Creatine Supplements

With more research about creatine than any other sports nutrition dietary supplement, it is likely you already know about this ingredient. Millions of people use creatine supplements because they want to increase muscle strength and build muscle mass.

While creatine has trended up and down over the years, with science having proven the effectiveness of this supplement, that it will always have a place for workout and athletic performance. Creatine supplementation is a cost-effective way to get a slight edge in the gym, on the field, or in the arena.

How Creatine Works

Oral creatine consumption increases the total phosphocreatine content in skeletal muscle. Having higher creatine levels in the muscle leads to more adenosine triphosphate (muscle energy) for a workout set. There is more potential benefit for resistance training when having more adenosine triphosphate available because of increased creatine stores.

Resistance Training Benefits of Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine monohydrate powder is the most researched creatine supplement on the market. They have shown higher levels of creatine stores in the muscle to increase power output and delay muscle fatigue. Not only does it increase performance during workouts, but it can also aid in recovery because it helps with muscle cell hydration.

You will find creatine monohydrate in several Better Body Sports products. We have it available in our pre workout supplements and as a standalone supplement. We make it convenient for you to take creatine as a part of your supplement stack for muscle growth and reduce muscle damage.

Additional Benefits to Creatine Supplementation

While most of the research around oral creatine supplements shows them to be a performance enhancing supplement, there are other potential benefits to using creatine powder. They have shown creatine to have potential benefit as a nootropic for cognitive performance. They have also shown creatine supplements beneficial for fight mental fatigue and blood sugar management.

Other Forms of Creatine

While creatine monohydrate supplements are the most common form of creatine we offer, we have additional options. For those who are looking to maintain or decrease body weight, we have creatine hydrochloride. Creatine HCL has been shown to provide similar results without causing an increase in non-lean muscle weight gain.
