Creapure™ is trademarked and universally accepted as the purest form of Creatine Monohydrate on the market today.

99.9% Pure Creatine Monohydrate

Certificate of Analysis is available for inspection at our Premises.

*Creatine is more effective when taken with simple sugars/carbohydrates. This is due to the effect carbohydrates have on insulin release, and the insulin in turn helps muscle cell uptake of creatine.

It is recommended to cycle your creatine consumption,
ie: 6 weeks on, 1 week off.

What is Creatine?

Creatine is a natural nutrient found in our bodies and the bodies of most animals.
Approximately 95% of the body's creatine supply is found in the skeletal muscles. The remaining 5% of creatine is scattered throughout the rest of the body, with the highest concentrations in the heart, brain and testes.
Creatine is easily absorbed from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. When dietary consumption of creatine is inadequate to meet the body's needs, a limited supply can be synthesized from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. This creatine production occurs in the liver, pancreas and kidneys.

What does creatine do?

Provides additional energy to your muscles:
When you perform an action such as lifting a weight or sprinting, your body needs a very quick response supply of energy. This energy comes from a molecule called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP for short) where it is transformed into ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). Your body doesn't have an endless supply of ATP and so you are only able to exert yourself for a short period of time. When Creatine is introduced into your body in the form of a supplement, it transforms the ADP back into ATP and thus provides you with an additional energy source.

Cellular Hydration:
Creatine acts as a volumising agent by pulling water into the muscle tissue and increasing the volume of muscle - a 'pumped up' look.

Lactic Acid Buffer:
When you exercise over a long period your muscles will start to become fatigued and you will feel 'the burn'. This is a process of lactic acid building up within the muscles. Creatine has been shown to delay the build up of lactic acid and allow the user to extend their normal period of strenuous activity.

Enhances Protein Synthesis:
It is believed that creatine places the body in a more anabolic state which is ideal for protein synthesis to occur and greater muscle (mass) development. The development of mass, however, is also reliant upon resistance training and proper nutrition and rest.
