What is it?

Creatine monohydrate is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells. It plays a critical role in energy production during high-intensity exercise. Our creatine is micronised (200 mesh) for superior solubility and absorption. It is the most extensively researched sports nutrition supplement, with over 500 peer-reviewed studies confirming its safety and efficacy.

Why use it?

Creatine supplementation increases phosphocreatine stores in muscles, providing more immediate energy for explosive movements like sprints, heavy lifts, and high-intensity intervals. Creatine is widely used to support performance during high‑intensity training and to enhance the quality of strength‑focused workouts over time. It is effective for all training levels, from beginners to elite athletes.

How it works

During intense exercise, your muscles use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as their primary energy currency. ATP is rapidly depleted within seconds of maximal effort. Creatine donates a phosphate group to regenerate ATP from ADP, allowing you to sustain high-intensity effort for longer. This translates to more reps, heavier loads, and greater training stimulus — the drivers of muscle and strength adaptation.

How to use

Add ~5g to your shake, smoothie, or beverage of choice. Mix well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to load creatine?

Loading (20g/day for 5–7 days) saturates stores faster, but is not necessary. A consistent daily dose of 3–5g will fully saturate muscle creatine stores within 3–4 weeks. Daily maintenance is simpler and equally effective long-term.

Does creatine cause water retention?

Creatine draws water into muscle cells (intracellular hydration), which can cause a small weight increase of 1–2kg in the first week. This is not subcutaneous water retention or bloating — it is water inside the muscle, which actually supports muscle function and appearance.

Is creatine safe long-term?

Yes. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements in history with an excellent safety profile. Long-term studies (up to 5 years) show no adverse effects in healthy individuals. It is endorsed by the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

When should I take creatine?

Timing is not critical — consistency matters most. Take 3–5g daily at any time. Many people add it to their post-workout shake for convenience, as the insulin spike from carbohydrates may slightly enhance uptake.

Is creatine only for bodybuilders?

No. Creatine benefits any activity involving short, intense efforts — football, rugby, sprinting, CrossFit, cycling sprints, and even cognitive function. Research also shows benefits for older adults in maintaining muscle mass and strength.
