Creatine
A natural compound that helps supply energy to muscles, popular as a supplement.
Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements for strength and muscle gain. It increases phosphocreatine stores in muscles, allowing more ATP production during high-intensity exercise. This leads to improved strength, power, and muscle growth. Take 3-5g of creatine monohydrate daily - no loading phase required. It is safe for long-term use.
Examples
- 5g creatine monohydrate daily
- 5-10% increase in strength performance
- Creatine causes water retention in muscles
