Creatine Monohydrate
(25 of 67)What is creatine monohydrate?
Creatine monohydrate is the most common and studied form of creatine in sports nutrition. Creatine is a substance naturally present in the body and in some foods, involved in the energy system linked to phosphocreatine (ATP). This is why it is one of the most chosen supplements among people who practise strength sports and high-intensity activities.
What is the difference between creatine monohydrate and Creapure®?
Among creatine monohydrate products you will also find those with the Creapure® brand, a raw material known for its high degree of purity, and micronized versions, processed to support better solubility. Many products are also suitable for those following a vegan diet and are formulated without gluten and lactose.
What is the dosage and when should you take creatine?
Creatine monohydrate is commonly taken in doses of around 3-5 g per day, sometimes preceded by an initial loading phase. It can be taken before or after training and is available in powder and capsules. The way it is taken may vary depending on goals and the manufacturer's instructions. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise; the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.
