Creatine monohydrate is the original “cell volumizer”. That’s because it pulls water into the muscle cells which forces them to swell in size. This is typically referred to as “water-based muscle pumps”. This phenomenon provides various benefits such as enhanced muscle hydration and greater protein synthesis stimulation. This in turn leads to more muscle growth.⁽¹⁾

Studies have suggested that creatine monohydrate promotes muscle mass, strength, and performance. Adding a creatine supplement such as Code Red Series Creatine to a resistance exercise program has increased strength by 8%, performance by 14%, and bench press one-rep max by up to 43% compared to training without creatine.^(2,3,4)

^{How does creatine monohydrate extend endurance? It’s naturally stored in your muscles as creatine phosphate and is part of the ATP-CP energy system (sometimes called the “Phosphagen System”). Your muscles use this system for short bursts of exercise, such as intense resistance exercise. As the immediate energy source for your muscles during your workouts, ATP becomes depleted after 8–10 seconds. Creatine can help produce more ATP, which lets you push for a few reps more.(5)}

Provides 158 mg of Creatine and 92 mg of Malic Acid

This is a combination of Creatine and Malic Acid. It has all the benefits of creatine monohydrate, while malic acid further supports ATP production. 

Provides 100 mg if Creatine and 150 mg of Citric Acid

This combines Creatine and Citric Acid, which is part of the Krebs Cycle, also called the Citric Acid Cycle. It’s another energy system, and it primarily converts food into ATP energy for the body. It also supports the synthesis of amino acids and fatty acids.⁽⁶⁾
