What are the benefits of creatine monohydrate?

Creatine is a natural organic compound found in muscles and used to produce energy during exercise. It can also be obtained from food sources such as meat and fish.

It is a popular sports supplement that is often used to improve performance during training and competition.

What does creatine do?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells. It helps produce energy during high-intensity exercise or heavy lifting. Here's what creatine does:

1. Increases Muscle Mass: Promotes growth by improving exercise performance and boosting cell signaling.

2. Enhances Strength and Power: Increases the capacity for high-intensity training.

3. Improves Exercise Performance: Supports short bursts of intense activity, enhancing overall workout effectiveness.

4. Aids Muscle Recovery: Reduces muscle cell damage and inflammation post-exercise.

5. Boosts Brain Function: Enhances cognitive performance by supporting ATP production in brain cells.

Types of Creatine

1. Creatine Monohydrate: The most common and well-researched form, known for increasing muscle mass, strength, and performance. It is highly effective and affordable.

2. Creatine HCL (Hydrochloride): Known for its superior solubility and absorption, requiring a smaller dose compared to monohydrate, and often results in less bloating and stomach discomfort.

3. Creatine Ethyl Ester: Claimed to have better absorption than monohydrate, though research on its effectiveness is mixed.

4. Buffered Creatine (Kre-Alkalyn): Buffered to improve stability and reduce conversion to creatinine, potentially enhancing absorption and reducing side effects.

5. Creatine Nitrate: Combines creatine with nitrate, promoting muscle pumps and improved vascularity.

6. Creatine Magnesium Chelate: Creatine bound to magnesium, potentially enhancing creatine uptake and providing additional benefits from magnesium.

7. Creatine Malate: Combines creatine with malic acid, claimed to improve endurance and reduce fatigue.

8. Micronized Creatine: Creatine monohydrate that has been micronized to improve solubility and absorption, reducing potential for stomach discomfort.

Creatine monohydrate and Creapure®

This is the most common type of creatine. It is characterized by high bioavailability and effectiveness. Creatine monohydrate penetrates muscle cells and is used there to generate energy during training. MST Nutrition Germany also has a branded version of Swiss creatine Creapure® in its range. You can check the authenticity of the Creapure® content on the official website www.creapure.com and by the unique number on the can.

MST Nutrition has a direct official contract with the company for the production of Creapure.

Buffered creatine monohydrate

This is a form of creatine that has a more stable chemical structure and higher solubility in water. This improves the absorption of creatine and increases its effectiveness as a dietary supplement.

Creatine phosphate

This is one of the most common types of creatine, often used as a dietary supplement. It is an important component of the metabolic process that provides energy for muscle contraction.

Creatine citrate

This is a form of creatine that combines creatine and citrate, an organic acid commonly found in fruits. Creatine citrate is used as a dietary supplement to improve physical endurance and increase muscle mass. It is available in the composition of Creatine Kick.

Creatine pyruvate

This is a compound of creatine and pyruvate acid that is often used as a dietary supplement to increase muscle mass and improve physical endurance.

Creatine hydrochloride

Contains less water and has a higher concentration. The MST range of sports nutrition supplements includes creatine HCL in capsules and powder. This is a very convenient form of taking hydrochloride.

Creatine Malate

This is a compound of creatine and malic acid that is used as a sports supplement to improve physical endurance and build muscle mass.

All these 7 forms of creatine are available in the practical MST® Creatine Kick 7-in-1 powder form. In addition to the creatine mixture, Creatine Kick is enriched with amino acids and vitamins as well as a carbohydrate mixture! This combination makes creatine absorption much better!

Types and forms of creatine supplements

Creatine is available in a variety of forms, including:

• Powder - the preferred form of intake, creatine is available in flavored and unflavored forms;
• Capsules - in this case is considered the optimal form of taking creatine hydrochloride;
• Tablets - a convenient form of intake if it is an additional intake.

How and when should you take creatine monohydrate?

In general, it is recommended to start with a dose of 3.4 grams per day, which should be taken for 6-8 weeks. It is not recommended to exceed the recommended creatine dosage.

Creatine monohydrate can be taken in two ways: immediately after training or throughout the day. If you choose to take creatine after training, it is recommended to mix 3.4 g of the powder with a protein shake or juice and drink it within 30 minutes of training. If you choose to take creatine throughout the day, you can split the dose into several doses by taking the powder with food.

How is creatine hydrochloride taken?

Creatine hydrochloride should be taken in a dose of 2-3 grams per day by dissolving the powder in water or another drink. It is recommended to take the powder 30 minutes before training or throughout the day. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and not to take creatine for long periods without a break.
