ON Creatine improves muscle strength and power output by rebuilding ATP at an accelerated rate in the absence of oxygen. The recycling of the universal energy molecule (ATP) by phosphocreatine enhances training capacity and supports lean muscle gains, reducing recovery time between sets. Creatine also enhances cell volumisation, improving cellular hydration, and triggers anabolism.

This product has been micronized to enhance its mixability, absorption and utilization. Micronized creatines are well known for their improved absorption, which means more of this powerful molecule find its way to your muscles, just where you need it.

ON Creatine Monohydrate is a premium pure powder containing the world's finest raw creatine material: Creapure. Creatine is suited to anyone wanting extra lean muscle mass, and to individuals engaged in strength training or power lifting. It has been suggested that any maximal-intensity effort lasting up to 3 minutes should find benefit from supplementation.

The benefits of creatine are intertwined with the energy molecule ATP. When training with high-intensity, our body relies on the phosphocreatine energy system more heavily. This is simply because not enough oxygen can get to the cell to support other ATP synthesis pathways.

This is where Creatine steps into the equation. Optimum Nutrition Creatine is perfect for use to support these high-intensity exercises, with low repititions or maximal efforts over short periods of time, such as sprinting and bodybuilding-style training.

Optimum Nutrition Creatine Dosage

Add 5.25g (1 rounded scoop) to 200ml water and mix. Alternatively, add to your favourite pre-workout, intra-workout or post-workout drink.

Loading phase: take 1 rounded scoop 4 times daily in divided doses (e.g. morning, afternoon, evening and before bed), for 5 days. For the best results, mix each creatine dose with 5 times the quantity of glucose (dextrose) or a high-glycemic index food of equal carbohydrate content.

Maintenance phase: take 1 rounded scoop with a meal or immediately following exercise. Consuming your ON Creatine Monohydrate with simple carbohydrates will enhance its uptake into muscle tissue.

Creatine Effects on Blood Sugar

A comprehensive systematic review published in 2016 by Amino Acids indicated that Creatine supplementation in active people supports healthy glucose metabolism. However, supplementation should be discussed with your healthcare practitioner if you are diabetic or have poor glycemic control.
