What is creatine?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements in sports. It is found naturally in animal foods such as fish and red meat. The body also makes it, mainly in the liver and kidneys, from three amino acids: glycine, arginine and methionine. About 95% of creatine is then stored in skeletal muscle.
How does it work?
During low- or moderate-intensity activity, the body’s main energy source is glycogen, which comes from carbohydrates. During short, intense efforts — a sprint, a set of lifting — the body draws on ATP and phosphocreatine instead. The higher your creatine stores, the faster you can regenerate that energy and sustain intense efforts.
What are the benefits?
- Improved maximum strength.
- Increased muscle mass, when combined with training.
- More power and performance during sessions.
How much should you take?
Follow the label directions: with our Createk G01 creatine, that is 5 g in 250 ml of juice on an empty stomach, plus another serving before training. On rest days, a single 5 g serving is enough.
