What is Creatine?

Creatine, the Most Studied Supplement Ever

When it comes to supplements for performance and muscle building, creatine stands in a class of its own. It's not just popular among gym bros and athletes; it's also one of the most researched supplements in the world. Over 1,000 scientific studies have confirmed its effectiveness, safety, and broad range of uses. In short, there's a reason why creatine is a staple in so many training routines.

What exactly is creatine?

Creatine is a natural substance found in the body, primarily stored in the muscles. It helps produce ATP, the body's primary energy source for short, intense activities like strength training and sprinting. Although the body produces creatine itself, and you get a certain amount through meat and fish, it's difficult to reach optimal levels without supplementation.

Proven effect, time and again

Science is clear: creatine works. Studies show it can:

  • Increase muscle mass and strength
  • Improve explosiveness and performance
  • Speed up recovery
  • Contribute to increased cell volume in the muscles, that full, pumped feeling

And it doesn't stop there. Newer research suggests that creatine may also have cognitive benefits, such as improved memory and mental endurance.

Is it safe?

Creatine has been used for over 30 years in sports and training. There is no evidence that it is dangerous when taken as recommended. It is, therefore, one of the few supplements where both results and safety are well-documented.

How to take it?

The standard dose is 3 to 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per day. It matters less whether you take it before or after training. The most important thing is to take it regularly. You don't need to load up with high doses, but some people do to more quickly fill their muscles' creatine stores.

Easier than ever to take

Previously, powder was the most common option. Today, creatine is also available as capsules, chewable tablets, and our favorite, gummies. They are convenient, tasty, and already pre-dosed. No clumps, no shaking, no hassle. Just gains.
