What is Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine monohydrate is the simplest and most common form of creatine. Its chemical structure consists of a creatine molecule bound to a single water molecule (hence “mono-hydrate”).
It is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in red meat and fish, but supplementing with it allows us to consume a much higher, effective dose. Its primary job is to help recycle energy in your muscles, specifically by regenerating ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the fundamental energy currency of your cells. This leads to:
- Improved Strength and Power Output: Allows you to lift heavier or get more reps.
- Increased Muscle Mass: Supports greater training volume, which stimulates growth.
- Enhanced Recovery: Helps you bounce back faster between sets and workouts.
