The Benefits of Supplementing Creatine

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world — yet it’s still surrounded by myths. Often associated only with bodybuilders, creatine can actually benefit a wide range of people.

What is creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells. It helps produce energy during short bursts of high-intensity activity such as lifting, sprinting, or HIIT workouts.

Benefits of creatine supplementation

Research shows creatine may:

• Improve strength and power output

• Enhance exercise performance

• Support muscle recovery

• Aid muscle mass maintenance

• Potentially support brain and cognitive health

Creatine is particularly useful for people doing resistance training, HIIT, or returning to exercise after injury.

Is creatine safe?

For healthy individuals, creatine is considered safe when taken at recommended doses. It’s important to:

• Stay well hydrated

• Choose a high-quality supplement

• Use it alongside appropriate training and recovery

Supplementation should complement a healthy lifestyle — not replace it.
