2. Health Benefits and Mechanism of Action
Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most extensively studied ergogenic aids.
According to clinical data from PubMed and NIH, its supplementation supports multiple physiological functions:
-
Enhances Muscle Energy Production – Increases phosphocreatine stores, accelerating ATP resynthesis during high-intensity training.
-
Improves Exercise Performance – Boosts strength, power, and endurance; supports lean muscle growth.
-
Cognitive Support – Helps maintain brain energy metabolism and neuroprotection under fatigue or stress.
-
Supports Healthy Aging – May aid in preserving muscle mass and functionality in older adults.
-
Recovery & Anti-Fatigue – Reduces lactic acid accumulation, improving post-exercise recovery.
