Creatine Monohydrate (250g)

More of an open secret, really. Creatine has become increasingly well-known over the past few years and is considered one of the safest dietary supplements you can take. In fact, it could be classified as a superweapon when you look at all the areas it’s supposed to support. But is there truth to it – or is it just a trend? Athletes and fitness enthusiasts in particular value its ability to enhance physical performance during short, intense bursts of effort.

Creatine – or creatin, both spellings are correct – is a substance that naturally occurs in our bodies. It’s primarily stored in the muscles and the brain, with around 95% found in the muscles while the rest is stored in the brain, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. So what does it do there? In a nutshell: it plays a key role in providing energy for muscle contractions. More specifically, it helps maintain ATP production in the muscles, especially during short, high-intensity physical activities. That’s also why it’s so well known in the fitness world. This effect is a clear "yes please".

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It’s a molecule that serves as the primary energy source for nearly all cellular processes in the human body. It’s known as an “energy transfer molecule” and plays a central role in energy metabolism. During intense activity, creatine phosphate in the muscle is used to regenerate ATP. More creatine means more ATP, which translates to more power when your muscles need to contract. This is exactly the process that makes fitness enthusiasts rave: “I had such a good workout today, I felt like I was in top form!” But creatine doesn’t just work during training – it also does its job afterward: it pulls water into the muscle cells, promotes cell hydration, improves protein synthesis, and supports the development of new muscle cells. And bonus: it also makes the muscles look fuller.

Even though there isn’t yet enough solid evidence, there are at least indications that this energy powder doesn’t just boost muscle performance – it might also benefit the brain. It’s not 100% confirmed, but many people still report improved concentration – and honestly, it makes sense, doesn’t it? After all, creatine naturally occurs in the brain, so it must have a function there too. Why should it only help regenerate ATP in muscle cells? All in all, a pretty impressive résumé for a supplement that doesn’t require winning the lottery to afford. Still looking for more valuable additions to your daily routine?

Anecdotal experiences are one thing, official studies are another. In fact, both negative side effects and long-term harm are just as poorly documented as the positive effects. However, there are repeated reports from people who didn't tolerate creatine well, complained about water retention, or simply didn’t notice any effects. It’s suspected that in people who naturally have higher levels of creatine in their body, additional supplementation may be less effective. Digestive issues with the supplement are often resolved by adjusting the dosage, and as for water retention: it mainly occurs in the muscles, so it’s not the same as water retention in the legs or elsewhere that could be caused by medical conditions.
