Optimum Power. Maximum Workout
You're ready to go the distance. Push harder, longer, heavier. You've got the bar in your hands and your goal in your grasp.

Advanced Formulation Works Immediately
The ingredients of Xtra Creatine Serum are perfectly soluble, so they're perfectly bioavailable. Ready to be absorbed quickly by your body. Taken in doses under the tongue, each nutrient is absorbed directly through the mucous membranes of the mouth, completely bypassing the stomach and digestive tract. The serum quickly infuses your system and optimizes the delivery of amino acids into the muscles. You'll have the power, the strength and the ingredients of the best body you've ever built.
The Glutamine Advantage
Amino acids are the building blocks of life and are fundamental to muscle growth and performance. L-Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid found in skeletal muscle and is responsible for maintaining cellular volume. Providing the body with an adequate supply of glutamine prevents the natural breakdown of muscle caused by intense weight training. The level of glutamine is also vital to the effectiveness of creatine. The higher the level of glutamine, the easier it is for creatine and other amino acids to enter the muscle cells. This in turn promotes growth and increases the body's rate of protein synthesis.
Dosage Directions
The glutamine level in your muscles should be as high as possible. This will induce and support the muscle growth needed during and after a heavy workout. Glutamine cannot be produced by the body fast enough to support regular intense training. As a result it is recommended to take Xtra Creatine Serum with Glutamine before and after a workout, along with protein and other essential anti-oxidants. This encourages a faster recovery and prevents damage done by free radicals.
You're pumping hard to get that goal. We want to help you get there, safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is creatine monohydrate, and where does it come from?
A naturally occurring metabolite found in red muscle tissue. It is a powerful energy conversion molecule that plays an important role in creating muscle energy by converting ATP into ADP allowing for more intense activity. Creatine is normally obtained from foods we eat, the best sources being meat and fish.
How is the ATP Energy Cycle related to creatine?
- Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP). Ready to supply energy to the muscles.
- ATP releases a phosphate molecule, which creates energy and turns ATP into Adenosine Diphosphate(ADP).
- Creatine phosphate gives up its phosphate molecule to ADP which changes it back into ATP.
- Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP). The cycle starts over again until creatine phosphate supply is diminished.
Why use a creatine supplement if our bodies produce it naturally?
Your body produces a limited amount of creatine that may not be adequate for your exercise regimen. Adding creatine supplementation to your diet can aid in extending peak athletic performance for longer periods. Creatine also permits damaged muscle tissue to work harder during therapy and rebuild itself to a normal state.
What is Creatine Serum and what benefits does it provide?
Creatine Serum is a safe, stable, and solubilized liquid form of creatine monohydrate. There are 9 different variations of the serum, each contain additional beneficial ingredients. Each formula varies.
Creatine Serum helps provide energy to assist your muscles in movement. It gives you this boost of energy by recharging your ATP (adenosine triphosphate) so you can exercise more intensely. Using Creatine Serum in conjunction with a regular exercise routine contributes to increased muscle size. Creatine Serum causes your muscles to grow when you exercise regularly. Our Serum is a soluble and bioavailable form of creatine. This means that it is absorbed into the bloodstream and muscles almost immediately. It works this quickly because it doesn't pass through the digestive system. Consequently, you should feel its effects within minutes after taking it.
When and why was Creatine Serum introduced into the market?
Creatine Serum was introduced shortly after the introduction of creatine supplementation. Numerous medical articles had been published about the side effects of creatine on the liver and kidneys. Athletes wanted a safer, easier-to-take alternative, so MMUSA developed a solubilized liquid creatine to give customers the benefits of creatine without the side effects.
What is the right dosage of the serum to take? When and how do I administer?
The recommended dosage for the average person is 5mL (1 teaspoon) taken a few minutes before a workout. Larger individuals doing intense workouts may decide they need up to 10mL. Larger amounts may keep you energized beyond your workout, but your body has a limited capacity to absorb creatine, therefore once the body takes what it needs, additional doses are probably a waste of money and product.
Each 5mL serving provides enough creatine for one workout. In addition, you will receive benefits from the other ingredients included in our formulations. The Serum is totally safe even if it is taken in large amounts. However, as we stated earlier, that's not necessary. It's so safe because it's water-soluble, meaning that your body will absorb what it can and any excess dosage is easily excreted out by the body without the risk of precipitation into the kidneys. Creatine Serum should be taken 5-10 minutes prior to exercise.
Who can NOT take Creatine Serum?
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding
- Diabetics
- Persons suffering from high blood pressure
- Any persons suffering any health conditions or using additional medications should consult a physician prior to using our products
Will I suffer from any side effects after using Creatine Serum?
No. The Serum is a safe alternative to other forms of creatine. It was created to eliminate side effects. All the ingredients are soluble and stable, and will not conflict with your normal activities or diet.
We are proud to report that since its introduction, many thousands of athletes have used our products. No side effects of any kind have been reported.
How long is Creatine Serum's shelf life?
Creatine Serum is stable and effective for two years.
Can I take other vitamins and supplements with the Creatine Serum?
All our Serums contain additional vitamins and supplements. However, a personal daily requirement of vitamins should be maintained as well.
How does your Serum differ from other creatine "liquid form" products?
The products that claim to be a "liquid creatine" are just creatine powder suspended in liquid. Suspension is a word that describes particles floating in liquid, whether it be water, glycol, aloe vera or any other fluid. The suspended creatine will go through the body allowing less than .1% to be absorbed by the body and the rest will become waste product. These so-called liquid creatine preparations are not dissolved, water-soluble creatine. Simply placing the creatine in liquid doesn't benefit the delivery of creatine, because the body will only absorb creatine in a completely dissolved, water-soluble form. It's because the creatine is present as a suspension that the directions call for vigorous shaking. These other liquid versions also contain high sugar contents. For example, one product claims on their nutritional facts label to have no sugars, when in fact it contains 70%. The label misleads the consumer by renaming sugar in other words such as monosaccharides, polysaccharides and isomalts.
Can I drink alcohol or caffeine while supplementing with Creatine Serum?
We do not recommend either within the same time frame.
Does Creatine Serum show up in drug testing?
We can tell you this, each organization has guidelines and we suggest you consult with your coach about the guidelines in your organization. We can tell you that the Olympic Committee has not banned any ingredient that we have put into our serum. That many athletes in the Olympics supplemented with creatine. We do also assure you that we have labeled all ingredients that are in the serum.
Can I combine your products?
It is safe to combine our products as they complement each other well. Just something to keep in mind, the body is only able to absorb so much creatine, thats why we suggest a maximum of 10mL a day (2 servings). This is not due to safety, but due to the fact that taking more would be a waste of product and money.
Why do ingredients and product names differ between Canada and the US, are Canadian products less effective?
Canada and the US have completely separate governing bodies when it comes to sanctioning and approving products. Therefore, Canada has certain regulations on ingredients in combination with each other. All the products are very similar in ingredient contents, and their effectiveness is virtually identical.
