    Abstract: A problem with optimizing the effects of creatine has been the need to utilize large amounts of high glycemic carbohydrates to spike insulin in order to augment the flow of creatine (and other nutrients) into the muscle cell. Based upon current research, an insulin response strong enough to ensure absorption is possible without the need for dramatic carbohydrate load. Utilizing anthocyanins, such as cyanidin-3-glycoside and other potentiators, creatine can be absorbed by the muscles without overloading the system with excess calories from glucose (carbohydrates). U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20040224035, a considerably lower daily intake of carbohydrates is necessary to achieve creatine absorption.
