Description
Creatine HCL is a nitrogenous organic acid that aids the supply of energy to cells throughout the body, particularly muscle cells. Creatine is formed from three amino acids: L-Arginine, Glycine and L-Methionine. The bodyโs creatine store is converted for use every day by the liver, kidneys and pancreas. Creatine HCL is created by attaching hydrochloride to the creatine molecule.
The benefits of Creatine are well documented and this performance aid supplement boasts a high number of clinical trials to validate its claims. Of the various forms of creatine, monohydrate is the most common. Creatine HCL however enjoys a substantial following by coaches and athletes alike. The preference stems from several noticeable differences.
The bonding of creatine with hydrochloric acid improves water solubility and hence absorption into the muscle cell. This means a lower dose will give a better muscle cell creatine concentration. Since it is easily dissolved it will also reduce the propensity to retain water.
