Gluco Creatina+ Chewable Tablets is a dietary supplement based on glucose and creatine. This product can be defined as “enhanced, energetic creatine” due to the addition of glucose.

Creatine plays a crucial role in energy production at the muscle level and is naturally present in the human body. It is mainly located in skeletal muscles (95% of the body’s total), which, however, cannot produce creatine: their daily requirement (2 g per day in an average-weight person) is partially met by hepatic synthesis (1 g) and partially by creatine present in meat-based foods (creatine is virtually absent in vegetables).

Orally ingested creatine quickly passes into the bloodstream and then into the muscles, where it performs several actions, including:

• Promptly restoring (as phosphocreatine) energy reserves used during physical activity.
• Facilitating the transport and diffusion of energy.
• Moderately stimulating protein synthesis.

These properties are enhanced by increasing creatine levels in muscles, achievable by taking creatine regularly over prolonged periods.

As for the presence of glucose in the product, it is the most important sugar in nature in terms of energy. Glucose is the primary source for energy production through well-known anaerobic (without oxygen) and aerobic (with oxygen) glycolysis processes. Blood glucose levels (glycemia) between 65 and 100 mg per 100 ml are considered normal. Values below and above these levels lead to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, respectively, which characterize various physiological and pathological conditions.

Dietary glucose quickly enters the bloodstream (within minutes). Blood glucose levels (glycemia) regulate insulin production, which in turn controls the entry of this sugar into muscles. The skeletal muscle’s response to insulin includes increased absorption of glucose and other nutrients present in the blood, such as amino acids and creatine. In other words, glucose acts as an indirect transport system for many nutrients into the muscle.

The combination of creatine and glucose creates a synergy in their roles, characterized primarily by enhancing the action of creatine. Glucose and magnesium can facilitate the absorption and effects of creatine at the muscle level.

Usage Indications:

SPORT:

• The product is particularly suitable for those who engage in sports regularly. Continuous intake of creatine for at least a week improves physical performance (short, intense, and repeated), reduces recovery times, and delays the production of lactic acid.
• Dosage: Take 6 to 12 tablets per day, divided between before and after training/competition.

DAILY LIFE:

• The product is indicated in cases of asthenia, weakness, and muscle pain. It is useful for supplementing diets with total or partial absence of meat products (vegetarian). Indicated for the elderly, where meat consumption is generally reduced.
• Dosage: Take 6 tablets throughout the day.

Packaging: 210 chewable tablets

Warnings:

Dietary supplements should not be considered as substitutes for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children under 3 years of age. Do not use during pregnancy, in children, in cases of liver or kidney disease, or for prolonged periods without consulting a doctor. The product is intended for adults only. Do not use during pregnancy.
