ActivLab Creatine Monohydrate CAPS from the CLASSIC SERIES is a dietary supplement in capsules containing creatine monohydrate. This is the most popular supplement in strength and endurance sports, known for its high effectiveness and proven safety.
How Creatine Monohydrate Works:
Creatine monohydrate is a chemical compound where a water molecule is bound to a creatine molecule. This makes it stable and suitable for use as a supplement. Although your body naturally produces creatine, found in muscles and the brain, supplementation allows for an increase in creatine levels, leading to a greater availability of energy resources.
Individuals engaging in strength training can expect increased strength and endurance during short, intense bursts of exercise, but that’s not all. Scientists are increasingly recognizing the positive effects of creatine supplementation on memory and cognitive processes [1].
Creatine is a source of phosphates, which the body uses to rebuild ATP molecules - the biological energy carrier involved in every process, from muscle contraction to protein synthesis (anabolism).
Creatine is highly recommended by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), a renowned research institution in the world of professional sports. Scientists have classified creatine in Group A, which includes supplements with scientifically proven effectiveness, such as caffeine, beta-alanine, beetroot juice, Vitamin D, zinc, and electrolytes [2].
Who Should Use Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine is primarily associated with weightlifting and strength sports. However, according to AIS recommendations, creatine can be safely used by all athletes, including those involved in explosive activities, such as throwing, sprinting, and swimming [3].
Creatine supplementation is particularly recommended for vegetarians who avoid meat and fish, natural sources of creatine.
