Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is naturally produced by the kidney and liver and plays a major role in skeletal muscle energy metabolism. With over 95% of the body's creatine being stored in the skeletal muscle, these muscle cells use creatine in the process of creating our body's main source of cellular energy: adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Higher levels of creatine enhance the body's ability to renew ATP for short 10-20 second energy bursts and improve the muscle cell's ability to recover.
Studied Benefits:
Muscle Strength
- Creatine supplementation appears to modestly improve upper body strength, lower body strength, and body composition with or without resistance training in meta-analyses in the general adult population. Creatine supplementation across these analyses were provided in typical loading doses of 20 grams daily for 5-7 days, followed by maintenance dosing of 5-10 grams daily.
Muscle Growth
- A majority of clinical evidence supports creatine supplementation increasing muscle cellular water retention in the short-term, with long-term muscle enlargement resulting from the increase in contractile and structural muscle proteins in combination with resistance training.
Athletic Performance
- In competitive rowers, most clinical research shows taking 20 grams of creatine for 5 days significantly improves aerobic and anaerobic performance. Specifically, creatine decreases 1000-meter rowing time by 2.4 seconds, 2500-meter rowing time by 6.5 seconds, and increases time to muscle fatigue by 9.7 seconds when compared to placebo.
- Most clinical research shows that taking creatine for 20-30 grams daily for 5-7 days improved jumping height by up to 6 cm when compared to placebo. Additionally, when performed with plyometric training, creatine supplementation improved jump, power, and sprinting performance when compared with placebo.
Creatine supplementation is accepted by major athletic associations, including the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), International Olympic Committee and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). As one of the most studied supplements to support athletic performance, lean muscle growth, strength, and body composition, Simpill Supplements Creatine Monohydrate is a valuable addition to the performance supplement lineup.
