What is Creatine Monohydrate?
- Create Monohydrate is a pure, high-quality powder, designed to help support muscle strength, endurance and boost overall athletic performance.*
- This is the most studied type of creatine and clinically-proven
Creatine Deficiency? Some may have genetic conditions where they cannot produce or utilize creatine. Symptoms can be associated with:
- Muscle Weakness
- Fatigue
- Reduced Exercise Performance
- Cognitive Issues
- Muscle Cramps and Pain
- Development delays, particularly in children
Improving Muscle Mass & Strength
- About 95% of our body’s creatine is stored in our muscles
- Some studies found that creatine’s muscular benefits aren’t just present for young adults, but for older adults prone to losing muscle strength and mass.
- Helps stimulate protein synthesis and affecting hormones and cytokines that play a key role in muscle growth

Improving Athletic Performance
- Studies have shown creatine supplementation can enhance a persons sprint performance, anaerobic threshold, work capacity, recovery, tolerance of training, and synthesis of glycogen
- Creatine can improve high intensity performance by 10-20% depending on how much creatine athletes had stored in their muscles to begin with
- Vegetarians have the biggest potential for improvement from creatine supplements as their levels are typically the lowest. (Not eating a lot of red meat, seafood etc)
Studies:
Supporting Brain Health
- Studies have found that creatine may enhance cognitive function in adults of all ages.
- Can improve working memory, mood state, balance, oxygen usage in brain, and overall function
- Mental fatigue has also been a huge improvement

May Promote Healthy Blood Sugar
- Creatine may improve blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, meaning creatine supplementation may be helpful for those with type 2 diabetes
- This may be because it has an impact on blood sugar due to its ability to improve the secretion of insulin
- Creatine enhances GLUT-4, a glucose transporter that helps your muscles and fat cells take in glucose

Improves Energy Levels
- Creatine is stored in the body as creatine phosphate, which helps your body replenish ATP. It fuels cell function to increase energy levels at the cellular level.
- Creatine can help lower fatigue. One study found that it may help relieve post viral fatigue syndrome, neurological disease that promotes extreme exhaustion.

Testing:
- Serum Creatine and Creatinine Levels – Less commonly measured but one way to asses over creatine levels in the blood
- Urinary Creatine
- Genetic Testing – If a genetic condition related to creatine metabolism is suspected (creatine transporter deficiency or creatine synthase deficiency), genetic testing can confirm the presence of mutation disorders
- CK (Creatine Kinase) levels – Elevated levels of CK in the blood can indicate muscle damage or inflammation, which might be relevant if there are concerns about muscle function or creatine metabolism
