The benefits of creatine monohydrate have been extensively researched and it is well known that it contributes to improved performance, strength, ATP supply as an energy source for cells, and performance during high-intensity training.
- Increased strength and explosiveness – Creatine increases ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores, which is the main energy source for short, intense performances – e.g. sprints, weightlifting, or interval training.
- Faster muscle mass gain – It improves the ability to train harder and recover, thereby supporting the growth of muscle fibers. Additionally, it increases the volume of muscle cells (hydration), making muscles appear fuller.
- Better recovery – It helps to restore energy in the muscles more quickly after intense training and may reduce muscle fiber damage.
- Improvement in performance during repeated exertion – It allows for maintaining high intensity of performance even during multiple sets or intervals.
- Support for cognitive functions (brain) – Newer studies show that creatine may also improve mental performance, concentration, and resistance to brain fatigue.
