Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched, widely used, and safe performance-enhancing supplements for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and health-minded individuals. Over the last thirty-plus years, hundreds of peer-reviewed studies have shown creatine supplementation effective for boosting muscle and brain energetics.

PhysiVāntage Creatine Monohydrate is pure (i.e. no additives or other ingredients), unflavored, and "micronized" for increased solubility and bioavailability. It's simple to consume mixed in a small glass of water or blended into your favorite protein shake, greens drink, juice, or smoothie.

When used appropriately, daily Creatine supplementation is safe for use by athletes of all ages to augment resistance training and sports performance. Creatine is also a powerful daily supplement for health, wellness, and longevity-minded individuals.

Supplementing with 3 to 5 grams of creatine daily has been shown to: †

  • Increase muscular strength-endurance & power
  • Accelerate recovery between bouts of intense exercise
  • Promote gains in lean muscle mass
  • Improve sports performance involving short- to moderate-duration bursts of high-intensity exertion
  • Enhance cognition, speed of information processing, and memory, especially in times of metabolic stress, sleep deprivation, and with aging.


SUGGESTED USE:

As a daily supplement, mix up to 1 scoop into 8oz of water, and drink immediately. Alternatively, add 1 scoop to your daily smoothie, pre-workout, or recovery drink.

THE SCIENCE:

Creatine is produced in the body at an amount of about 1 g/d, synthesized predominately by the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. The remainder of the creatine available to the body is obtained through the diet at about 1 g/d for an omnivorous diet. 95% of the body's creatine stores are found in the skeletal muscle and the remaining 5% is distributed in the brain, liver, kidney, and testes []. As creatine is predominately present in the diet from meats, vegetarians have lower resting creatine concentrations [].

Creatine is used and researched in a clinical setting to investigate various pathologies or disorders such as myopathies [,] and is also used as an ergogenic aid for improving health and sports performance in athletes []. As an oral supplement, the most widely used and researched form is creatine monohydrate (CM). When orally ingested, CM has shown to improve exercise performance and increase fat free mass [-].

Studies show that Creatine Monohydrate supplementation has positive effects on:

  • Amplifying the effects of resistance training for enhancing strength and hypertrophy [,,].
  • Improving the quality and benefits of high-intensity intermittent speed training [].
  • Improving aerobic endurance performance in trials lasting more than 150 seconds [].
  • Seems to produce positive effects on strength, power, fat-free mass, daily living performance and neurological function in young and older people [].
  • Research on the mechanisms of creatine's effect has progressed since 2007 showing an upregulation of gene expression when creatine is administered together with resistance training exercises.
  • Regarding predominantly aerobic endurance performance, the increased bodies’ creatine stores, seems to amplify favorable physiological adaptations such as: increased plasma volume, glycogen storage, improvements of ventilatory threshold and a possible reduction of oxygen consumption in sub-maximal exercise.

While the typical daily creatine dose is 3 to 5 grams, a "loading" phase of 20 to 25 g CM/d or 0.3 g CM/kg/d split into 4 to 5 daily intakes of 5 g each may be used to quickly saturate creatine stores in the skeletal muscle. After this brief loading phase, continue with  3-5 g CM/d or 0.03 g CM/kg/d to maintain the maximal saturation of body creatine.

It is also noteworthy that creatine retention by the body from supplementation appears to be promoted by about 25% from the simultaneous ingestion of carbohydrate- and/or protein-mediated through an increase in insulin secretion. This combination would produce a faster saturation rate but has not been shown to have a greater effect on performance.
