Creatine Monohydrate

What it is

A compound your body already makes and stores in muscle. You also get small amounts from meat and fish.

What it does

Helps your muscles recycle their fast energy (ATP) so you can push harder on short, hard efforts — and recover between them. Supports strength, power, and lean muscle. It's the most-studied sports supplement in the world.

The dose that works

5g a day, every day. It works by keeping your stores full over time — not by timing.

Where it lives in the system

Engine (5g) and the standalone Creatine tub (5g). Daily-use products, because creatine is a daily-use ingredient.

Good to know

The small amount of water it pulls goes inside the muscle, not under your skin. You're not getting puffy — you're getting stronger.
