INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN

Creatine Monohydrate – 5,000 mg

Creatine monohydrate is known as the original “cell volumizer” meaning that it pulls water into the muscles causing them to swell in size. You may have heard this also referred to as “water-based pumps”. The increased cell volume provides several benefits including improved muscle hydration which supports protein synthesis and leads to increased muscle growth!³

Creatine & Performance

Studies show that creatine can support an increase in muscle mass, strength, and exercise performance.^1,4 Adding creatine to a training program has been shown to increase strength by 8%, weightlifting performance by 14%, and bench press one-rep max by up to 43% compared to training alone.⁵

Creatine & ATP Production, Endurance

How does creatine help endurance? It’s stored in the muscles as creatine phosphate and is part of the ATP-CP energy system. This energy system is also called the “Phosphagen System”. Your muscles use the Phosphagen System for short bursts of exercise, such as bodybuilding and weight training. As for ATP, it acts as the immediate energy source for your muscles during these high-intensity workouts. Normally, ATP becomes depleted after 8–10 seconds of high-intensity activity but creatine can help you produce more ATP, allowing you to maintain optimal performance for a few seconds longer.^6,7 Increase your sets and your maximum output farther than you thought possible with this well-studied supplement, Creatine Monohydrate.
