What is Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied and effective nutritional supplements for athletic performance and muscle building.

Natural ingredient: Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in muscle cells and stored as a rapid source of energy (ATP) during short, high-intensity exercises such as weightlifting or sprinting.

Mechanism of action: Creatine helps replenish adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stores, the body’s primary source of energy, allowing muscles to function more efficiently and for slightly longer periods, especially during repeated, intense exercise.
The proven benefits of creatine can be summarized as follows:

1. Enhancing athletic performance and muscle strength
This is the primary and most proven benefit of creatine, and is what the product in the image refers to as “Power and Strength”:

Increased rapid strength and energy: Creatine quickly replenishes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stores in muscles, the primary source of energy during short, high-intensity exercises (such as weightlifting, jumping, and sprinting). This allows you to lift heavier weights or perform more repetitions.

Improved anaerobic performance: Helps improve performance in activities that require high and sudden energy.

2. Muscle Growth
This product specifically refers to supporting muscle growth, which occurs through two main mechanisms:

Increased muscle cell volume: Creatine draws water into muscle cells (hydration), making the muscle appear larger and fuller. This is called cell volumization.

Supported an anabolic environment: Cellular hypertrophy creates a physiological environment believed to stimulate long-term muscle growth.

Increased training load: By increasing strength and endurance (as mentioned in point 1), you can train with greater intensity, which is the primary catalyst for lean muscle mass growth.

3. Accelerated recovery and recovery
Reduced muscle damage: Some research suggests that creatine may reduce muscle damage and inflammation that occur after strenuous exercise, helping to speed up recovery.

Product Feature (Micronized Creatine Powder)
The product refers to it as “micronized creatine powder.” This feature means:

Better solubility: The creatine molecules are broken down to a much finer size than regular creatine, making it easier to dissolve in water or other beverages.

Better absorption (potential): The ease of solubility also improves creatine absorption in the digestive tract, reducing the potential for minor gastrointestinal upsets that may occur with non-micronized creatine. Creatine
