Creatine
Creatine is a molecule naturally produced in the body. Majority is stored in your body’s muscles as phosphocreatine. Think of phosphocreatine as energy for short, high intensity exercises.
Supplementing with creatine can improve sprint performance, maximal strength & power, and have positive effects on lean muscle mass.
All active people consistently training at high intensities + weight training, and especially vegan or vegetarian athletes may benefit from supplementation.
NSF
Consuming 3-5 grams/day of creatine monohydrate is sufficient, and loading phases have been shown to be unnecessary. Athletes should only use products that are NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport.
