Abstract

A composition and method is provided for supporting multiple aspects of mammalian energy producing systems. Creatine, a key substance for energy production, is provided along with a substance to enhance the uptake of creatine and vitamins and minerals involved in energy metabolism. The compositions may further comprise additional components with anabolic and antioxidant activity. The compositions are suitable for supplementing the diet of individuals engaging in physical activity, particularly intense physical activity.

Claims

1. A composition comprising creatine or derivatives of creatine, at least one insulin support substance and a vitamin-mineral mix.

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the insulin support substance is selected from the group consisting of:

alpha-lipoic acid, ketoisocaproate, D-pinitol, Protogen A, taurine, and respective derivatives thereof.

3. The composition of claim 2, wherein from about 1% by weight to about 10% by weight of the creatine or derivatives of creatine and the vitamin-mineral mix is fine-milled.

4. The composition of claim 3, wherein the vitamin-mineral mix comprises at least one dietary vitamin and at least one dietary mineral.

5. The composition of claim 4, wherein the dietary vitamin is selected from the group consisting of:

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin K2, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, and respective derivatives thereof;

and the dietary mineral is selected from the group consisting of;

calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, selenium, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, sodium, potassium, gold, silver, and respective derivatives thereof.

6. The composition of claim 5, further comprising an anabolic substance selected from the group consisting of:

choline, leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, threonine, carnitine, respective derivatives thereof, and an extract of Agaricus bisporus.

7. The composition of claim 5, further comprising an antioxidant substance.

8. The composition of claim 7, wherein the antioxidant substance selected from the group consisting of:

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, astaxanthin, coenzyme Q9, coenzyme Q10, lutein, N-acetyl cysteine, superoxide dismutase, idebenone, Polygonum cuspidatum;

tomato extract, Ginkgo biloba, grape extract, ginger extract, apple extract, mulberry extract, blueberry extract, bilberry extract, blackberry extract, and acai berry extract;

wherein said antioxidant substance is different than the components of the vitamin-mineral mix and the insulin support substance.

9. A composition comprising:

creatine,

leucine

alpha-lipoic acid

Vitamin C,

Vitamin B3, and

magnesium.

10. A method of supporting cellular energetics in an individual comprising providing to said individual a composition comprising creatine or derivatives of creatine, at least one insulin support substance and a vitamin-mineral mix.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the insulin support substance is selected from the group consisting of:

alpha-lipoic acid, ketoisocaproate, D-pinitol, Protogen A, taurine, and respective derivatives thereof.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein from about 1% by weight to about 10% by weight of the creatine or derivatives of creatine and the vitamin-mineral mix is fine-milled.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the vitamin-mineral mix comprises at least one dietary vitamin and at least one dietary mineral.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the dietary vitamin is selected from the group consisting of:

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin K2, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, and respective derivatives thereof;

and the dietary mineral is selected from the group consisting of;

calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, selenium, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, sodium, potassium, gold, silver, and respective derivatives thereof.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the composition further comprises an anabolic substance selected from the group consisting of:

choline, leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, threonine, carnitine, respective derivatives thereof, and an extract of Agaricus bisporus.

16. The composition of claim 14, further comprising an antioxidant substance.

17. The composition of claim 16, wherein the antioxidant substance selected from the group consisting of:

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, astaxanthin, coenzyme Q9, coenzyme Q10, lutein, N-acetyl cysteine, superoxide dismutase, idebenone, Polygonum cuspidatum;

tomato extract, Ginkgo biloba, grape extract, ginger extract, apple extract, mulberry extract, blueberry extract, bilberry extract, blackberry extract, and acai berry extract.

wherein said antioxidant substance is different than the components of the vitamin-mineral mix and the insulin support substance.
