How It Works

Creatine is an energy buffer inside cells. Your muscles and brain burn ATP in seconds; creatine phosphate donates a phosphate group to regenerate ATP faster than any other system during short bursts. That is the strength story. The cognition story: brain phosphocreatine stores support mental stamina under sleep deprivation and stress, one of the best-replicated nootropic findings in the literature. Monohydrate remains the most studied form; Creapure-grade adds purity verification.
