Description

Overview of Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine Monohydrate is the most extensively studied supplement for enhancing exercise performance and maintaining muscle mass as we age. Each scoop delivers 5 g of micronized creatine in an unflavored, unsweetened powder that dissolves quickly. Thanks to the micronized technology, this formula enhances absorption, digestibility, and bioavailability. As a result, it proves highly effective for athletes, older individuals, and those on plant-based diets who may lack enough creatine-rich foods.

Formula Highlights

  • 5 g of micronized creatine per scoop
  • Micronized technology for superior bioavailability, absorption, and solubility
  • Neutral taste with no artificial flavors or sweeteners
  • Convenient powder form for flexible dosing
  • Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and non-GMO

 

How Creatine Supports Muscle Function

Creatine plays a vital role in muscle contraction, primarily storing itself in type 2 muscle fibers. It supports ATP production, which fuels muscle performance. Since muscle mass directly impacts the body’s creatine production, supplementation becomes crucial for those who do not consume enough creatine-rich foods. Therefore, creatine supplementation increases ATP production, enhancing exercise performance and muscle growth, especially during high-intensity activities.

Exercise Performance & Muscle Hypertrophy

Creatine monohydrate remains the most effective supplement for boosting exercise capacity and promoting lean body mass. Numerous studies consistently demonstrate that creatine increases muscle creatine levels, improves ATP production, and enhances anaerobic exercise performance. This supplementation benefits both athletes and non-athletes alike. Additionally, research shows that creatine supplementation leads to improvements in strength, muscle mass, and recovery, especially when combined with resistance training and sprint performance.

Supporting Healthy Aging & Brain Function

As individuals age, creatine levels naturally decline, leading to muscle mass and strength loss. However, supplementation helps preserve both muscle mass and strength. Research reveals that older adults who supplement with creatine experience significant increases in lean body mass and muscle strength. Furthermore, creatine may reduce bone resorption and enhance bone density. In addition to its physical benefits, creatine supports brain health by boosting ATP and creatine levels in the brain. This boost may aid cognitive function and provide neuroprotective benefits, especially in cases of aging or brain injury.

What is Micronized Creatine Monohydrate?

Micronized creatine is a form of creatine monohydrate that undergoes a special process to reduce particle size. This reduction increases the surface area, improving absorption and solubility. Consequently, the formula dissolves quickly in liquid and avoids the common side effects typically associated with traditional creatine monohydrate.

Benefits

  • Supports muscle growth, strength, and recovery
  • Promotes healthy body composition and lean muscle mass
  • Enhances brain and cognitive function
  • Contributes to healthy aging

Recommended Dose

Mix 5 g (approx. 1 scoop) in 8-10 oz of water, 1-4 times per day. Start with 5 g 3-4 times per day for 5-7 days, then follow with 5 g daily for maintenance. Always consult a healthcare practitioner for personalized dosing based on goals and medical history.
