VABION LLC (VABION) announced today that Alexa Ellis, a Web 2.0 marketing specialist in the health and fitness industry in Atlanta, GA, has improved her running time with creatine.   "Creatine is my 'can't miss' pre-workout energy supplement, especially if I'm running, said  Ellis.  “I found that the same fast-twitch muscle benefit I got
from taking creatine before lifting weights was also very effective before a run.”
She reports that her average minute per mile for a 10K run has decreased by an exceptional 30 seconds.

“The key to using creatine as a runner is not to overload: I only take 1.5g per workout,” Ellis adds.  “A 1.5g dose of creatine is about the same amount that is produced by
my body as a natural energy source anyway, so I'm just giving my body
an extra energy boost.”

Creatine, more typically used by bodybuilders, can improve the release of energy by donating phosphates to make ATP, the body’s energy currency.  Bodybuilders generally “load” creatine in their skeletal muscles by consuming 20-30 grams or more each day.  Runners and other athletes do not need large quantities—a very small amount can make a critical difference.

Creatine is stored in the skeletal muscles and is available for energy release when needed. The human body circulates approximately 1.6% of its total creatine pool every day.  This ranges from 1 to 5 grams.  Diesel Energy Stix®, VABION’s premiere energy product,  contain 1.5 grams of creatine in each powdered energy shot.
Creatine is an organic acid is formed by other amino acids, such as glycine.  Creatine is synthesized primarily in the liver, and stored in the skeletal muscles.  According to research the average 150-lb. person produces approximately 1g of creatine each day, and about 1.6% of the body’s total creatine pool, approximately 120g, is cycled through the body.   The body’s storage of creatine enables the muscles to have a rapid energy source:  creatine donates its phosphorus molecules to produce adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which further breaks down to make adenosine tri-phosphate, the body’s energy currency.
“Many athletes supplement with creatine, in order to increase their physical energy for short-term bursts such as sprints, jumps, and squats,” said Susan Hardwicke, Ph.D., the company’s chief executive and chief scientist. “Research has shown benefits for these short-term uses.  The use of creatine for pre-run energy is innovative and a trend  that is rapidly catching on.”
