Nutrex Research Inc. has developed Volu-Gro, which uses 60 grams of a very unique and ultra high-molecular weight carbohydrate called Long Chain Waxy Maize Starch per serving to accelerate creatine transport. Waxy Maize Starch is equally as potent in stimulating insulin as dextrose and maltodextrin, yet unlike these two sugars, Waxy Maize Starch is completely sugar free. Waxy Maize Starch passes through the stomach faster than dextrose or maltodextrin and therefore does not cause any discomfort. In doing so Waxy Maize Starch acts like a pump, pulling creatine and water along with it into the bloodstream. This ensures that creatine and insulin are present in the bloodstream at the same time. A much greater amount of creatine can now be transported into the muscles due to synchronized levels of creatine and insulin in the blood.

Additionally, if taken immediately after training, the Waxy Maize Starch element in Volu-Gro restores muscular glycogen (muscle energy) faster than dextrose or maltodextrin. This makes Volu-Gro the ideal post workout creatine formula since it not only delivers more creatine to the muscles, but also replenishes glycogen stores much quicker causing the muscle cells to become super-hydrated while speeding up recovery more efficiently than any other glucose polymer or monomer (dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose etc.). The overall result is much greater muscle cell volumization, protein synthesis, and nutrient transport; all major factors contributing to enhanced muscle growth. The fusion of creatine with long chain waxy maize starch as seen in Volu-Gro has set a new standard in creatine supplementation.

It is by far the best creatine out there. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No February 07, 2011 Reviewer: Isaac in Armed Forces AP The best I have ever tried! It worked better than Cell Mass and Cell-Tech. Super fast gains and fast recovery times allowed me to do total body workouts every single day. Highly recommend!

Yes  No June 21, 2009 Reviewer: Edward in New Hampshire One of the best attributes of this product is that it mixes up so well and doesn't get all lumpy like others I've tried. I'm 52 and still compete in power lifting meets and I use this product regularly approximately 9 to 10 weeks before the meets to give me that extra edge. This review is specific to Volu-Gro, Fruit Punch Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No September 16, 2008 Reviewer: Isaac in Armed Forces AP Best creatine yet! Works instantly like described on the bottle. Put on 10lbs. in about a week. Taste great and is not acidic, does not burn your throat. This creatine has you wanting to drink it right after your intense workout. Goes down smooth and easy to mix. Can't go wrong with zero sugar. Definitely better than Cell-Tech and has a leg up on CellMass because it is taken in a larger quantity. Best creatine. This review is specific to Volu-Gro, Fruit Punch Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No May 06, 2008 Reviewer: Raymond in Illinois This product will give you fast recovery and strength. I highly recommend it. I used to be really sore about 2 days after a workout but after taking this product I am only a little sore for less than 24 hrs. You also feel your muscles harden and your strength increase with regular use of this product. The more amazing thing is that I only have been taking half of the rec. dosage and am seeing these results. Imagine what would happen on a full dose?

Waxy Maize Starch: Sugar-free ultra-high molecular weight waxy maize starch is the most efficient source to load glycogen and creatine into muscles. Waxy maize starch has an extremely low osmolarity rate and forms a very hypotonic solution when mixed with water. These two factors allow waxy maize starch to pass through the stomach quicker than any other carbohydrate. In doing so it acts like a pump pulling creatine and fluids along with it into the bloodstream. Consisting of 99% amylopectin waxy maize starch causes a prompt and pronounced insulin spike allowing for glucose and creatine to be pressed into muscle cells for instant cell expansion and super-hydration. Creatine and glycogen loading are maximized. Waxy maize starch is the ideal carbohydrate source for post-workout recovery as it replenishes muscular glycogen stores at a lightning fast speed hence optimizing full-body recovery.

Creatine Monohydrate: Creatine supplementation is essential to enhancing the capacity of energy production during high-intensity workouts. Creatine has proven itself, time and time again, to improve exercise performance accounting for gains in strength, power, and repetitive speed work. Long term creatine ingestion also accounts for significant gains in muscle mass accounted for intensity of workouts increasing due to more energy availability and augmentation of myosin heavy chain expression. The harder you train, with increased myogenic regulatory factors from creatine supplementation, the more apt you are to experiencing considerable hypertrophy. Creatine monohydrate has also claimed its remarked absorption capacity (in comparison with other forms of creatine) especially when in conjunction with the ideal carbohydrate source such as ultra-high molecular weight waxy maize starch.

Magnesium: Magnesium makes a significant contribution to the glycogen loading system of Volu-Gro. Muscle and liver glycogen formation from blood glucose is enhanced as a result of magnesium supplementation. Magnesium also serves as an electrolyte, especially when combined with potassium.

Phosphorous: Phosphorous is a significant component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and phosphocreatine. All three are essential to providing energy to the body for all biological processes, enhancing energy provided for exercise performance.

Potassium: Potassium serves as an imperative electrolyte component for efficacious absorption of nutrients as well as clearing waste products from the body. Furthermore, potassium serves to optimize muscle action and stimulation from respective nerve impulses.
