What Is Creatine Monohydrate?

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched sporting supplements on the market today, and for good reason too! Scientists and sports nutritionists all advocate this proven supplement for athletes undertaking high-intensity exercise and sport.

Creatine is found mostly in skeletal muscle in the body, but only in small amounts. Fortunately, it can be derived from foods such as meat and fish, or through consuming a creatine supplement.

Although not widely talked about, Creatine is actually an amino acid, which are known as the building blocks of protein. It is a natural substance that is rapidly absorbed in the body.

Creatine Monohydrate Benefits

Creatine is stored within the muscle to a limited capacity. It is a molecule that plays a crucial role in the production of energy during high-intensity muscle contractions over a 1-10 second period. Think sprinting or lifting a weight all out.

When we intensely exert ourselves, creatine can be the limiting factor in energy production. Creatine is used in the cells of our muscle to help regenerate energy, but there is only so much available, taking up to 4 minutes to be fully restored. That's where creatine monohydrate comes in. If we can increase creatine stores, we can improve our body's capacity to perform.

Creatine Monohydrate benefits range from contributing to increased muscle mass, improving energy levels, improving strength and overall improving physical performance in successive bursts of short-term high-intensity exercise.

Who Is Creatine Monohydrate For?

Q. When should I use Creatine Monohydrate?

A. It depends on your lifestyle and goals, we recommend following our recommended usage guidelines.

Q. What is Creatine?

A. Creatine is a compound made naturally by the body which is used as the primary form of energy for the muscles.

Q. Can I get Creatine form natural whole foods?

A. Yes, many foods naturally contain Creatine, such as tuna, salmon and beef. However, the Creatine content in these foods is considered below the dosage recommended in studies that would bring about an improved performance such as an increase in strength.

Q. I have heard that you need to drink lots of water when taking Creatine Monohydrate?

A. When taking Creatine Monohydrate, try to consume as much water as possible. If you are not correctly hydrated, then Creatine Monohydrate will not be properly absorbed, resulting in poor results.

Q. Is it essential that I have a "Loading Phase" when supplementing with Creatine Monohydrate?

A. Some studies have shown that if you do choose to load, then it helps you reach muscle creatine saturation point much quicker than if you didn't go through loading phase. However, others would argue you don't need to do this and results can be achieved without it. Therefore we recommend you trial both and see which supplement protocol your body responds to best.

Q. What is the difference between powdered and tablet forms of Creatine Monohydrate?

A. Powdered Creatine is absorbed more rapidly by the bloodstream compared to that of a pill. Pills tend to have coatings on them so this slows down the absorption rate.

Q. Is all Creatine Monohydrate the same no matter what brand you use?

A. As with so many things in life, if you don't ask the right questions, you won't get the right answers! The quality of ingredient can vary significantly and therefore the potency will do too. In addition, just because a product may be called pure it doesn't mean that it necessarily is. We recommend you read the ingredients and nutritionals on the label to better understand exactly what you are buying. We can assure you that our products are 100% pure. At Protein Works we are committed to transparency and openness in all our products.

Q. Is Protein Works Creatine Monohydrate suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

A. Yes, it is suitable for use for both vegans and vegetarians.

Q. Can I use Creatine Monohydrate with other supplements?
