Q: How does this product improve strength, power, or performance during physical activity?
A: This product contains creatine monohydrate, collagen and many other amino acids that contribute to increasing muscle/ intramuscular, energy levels, overall strength, power and performance.
Q: How does the product support joint pain?
A: This claim comes from the collagen in this product, which helps with joint pain.
Q: Can this product be mixed with hot beverages?
A: Ideally, no, because amino acid blends (L-Methionine and L-Tryptophan) and creatine are heat-sensitive. Exposure to heat can lead to the degradation or breakdown of these amino acids and creatine, significantly reducing their overall effectiveness.
Q: Can I take more than one serving?
A: It is recommended to take one serving a day only.
Q: It mentions taking immediately, can I drink it over an hour or longer? Are there any cons to this?
A: It is recommended to take it immediately since this product is designed to be absorbed quickly and effectively. Spreading it out over time may reduce effectiveness and the overall potency of the drink.
Q: Are there any other side effects associated with using this product?
A: You may experience gastrointestinal discomfort/disturbances while using this product.
Q: Is this product safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
A: It would be best to ask a health care practitioner/ provider/ professional if you are using this product during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.
Q: Why is there a caution for those with a kidney disorder?
A: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When the body breaks down proteins into amino acids, they are then processed by the kidneys. Therefore, for individuals with kidney disorder, the kidney's ability to filter waste and excess substances will be impaired, leading to build ups on waste products, including nitrogen and increased production of ammonia and urea.
Q: Why is there a caution for those with depression?
A: This product contains certain ingredients that can influence neurotransmitter levels and brain functions. For example, L-Tryptophan acts as a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation. An imbalance in serotonin levels may potentially worsen symptoms of depression in some individuals. Similarly, L-Phenylalanine, a precursor to dopamine, could also impact individuals dealing with depression.
Q: What is the source of the hydrolyzed collagen in this product?
A: The source is bovine (cows).
Q: Why is it important to use the product for a minimum of 4 weeks?
A: During this time, you will begin seeing results.
Q: How should this product be stored to maintain its quality?
A: Keep out of reach of children, store at room temperature. Protect from heat and moisture.
Q: Is there a risk of weight gain when using this product as it has Creatine?
A: With long term use, weight gain may result from muscle building. However, in the short term, it is often due to temporary water retention.
Q: What does “Bitter Neutralizer” mean in Natural flavors?
A: The “Bitter Neutralizer” refers to a composition of compounds that are added to a product to mask or reduce the bitter taste. As some ingredients such as proteins can have a bitter or unpleasant taste, the bitter neutralizer helps to make the product more palatable.
