Description

define[creatine] is the very definition of what a creatine supplement should be.

At 5 grams of creation monohydrate per scoop, define[creatine] supplies the clinically proven dose to increase power output, maximize cellular energy, hyper-hydrate muscle cells, increase cognition, and enhance recovery. Creatine monohydrate, the most extensively studied and proven form of creatine, accomplishes this by increasing phosphocreatine stores, which aids in the production of the energy currency of our cells, ATP. Through the process of osmosis, creatine will also draw more water into the muscle cells, increasing intra-cellular hydration and muscle hypertrophy. define[creatine] is micronized and filtered by 200 mesh, which ensures the finest powder and highest mixability. All of these qualities make define[creatine] the most ideal supplement to take daily to optimize athletic performance and recovery. 

FAQs

Q: What is [creatine] useful for?

A: Creatine has multiple uses that include, faster recovery time, increasing energy output, hydrating cells in the muscles, and increasing strength and power output.

Q: How does [creatine] work?

A: Creatine is mostly stored in the muscles in the form of phosphocreatine. When supplemented, the phosphocreatine stores are increased in the body which aids the body in producing more of a high-energy molecule named adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is our body's energy source and when there is more of an abundance in the body you can perform better during exercise.

Q: Is [creatine] bad for the kidneys?

A: No such evidence exists for creatine causing damage to the kidneys. When taking creatine your body’s creatinine levels will rise which is normally a sign for the kidneys working improperly, however, creatinine is a chemical waste product of creatine. Supplementing with creatine will raise your body’s creatinine levels but is not harmful to the kidney itself in otherwise healthy individuals.

Q: When should I take creatine?

A: Creatine has been shown to be effective when taken at any point throughout the day,  as long as it's taken once a day at 5 grams per day, benefits aren’t dependent on a certain time.

Q: How long till the effects of creatine are present?


Typically it generally takes creatine 3-4 weeks to fully saturate in the body at 5 grams of creatine per day.

Q: Is Creatine safe for teens?

A: Almost all of the studies of creatine have been done on adults. However, the FDA classified creatine as generally recognized safe (GRAS) which applies to teens and adults. More research needs to be done to determine the safety for developing teens but for now, it is classified as safe.

How to use

Everyday: mix 1 scoop with a beverage of your choice anytime throughout the day
