Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in your muscles and brain. It helps regenerate ATP — your body’s main energy currency — particularly during high-intensity, short-duration activities.
You get some creatine from foods like red meat and fish, but supplementation can significantly increase muscle and brain stores, offering proven benefits for both performance and health.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is essentially your body’s rechargeable battery — the molecule that powers almost every process in your cells.
When you need energy — to lift a weight, focus on a task, or simply blink — ATP breaks off a phosphate group, releasing energy and becoming ADP (adenosine diphosphate). Your body then recharges ADP back into ATP.
Think of creatine as a battery booster for this ATP system.
It helps you recharge faster, especially during:
That’s why creatine supports not just physical performance, but cognitive resilience and mental clarity, particularly when the brain is under load (e.g. poor sleep, stress, fatigue).
✅ Physical performance — Strength, power, and endurance in resistance and high-intensity training
✅ Muscle growth & recovery — Aids hypertrophy and preserves lean tissue with age
✅ Cognitive performance — Memory, attention, alertness
