USN Creatine Transport

USN Creatine Transport 650g — NITROCOR™ Stack With High-GI Carbs

Creatine Transport is built around a delivery problem rather than a dosing one. Each serve provides 7,000mg of the NITROCOR™ Creatine Amino Stack — creatine monohydrate at 4,394mg plus L-taurine and L-glutamine — alongside 31g of high-glycaemic carbohydrate engineered to drive those ingredients into muscle cells quickly. 650g. In stock at TopDog Nutrition.

The Insulin Mechanism, Explained Properly

This is the whole point of the product, and it's worth understanding rather than taking on trust.

Creatine doesn't enter muscle cells on its own. It's transported across the cell membrane by a creatine transporter protein, and that transporter's activity is upregulated by insulin.

High-glycaemic carbohydrate raises blood glucose fast, which triggers an insulin response, which increases creatine uptake into muscle. Research on co-ingesting creatine with carbohydrate shows meaningfully greater muscle creatine accumulation than creatine taken alone.

The same insulin response also drives amino acid uptake, which is why taurine and glutamine are in the stack rather than sold separately.

What's in the Stack

• Creatine Monohydrate (4,394mg) — the performance ingredient. Regenerates ATP during maximal effort, supporting strength, power and lean muscle development.
• L-Taurine — an osmolyte supporting cell volumisation alongside creatine, plus a role in transporting the electrolytes muscle contraction depends on.
• L-Glutamine — the most abundant free amino acid in the body and the one depleted fastest under heavy training load. Supports muscle recovery, and is the primary fuel for the cells lining your intestine.
• High-glycaemic carbohydrate (31g) — the transport mechanism, and genuine post-training glycogen replenishment in its own right.

Where It Fits, and Where It Doesn't

Creatine Transport is a post-workout product. The 31g of fast carbohydrate is both the delivery system and recovery fuel, which is exactly what you want after training and exactly what you don't want if you're cutting.

If you're in a deficit and counting carbohydrate closely, plain Pure Creatine Monohydrate gives you the creatine without the 31g. You'll reach full saturation either way; carbohydrate co-ingestion accelerates the process rather than being required for it.

In a building phase, where you want the carbohydrate anyway, Transport does two jobs in one scoop.

Directions

Mix one serve with water as directed, immediately after training when muscles are most receptive to both glycogen uptake and creatine transport.

Take it daily, including rest days. Creatine works through accumulated muscle saturation rather than acute dosing, and skipping rest days is the most common reason people get less from it than they should.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the carbohydrate actually improve creatine uptake?

Yes, and the mechanism is established. Insulin upregulates the creatine transporter, and research on co-ingestion shows greater muscle creatine accumulation than creatine alone. It accelerates saturation rather than being essential to it.

Is 4,394mg enough creatine?

It's close to the standard 5g maintenance dose, and the carbohydrate-driven uptake is designed to offset the difference. If you want a full 5g, take plain creatine alongside it or on rest days.

Will the 31g of carbs affect a cut?

It's roughly 124 calories of carbohydrate per serve, which has to fit your daily budget. If carbs are tight, use plain creatine instead.

Can I take it on rest days?

Yes, and you should for saturation. If the carbohydrate doesn't suit a rest day, take plain creatine instead on those days.

How many serves in 650g?

Check the label, since the serve size is large given the carbohydrate content.
