Hey, just wondering which would be more effective, Glycerol Mono Stearate or Glycocyamine....
I plan on taking at about a 1:1 ratio with creatine to help increase effectiveness of the creatine.
should help make creatine more effective- take a quick read- found this to be pretty interesting:
Protein turnover
Prior to creatine becoming a popular dietary supplement, a series of in vitro and in vivo investigations by Ingwall and colleagues 36-39 showed that myosin heavy-chain, actin and creatine kinase synthesis increased in cardiac and skeletal muscle subsequent to creatine exposure.
Additionally, Häussinger et al. 40 demonstrated that hyperhydrating a cell, which may happen during creatine supplementation, is an anabolic signal which positively impacts protein turnover. Although the theory for a role of creatine in protein synthesis is based on sound logic and data, there appears to be little effect of creatine supplementation on protein synthesis in humans
