Ask Dr. Andro: Is Creatine Nitrate Worth it? Is it Really That Superior to the Good Old Creatine Monohydrate?

Written by | published on

Question from Brian Recker ( via Facebook ): Hey, what's your opinion of creatine nitrate ? What would you say based on the science out there? Is it just more hype or is it really better than good old creapure ? Attention! I posted a follow u p on the safety of nitrate and the risk of nitrite on August, 13th. Image 1: Photoshop or creatine nitrate, what works best for increased vascularity? (Image from Vascular Bodybuilders Muscle ) Answer: The answer would be very short, if I solely based it "on the science out there", because there simply is no exercise- or supplement-related science behind C 4 H 9 N 3 O 2 .HNO 3 , or in plain English, the molecular combination of creatine (C 4 H 9 N 3 O 2 ) and nitric acid (HNO 3 ). The result is a bulky molecule weighing 194.5g/mol, i.e. 45.35g/mol more than regular creatine monohydrate (149.14844 g/mol) and 63.2 g/mol more than creatine anhydrous (131.3 g/mol). That being said, it probably won't surprise you that 6...

Beet Root Juice Supplementation Improves Exercise Performance. Nitrate Content of the Beets Decreases ATP Turnover in High Intensity Exercise.

Written by | published on
Nitrates have long been decried as toxic and dangerous and I bet, before their latest appearance to the supplement market, none of you would even have remotely considered to consciously increase his/her dietary nitrate supply. Yet, recent scientific studies confirm that nitrate (in moderate doses) is not only safe, but also has, its effects on vasodilation aside, quantifiable effects on exercise performance. A group of scientists from the UK tried to find out the underlying mechanisms of the ergodicity of supplemental nitrate ( Baily. 2011 ). Following a six day supplementation period in the course of which seven males (aged 19-38 yr) consumed 500 mL per day of either nitrate-rich beetroot juice (~300mg nitrate content) or placebo (PL, with negligible nitrate content). What they observed is best described as a "tuning effect" that was observable both, in the course of high, as well as in the course of low intensity exercise training. During low intensity exercise ,...
