Creatine
Benefits of Creatine
- Physical performance*
- Muscle strength (adults over 55)*
- Form: Monohydrate Powder
- Food source: There are no vegan food sources of creatine. The body makes its own from amino acids found in protein-rich foods such as lentils, quinoa, nuts and seeds.
What is Creatine?
Creatine is a compound the body makes itself, mainly in the liver and kidneys, from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. Most of it is stored in our muscles.
What does Creatine do?
Creatine is best known in the gym. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.* It does this by increasing the energy readily available to your muscles, which is why it's so popular for short, intense activities like weightlifting, sprinting or HIIT. Creatine also matters as we age: daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55 years.*
Beyond the gym, researchers have also studied creatine in relation to brain function, including memory and mental energy.
*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of creatine; for adults over 55, in combination with resistance training.
