Ready to get big? Creatine (creatine monohydrate) is natural substance and creatine supplementation is an effective way to build muscle and get stronger. In one study, athletes added 19 pounds to their single-rep bench press within just one month of taking creatine! Another study showed an average muscle mass increase of 3.5 pounds in the same period.*
Some creatine is naturally synthesized in the body from amino acids. But supplementing with additional creatine yields increased muscle energy by regenerating ADP (spent energy) back into ATP (usable energy). Creatine is especially important for activities requiring short, intense bursts of energy such as weight training and certain sports.
