What it is
A naturally occurring nitrogenous organic acid available as a powder, capsule, or tablet supplement.
How it works
Increases intramuscular phosphocreatine stores, supporting rapid regeneration of ATP from ADP during short-duration high-intensity contraction via the creatine kinase reaction.
Where it's used
Used as a dietary supplement in athletic and resistance-training contexts.
FDA-approved use
Regulated as a dietary supplement.
Tracking it
Creatine Monohydrate is oral, which makes consistency the whole game — a simple daily check-off with a reminder beats memory every time.
