Creapure® in high-performance sport
Creatine is a bodily substance formed in the livers and kidneys from the amino acids glycine, arginine and methionine. Creatine and creatine phosphate play an important role in the supply of energy to the body.
Creapure® Increased energy through creatine
Creatine plays a central role in the transport and storage of energy in every human body cell. In an adult's body, about 80 to 130 grams of this natural bodily substance are found. However, as the body daily digests and excretes about one to two percent of it, it is also necessary to replenish the stock of creatine regularly. As part can be synthesized by different organs, the rest must be absorbed through food. The following applies: creatine is contained in relevant quantities only in meat and fish, but not in vegetables or dairy products.
Creapure® for muscles and force
Muscles and strength are developed and built by exercise. While exercising, the muscles are in action and perform working tasks, for which energy is needed. This energy is extracted from carbohydrates and fats, and made available to the muscle cells through various metabolic processes. Creatine and its energetic form creatine phosphate play an important role in this energy supply, especially when the muscle is brought into action after resting and when a higher amount of energy needs to be made available in a short time.
We recommend taking 3–5 g of creatine per day. The most common and well-studied form of creatine is creatine monohydrate.
The only side effect that has been shown is a slight amount of weight gain. On one hand, this is caused by an increase in the accumulation of water in the muscles. On the other, this is caused by a gradual increase in muscle mass, which is exactly what many athletes want.
