Collection: How Creatine Works
Creatine is one of the worlds most researched and trusted supplements, regularly used by everyone from Olympic athletes to gym-goers.
It has been scientifically proven to increase physical performance during short-term, high intensity, repeated exercise bouts making it ideal companion to a wide spectrum of sports and training styles.
It is a substance that is found naturally in muscle cells which helps your muscles produce energy.
How it works
When you supplement creatine, you increase your stores of phosphocreatine. This is a form of stored energy in the cells which helps your body produce more of a high-energy molecule called ATP.
If you have more ATP, your body can perform better during exercise.
- You will find that your recovery between sets will improve which means the amount and effort you can put in while training will increase. This = more gains in size and strength overtime.
- It increases cell hydration by lifting water content within your muscle cells, which causes a cell volume effect which may play a role in muscle growth.
- It reduces protein breakdown and may increase total muscle mass by reducing muscle breakdown.
A review in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning showed that adding creatine to a training programme increased weightlifting performance by 14% in that particular study. Alongside this review there is lots of evidence showing an average of a 5% improvement, which is not to be sniffed at.
Our CREATINE MONOHYDRATE is completely unadulterated and 100% Micronised designed for optimum absorption.
It has also been HPLC tested, analysed for purity & manufactured within the UK.
