Yes. Creatine is one of the most thoroughly researched molecules in all of sports supplementation, and studies show there are no adverse effects in healthy adults. [1] [2] 1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16814437 2 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15795816

Legion Recharge | Post-Workout Supplement with Creatine

Q: How do I use Recharge?

Mix 1 serving with 10 to 12 ounces of water and take with your post-workout meal. On non-training days, take with your largest meal of the day. For optimal results, take every day.

Q: How much of a difference will creatine make in my training?

After about a week of use, the first things you’re going to notice are increased strength and anaerobic endurance and reduced muscle soreness. In terms of muscle gain, creatine’s effects are subtler and noticeable over time. The reason for this is the more weight you can push in your workouts and the faster you recover, the more muscle you’re going to build over the long term.

Q: Will I lose my gains when I stop taking creatine?

No. Research shows that whatever muscle you gain while taking creatine, you keep when you stop taking it. [1] 1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15263100

Q: Is creatine a steroid?

Absolutely not. Creatine is made up of three amino acids (L-arginine, L-glycine, and L-methionine), bears no resemblance to steroids, and works completely differently in the body.

Q: Is Recharge for men and women?

Absolutely! Creatine helps both genders equally. Many women shy away from creatine because they fear getting “bulky” or are afraid of water retention and bloating. Well, weightlifting and creatine don’t make women bulky, and bloating from creatine is basically a non-issue these days thanks to modern processing methods.

Q: Is creatine bad for your kidney?

No. Research shows that creatine doesn’t harm the kidneys in healthy adults, even when combined with a high-protein diet. [1] The confusion about creatine’s supposed effects on the kidneys usually arises from its waste product, creatinine, which is also a diagnostic criterion for kidney problems. A person supplementing with creatine is going to have higher-than-normal creatinine levels, which creates a “false positive” for kidney dysfunction. [2] Furthermore, even if you have impaired kidney function, you’re unlikely to experience any problems. In one study conducted by scientists at the University of São Paulo, 20 grams of creatine per day caused no harm to someone with one slightly damaged kidney. [3] (That said, if you have any kidney issues, check with your doctor before starting supplementing with creatine.) 1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23680457 2 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15273072 3 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20060630

Q: Does creatine make you bloated?

Probably not. Bloating was a long-standing issue with creatine supplementation, but as processing methods have greatly improved, this is much less of a problem now than it once was.

Q: Do I need to cycle creatine?

No. Creatine isn’t a steroid and doesn’t impact your endocrine system. Thus, it doesn’t need to be cycled. In fact, cycling creatine would be counter-productive as each time you stopped taking it for an extended period of time and then resumed use, you would have to wait for it to accumulate in your muscles before you would feel it working again.

Q: Do I need to “load” creatine?

You don’t have to load creatine if you’re just starting with supplementation , but it does cause the creatine to accumulate faster in the muscles and thus the benefits to “kick in” faster. The standard loading protocol found in the scientific literature is 20 grams per day for 5 to 7 days, followed by a maintenance dosage of 5 grams per day. [1] In the case of Recharge, that would be 4 servings per day for the first 5 to 7 days followed by 1 serving per day. 1 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15707376

Legion Recharge Ingredients (7.11 grams per serving)

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (5 grams per serving)

Creatine is a natural compound made up of the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and methionine. Our body can produce creatine naturally, but it can also absorb and store creatine found in various foods like meat, eggs, and fish.

Creatine monohydrate is creatine with one molecule of water attached to it. This form of creatine has been around (and studied) for decades and is a tried-and-true winner, whereas other forms have failed to produce better results.

The creatine monohydrate in Recharge has also been micronized, which is a process that produces very fine particles that are more water soluble and easier to digest. Thus, micronized creatine monohydrate mixes better with liquid than the non-micronized form and is less likely to upset sensitive stomachs.

Research shows that supplementation with creatine monohydrate . . .

Boosts muscle and strength gain[9][10][11][12]
Improves anaerobic endurance[13][14][15][16][17][18]
Reduces muscle damage and soreness from exercise[19][20]
Increases the amount of glycogen your muscles can store[21]
Helps preserve lean mass and strength while restricting calories[22]

And in case you’re worried that creatine is bad for your kidneys, these claims have been horribly overblown.[23][24] Creatine supplementation isn’t advised in cases of kidney disease treated by diuretics, but in healthy people, both short- and long-term usage of creatine has no harmful side effects.[25][26][27]

The clinically effective dose of creatine monohydrate is 3 to 5 grams.[28]

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (2.1 grams per serving)

L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid found mostly in meat and dairy products. It’s “conditionally essential,” which means our body can produce it as long as we’re also eating enough of two other amino acids it can’t produce, lysine and methionine.

L-tartrate is a salt used to increase the absorption of other nutrients.

L-carnitine serves several vital functions in the body, mostly related to the production of cellular energy.[29] Thus, it’s not surprising that most of the L-carnitine in your body is found in your muscles, which have to be able to quickly generate a tremendous amount of energy.[30]

Additionally, when you supplement with L-carnitine, you greatly increase your body’s carnitine stores, and your muscles’ stores in particular.[31] This is why research shows that supplementation with L-carnitine L-tartrate . . .

Reduces exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness[32][33][34]
Improves muscle repair[35]
Improves insulin sensitivity[36]

The clinically effective dose of L-carnitine L-tartrate is 1 to 2 grams.[37]

Corosolic Acid (10.5 milligrams per serving)

Corosolic acid is a substance that comes from the leaves of the banaba plant.

It inhibits the activity of an enzyme that blunts insulin’s effects on cells called PTB1B, and by doing this, allows insulin to shuttle more nutrients into cells.

This is why research shows that supplementation with corosolic acid improves blood glucose control and enhances insulin signaling, which in turn enhances post-workout nutrient absorption.[38]

The clinically effective dose of corosolic acid is 10 milligrams.[39]

100% Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.[40][41][42][43][44][45]

That’s why we use the natural sweeteners stevia and erythritol instead. Studies show that these ingredients are not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better insulin sensitivity, enhanced cholesterol profile, lower inflammation levels, and more.[46][47][48][49]

No Artificial Food Dyes or Other Chemical Junk

No Artificial Food Dyes, Fillers, or Other Unnecessary Junk

As with artificial sweeteners, artificial food dyes aren’t a hazard per se, but studies show they can cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[50][51][52][53][54]

That’s why we use natural coloring derived from fruits and other foods, as well as natural flavoring.
