About Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate is the most heavily researched supplement for building muscle, increasing muscle size, reducing muscular fatigue and increasing muscular endurance.
It's been supported by research for more than 25 years as the most effective supplement for increasing muscular performance.
Supplementing with creatine monohydrate supports the body’s ATP energy systems which are used for muscle contractions and explosive energy.
Creatine Monohydrate FAQs
What does Creatine do?
Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective supplements that helps improve energy production ().
It is used in the generation of ATP where it donates phosphocreatine to ADP, regenerating it to ATP. ATP is the fuel used for muscular contractions in high output activities.
What is the recommended dose size of Creatine?
A typical dose of Creatine is 0.03 grams per kg of bodyweight which is equivalent to 2.4 grams a day for an 80kg person.
Most Creatine users find benefits in ‘loading’ Creatine with doses up to five times the standard dose.
What are the benefits of Creatine loading?
Your muscles have a capacity for how much creatine can be stored (). While approximately 2.4 grams a day is optimal for keeping these levels topped up, 'loading' allows you to reach the peak levels much more quickly than when starting with a lower dose. Think of your muscles like a Creatine fuel tank. If you load first, the tank is full, so every time you add more you are topping it up to the brim.
Do I need to load Creatine?
Loading of Creatine is not necessary; however, it will mean that maximum benefits will be gained sooner than when no loading takes place.
Is Creatine safe?
Creatine has been very heavily researched and is often misunderstood. There were wrongful reports of kidney damage as people weren't aware that creatine increases creatinine levels — a marker used to identify kidney health. However, there is no long-term evidence that suggests it affects kidney health (). When it comes to using Creatine, the main concern lies with the short-term gastrointestinal issues some face.
Is Creatine bad for kidneys?
There is no long-term evidence of Creatine having a negative effect on kidneys. This is often misunderstood as creatine use means more creatinine is produced as a by-product.
Can Creatine help build muscle mass?
Yes, Creatine is considered one of the most effective supplements for building muscle (. It has a clear effect on power output with increases of around 10% quite common. Creatine causes weight gain both by the addition of water weight and increased muscle size ().
Will Creatine give me cramps?
No. In fact, evidence exists to the contrary (). Creatine may enhance performance in hot and humid conditions by maintaining haematocrit (red blood cell ratio), helping thermoregulation and reducing heart rate.
