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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
