Sugar-free Strength
Ever wonder why some creatine powders are loaded with sugar? It’s because the sweet stuff appears to improve creatine uptake into your muscles. But a new study suggests that creatine may be just as effective when it’s mixed with sodium instead of sugar. Creighton University scientists discovered that either combination produced similar gains in strength. “Our findings indicate that creatine’s uptake mechanism is sodium-based,” says Anthony Bull, PhD. Don’t worry: The amount of sodium needed for the beneficial effect is minimal. To try for yourself, check out Creatine Clear (8-ballnutrition.com), the product used in the study.
