Creatine containing caramel

摘要

The present invention provides a creatine containing caramel composition which increases the efficiency of a creatine dose. Particularly, micronized creatine is uniformly dispersed in a caramel composition having an insulin response enhancing amount of an invert sugar. The average particle size of micronized creatine is smaller than about 200 mesh. Such a size enables the gastrointestinal tract to absorb a greater percentage of the creatine than normally sized creatine. Additionally, the reduced particle size works in conjunction with the insulin response provoked by the sugar to allow the greater absorption of creatine by the muscle cells. Additionally, the present invention presents a method of reducing or eliminating a bitter taste caused by micronized creatine. Particularly, the micronized creatine is uniformly dispersed in a caramel composition containing a sufficient amount of invert sugar to reduce or eliminate any bitter taste or after taste.
