What is it Creatine?
Creatine is a substance found naturally in muscle cells. It helps your muscles produce energy during heavy lifting or high intensity exercise.
Super Creatine is creatine bonded with the essential amino acid, L-Leucine and is trademarked by Bang Energy drink. Bang Energy drinks are promoted as the only water-stable creatine available. And you can only have it in Bang Energy drink. It means that it can easily travel throughout your body and transport nutrients. It can also easily transfer within the blood-brain barrier, according to the claims done by VPX, Bang’s parent company.

I Heart Keto Mart Rating Guide
I Heart Keto Mart rates all ingredients through a “keto diet” & “low carb diet” lens. As an example, peas would be rated as “Acceptable” on a non-keto healthy diet; however, due to their carbohydrate level, we rate them “Objectionable”. We also rate all sweeteners that typically cause a rise in blood sugar and insulin levels as “Objectionable”. If you prefer a natural sweetener, like honey, over a sugar alcohol like erythritol, you may not agree with our “Objectionable” rating. I Heart Keto Mart rates all ingredients based first and foremost for those that have a sugar/carbohydrate addiction. Ingredients are rated for those who must moderate if not completely abstain from any sugars. If you have questions about this, please refer to this article: Why Some Whole Foods Are Not Keto Friendly
