{"product_id":"creatine-monohydrate","title":"Creatine Monohydrate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe body produces small amounts of creatine, primarily in the liver and kidneys. It is subsequently carried via the bloodstream to skeletal muscle, which requires it for optimal performance. Unfortunately, the quantity of creatine shown in clinical research trials to support and promote exercise performance, muscle protein synthesis, and related processes is significantly larger than what the body can manufacture and what we receive through our diet. This is where creatine monohydrate supplementation comes in.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/strong\u003eCreatine Monohydrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unflavored\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Country:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Amount: \u003c\/strong\u003e0.55lb (250g)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGross Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.9 oz \/ 0.68 lb \/ 308 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use: \u003c\/strong\u003eAs a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) scoop in eight (8) oz. of water or juice four (4) times daily during the first five (5) days (loading phase).
