naturally produced by the body, and is in many of the foods people eat, mainly red meat. Its main function is to replenish energy to the muscles, which leads to all of the benefits creatine offers. Unlike steroids, it does not affect testosterone or estrogen levels in any way.

Are there any supplements that I can take in conjunction with Creatine edge Effervescent?
Phosphate edge is a terrific supplement to take with Creatine edge Effervescent. Phosphate edge enhances the effects of creatine by providing additional phosphate for creatine to bond with, forming phosphocreatine, which converts ADP back to ATP. Vitamin edge Effervescent is also a great compliment to Creatine edge Effervescent. This multivitamin can actually be placed in the same glass with Creatine edge and dissolved and consumed simultaneously.

Can I take more Creatine edge Effervescent to see even more results?
More is not better. Upon reaching your saturation point, your body can only take in 5 grams of creatine. Anything beyond that will have surpassed the saturation point, and will be excreted through the urine.

I take high-performance creatine now, why should I buy Creatine edge Effervescent?
If only about 1/3 of the creatine is actually absorbed, you will have to take 3 servings a day of your current brand to get the same amount of creatine in your system as one serving of Creatine edge Effervescent.

I have tried many different creatine products over the years, but I seem to get all the side effects such as stomach upset, headaches, cramping, and diarrhea. Will Creatine edge Effervescent be different?
Definitely. Those side effects are the reason that FSI began looking for a way to improve oral supplementation of creatine. With a lot of work, Joe Carnazzo developed a formula that allows almost complete absorption of the creatine you swallow. With regular pills and powders, the undissolved creatine (about 65% of what is swallowed) sits in your gut pulling water from your body in an attempt to break it down, which it cannot. It is believed that this osmotic pull is what causes these side effects. Our patented effervescent formula alleviates this problem.

*Proven by two independent university tests on this product.

Individuals who have a history of kidney or liver dysfunction or who are on medications should check with your physician or pharmacist before using creatine.
