Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine can significantly increase strength, endurance, concentration and recovery, while helping support your immune system. Found naturally in muscle tissue, Creatine is a vital part of the energy cycle for anaerobic muscle contraction.

Creatine saturates muscles with a high-energy compound called Creatine Phosphate, which is used as an energy supply during intense and explosive exercise. Muscle cells require hydration to promote fiber  growth, and Creatine helps facilitate this.

Features:

• Increases muscle strength and power
• Enhances muscle energy stores
• Improves recovery time

How creatine helps muscles 

Muscle contraction requires huge bursts of ATP.

• sprinting
• heavy lifting
• jumping
• explosive sports

But muscles only store 2–3 seconds of ATP.

Creatine increases phosphocreatine storage, which allows:

Faster ATP regeneration

• You can produce energy for explosive movements longer.

Higher training output and more:

• reps
• power
• sprint performance

Cell hydration

• Creatine pulls water into muscle cells
• increases cell volume
• may trigger anabolic signalling

There are a couple of ways to take Creatine Monohydrate. Check which one best suits you:

• Take up to one 5g serve (one heaped scoop) of Creatine four times daily during a loading phase for one week. After the loading phase, take up to one 5g serve once per day for three weeks to maintain optimal Creatine levels. Cycle off for one week and repeat the cycle.
• Depending on body weight, take 15g to 25 g in up to 5g doses for three days then go thedays without and repeat the cycle.
• Take 3-10g daily
