Product Rating:

Allows You to Train Harder with Greater Intensity and Recover Faster!

What: CREATINE SELECT is a scientifically advanced formulation combining the most studied, bioavailable and proven form of creatine in the world reinforced by ß-alanine, electrolyte-bound phosphates and cinnamon bark extract.

Each ingredient in new CREATINE SELECT has been tested and reviewed for purity and carefully balanced for maximum pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic impact. Finally, Beverly’s R&D scientists left no stone unturned in making CREATINE SELECT the very best tasting formula of its kind!

Who: CREATINE SELECT is intended for use by men and women who works out with weights (resistance exercise) in an effort improve their physique; or who wishes to improve their performance in any other kind of high-intensity exercise such as mixed martial arts, sprinting, interval training, etc.

Why: CREATINE SELECT will allow you to train harder with greater intensity and recover faster using the most studied, bioavailable (near 100%) and proven form of creatine in the world bolstered by ß-alanine, electrolyte-bound phosphates and cinnamon bark extract..

New and stronger CREATINE SELECT supports the fastest possible improvements in the appearance and performance of your physique by tackling the principal causes of premature muscle fatigue during high-intensity exercise. These causes most commonly result in a decline in muscle force, shortening velocity and power, all of which CREATINE SELECT helps delay.

New CREATINE SELECT contains ingredients that published scientific studies suggest may safely promote (where (I) = “increase” and (D) = “decrease”):
  • (I)plasma creatine (>15-fold)
  • (I)muscle creatine and phosphocreatine (up to 40%)
  • (I)muscle carnosine (up to 40%)
  • (I)plasma and erythrocyte phosphate
  • (I)mitochondrial function
  • (I)ATP resynthesis
  • (I)delay of muscle failure
  • (D)sensations of fatigue
  • (I)muscle force
  • (I)muscle shortening velocity
  • (I)muscle mean and peak power
  • (I)anaerobic work capacity (up to 3x more than with creatine alone)
  • (I)total lifting volume (>25%)
  • (I)lifting repetitions (>20%)
  • (I)lean body mass (1-2 lb)
  • (I)muscle cross-sectional area (size) (within 6 days)
  • (D)fat mass (body fat) (within 6 days)
  • (I)maximal oxygen uptake
  • (I)muscle cell hydration
  • (I)insulin sensitivity (immediate effects)
  • (I)glucose disposal
  • (I)blood glucose control
  • (I)antioxidant protection
  • (I)cognitive function
  • (I)positive mood (anti-depressive action)
Loading Phase: You will get faster results from New CREATINE SELECT if you start with a loading phase: mix one scoop in 4-6 oz of water and consume 4 times daily (with meals) for the first 5 days. (If over 185 lbs take 5 servings per day for 5 days.)

Maintenance Phase: On training days take 1-2 servings twenty minutes before training. On non training days take one serving with your first meal.

Let's face it. There are enough training and nutrition theories to fill a complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica's. But realms of muscle building philosophy really come down to just one thing. You must overload your muscles by progressive exercise in order to grow.

Milo of Croton is credited with this discovery. Milo lifted and carried an infant calf each day from one end of his pasture to the other. As the calf grew so did Milo's strength and muscle size. By the time the calf was a full-grown bull Milo was the biggest and strongest guy in the land. Fact or fiction? Who knows? What's important is Milo set the stage for progressive weight training as we know it today. To get bigger and stronger you must progressively add weight to the bar. It's really that simple. At first, anyway. Then progress halts. You might add weight to the bar but your reps drop. Maybe if you rest a little longer between sets you can get the reps...

It happens to all of us. We reach a plateau. Muscle and strength gains stop. I'm in the same boat as you. I've been training since I was fourteen. What I've learned about training and nutrition in the forty plus years since could fill a book. But progressive training still comes down to just three variables increase the weight on the bar, increase the number of reps without decreasing the weight, or rest less between sets. If you progress in any of these three variables, muscle gains will follow given proper nutrition.

Nutrition wasn't my problem. After all I own Beverly International. We make the highest quality products in the industry and I have access to all of them. My problem is sticking to my diet and supplement schedule while a million and one things pull me every which way. I need something easy. Something to help me make strength gains and something to help me recover faster between sets so I can reduce my training time without decreasing volume or intensity. You've got to remember I was already taking high tech Beverly formulas. My nutrition was kind of maxed out by now. So what else was left for me to do?

I'd been looking at various creatine formulas out there and I was utterly unimpressed. Some of the best selling products out there have nearly ten times as much sugar as actual creatine. Sure it will spike your insulin. So will cotton candy. Sugar makes you fat! Period. There is no way Beverly's going to put all that sugar into a creatine "transport" system. Next I looked at insulin support nutrients. I was still unconvinced. Why pay for what you don't need.

Then one day it hit me... Creatine Phosphate, Duh! Sure, I knew the creatine phosphate molecule was too large to be absorbed and that's why we use pure 100% pharmacological grade Creatine Monohydrate at Beverly. But, it didn't dawn on me until now that we could combine select creatine monohydrate with selected phosphates in the proper ratio to achieve a product that would increase strength, endurance and muscle size.

Not Creatine Phosphate But... Creatine Monohydrate PLUS Phosphates.

Now it was time to do the research. Here's what I found: Hundreds of research studies on the benefits of creatine monohydrate and phosphates individually and two very significant studies where creatine and phosphates were combined. The creatine plus phosphate group had a significant increase in muscle power. This translates to more weight on the bar. (Wallace et al, 1997.) The combination of creatine plus phosphates out performed the creatine only group by nearly 300% in aerobic work capacity, i.e. more reps in the gym with the same weight. (Eckerson, 2001.)

So I had our lab find the correct ratio of creatine and the specific phosphates used in the research. Then, without me even knowing they added an excellent orange flavor and a small amount of an extremely high-grade maltodextrin. (They know that I don't like simple sugar so they used a predominantly five-chain saccharide which is classified as a complex carb.) I received sample A and sample B. The first thing we did was conduct a taste test. The lab used the same research proven creatine to phosphate ratio but varied only the flavoring ingredients. Sample B won hands down. So that was what we decided to use in our field study.

Then, I decided to "hog" the product. For five days I loaded sample B? servings per day. A serving is one 12g scoop. And the scoop actually reaches the bottom of the jar. By the third day I was already noticing my rest periods were getting shorter and shorter between sets. Then after the loading phase I took just one scoop (sometimes two) before training. My weights and reps kept going up. Now I've used creatine before and I certainly have been training long enough to know when something is out of the ordinary. Here I am, fifty-five years old and getting stronger. What's up with that?

        Comments about Beverly International Creatine Select, 500 Grams:

        I RECENTLY GOT BACK INTO THE GYM AFTER EXTENSIVE SHOULDER SURGERY. BEVERLY CREATINE SELECT WAS SUGGESTED TO ME AS AN AID TO HELP WITH ENERGY, MUSCLE ENDURANCE, AND RECOVERY. I WAS SKEPTICAL BECAUSE I HAD TRIED OTHER CREATINES YEARS AGO, AND THEY DID NOTHING FOR ME. I WAS AWARE OF BEVERLY'S REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND INNOVATION SINCE THE LATE 60'S, AND I WAS LOOKING FOR ANY HELP I COULD GET, SO I TRIED THE CREATINE SELECT. I FEEL THAT IT HAS HELPED ME WITH MUSCLE RECOVERY, ENDURANCE, AND STRENGTH. WHEN MY SHOULDER REHAB ENDED IN LATE MAY, I WENT BACK TO MY GYM ABLE TO DO A 150LB BENCH POST SHOULDER REHAB, AND I BEGAN AN 8 WEEK PROGRAM TO GET MY BENCH BACK TO 300LBS. IT WORKED! I FEEL AS IF THE CREATINE SELECT WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MY GETTING TO THAT GOAL. I AM NOW WORKING TOWARDS A 400LB BENCH! IN CASE YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS EARLIER, I AM 55 YEARS OLD. AT MY AGE, MUSCLE RECOVERY IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN MY TRAINING. CREATINE SELECT IS GREAT! I WOULDN'T USE ANY OTHER BRAND.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        This is a great product for a young person who wants to gain muscle size and strength, but unfortunately I would not recommend this or any creatine product to someone who is hypertensive or borderline hypertensive as it can cause a rise in systemic blood pressure as it did for me.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

        I use this before every workout. It gives an energy boost and you can feel it building mass while lifting. The taste is good and there are no side effects that I have encountered.

        If you mix with cold water it takes a little while to dissolve completely. I mix with warm water and it dissolves instantly.
