Creatine

Few sports supplements carry the research weight that creatine does. Over 500 clinical trials have examined it across decades, making it one of the most thoroughly studied compounds in exercise science.

Your muscles store creatine as phosphocreatine, a compound that rapidly regenerates ATP during explosive movements. ATP is your cells’ primary energy currency, and it depletes fast during heavy lifting or sprinting. By increasing phosphocreatine stores, creatine supplements give your muscles more capacity to sustain high-intensity output before fatigue sets in.

Research consistently shows creatine monohydrate improves strength, power output, and lean muscle gain when combined with resistance training. Studies indicate it may also support muscle recovery between sessions. Creatine monohydrate benefits are not limited to the gym. Emerging evidence points to cognitive support, with some trials showing improved memory performance under sleep deprivation or high mental load. A daily dose of 3-5g maintains saturated muscle stores for most people.

Strength athletes, sprinters, team sport players, and people building muscle seriously commonly use it. Older adults concerned about age-related muscle loss are another group where the evidence is building. Vegetarians and vegans tend to have lower baseline muscle creatine stores, so they often see the most noticeable gains from supplementation.
