Micronized Creatine

Creatine is an organic molecule that is naturally present in our bodies, especially in the muscles, but also in nerve cells and other tissues. In the cells, creatine serves as an additional energy storage. If this storage is full, we can use more energy, e.g. during training, which improves our performance. The improved training performance can have a positive effect on muscle growth2 when combined with a protein-rich diet. Our Micronized Creatine has a very small particle size, which benefits the solubility and absorption of the creatine. The so-called “bio-enhancer” AstraGin® helps to improve the absorption of creatine in the small intestine.

When it comes to performance enhancement, hardly any other food supplement has been as well researched as creatine. The human body can produce creatine on its own, but not in the quantities required to improve physical performance. The amounts of creatine consumed through animal products are also not sufficient to get the desired effect. Creatine has an excellent safety profile and is free from undesired side effects when taken in the recommended dosage.

The aim of supplementing with creatine is to increase the cellular creatine phosphate storage in the muscles. In order to achieve this, a regular intake is necessary. Contrary to earlier recommendations like cycling creatine (e.g. 6 weeks of intake, 6 weeks break), we recommend a long-term intake of 3 g creatine per day. This dose is effective and healthy. Since supplementation is about increasing the storage and keeping it on a high level, the time of intake is not that important.
