- 189% Improved Muscle Creatine Absorption
- The Power of 5g of Creatine in 2 Tablets
- 400% Increase in Dose Efficiency to Enhance Athletic Performance*
- Increases Strength With Only 25% of the Dose of Ordinary Creatine*
Looking for the creatine? We’ve got it. Amplified Creatine 189™ is a cutting-edge solution that tops ordinary creatine monohydrate. In fact, it’s proven to get into your muscles and improve strength more efficiently.* Don’t just take any creatine. Tear it up with Amplified Creatine 189™.
The Amplified Creatine 189™ Evolution
It all started with basic science. Everyone knows creatine works to improve athletic performance.* The question is- how did we AMPlify its effects.
PEG-Creatine System™- This proprietary formula includes a patent-pending technology which allows you to get the same benefits as regular creatine monohydrate at a much lower dose! That’s right, you no longer have to take mounds of powder or handfuls of creatine pills to get the performance enhancing benefits of creatine.
The Proof is in the Muscle
We tested it and have proof that Amplified Creatine 189™ gets into muscle- even better than ordinary creatine! In a clinical study, Amplified Creatine 189 resulted in 189% muscle creatine uptake relative to creatine monohydrate.* Users of Amplified Creatine 189™ take less creatine and get more into the muscle.*

Creatine Monohydrate for Sports & Fitness
Creatine MonohydrateWhy Do Athletes Use It?*
Some athletes say that creatine monohydrate helps build muscle mass and improves performance and delays muscle fatigue during short-duration, high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting or weight lifting.
What Do the Advocates Say?*
Creatine is best for the serious bodybuilder. It helps increase muscle mass, rather than muscle endurance, so it's not well suited for athletes participating in endurance activities. However, the increase in muscle mass may be due to water retention and not an increase in muscle tissue.
How Much Is Usually Taken by Athletes?
Over 40 double-blind or controlled studies have found creatine supplementation (typically 136 mg per pound of body weight per day or 15 to 25 grams per day for five or six days) improves performance of either single or repetitive bouts of short-duration, high-intensity exercise lasting under 30 seconds each.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Examples of this type of exercise include weightlifting; sprinting by runners, cyclists, or swimmers; and many types of athletic training regimens for speed and power. About 15 studies did not report enhancement by creatine of this type of performance. These have been criticized for their small size and other research design problems, but it is possible that some people, especially elite athletes, are less likely to benefit greatly from creatine supplementation.8
Long-term use of creatine supplementation is typically done using smaller daily amounts (2 to 5 grams per day) after an initial loading period of several days with 20 grams per day. Very little research has been done to investigate the exercise performance effects of long-term creatine supplementation. One study reported that long-term creatine supplementation improved sprint performance.9 Four controlled long-term trials using untrained women,10 trained men,11 or untrained older adults found that creatine improved gains made in strength and lean body mass from weight-training programs.12, 13 However, two controlled trials found no advantage of long-term creatine supplementation in weight-training football players.14, 15

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Creatine 189™:
Besides working out some everyday, this helps a lot with my job when I am a cycle. My job requires a lot of moderate to heavy lifting. I can feel the difference, having a lot more quick burst energy and the heavy lifting seems to be somewhat less heavy. :) The 189 does not seem to bloat you either. This has become my Creatine of choice.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Creatine 189™:
The product has helped to put on mass, and has definitely helped in boosting strength. The products pill is on large side if you have trouble swallowing pills. Other than that the product has shown results faster than creatine monohydrate. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Creatine 189™:
When i took this product, i did see results, but not as much of a result as i have with other creatine supplements. The pills are HUGE and porous, so they make ya gag. they also have a nasty sweet taste that doesnt help. there were several occasions when i would use the bathroom, and see these pills(still in same shape and form) in the toilet, meaning they didnt digest properly.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Creatine 189™:
I've only been taking this for about a week, but I'm already feeling an improvement. My arms and chest are getting tighter and my strength is going up fast! This product is great for toning! I'm 6'3" and about 205lbs with a little fat on my stomach. This product will definitely motivate me to work out more to drop the little fat and reach my goal of 215 and all muscle EASILY!

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Creatine 189™:
I have definitely seen gains in my lifting abilities with this product after 2 weeks. However, the pills are enormous and have to be cut up to swallow properly. I don't know why they don't make the pills half the size and double the dose.
