Creatine

Creatine is a supplement linked to replenishing muscle phosphocreatine and can support performance in intense, repeated efforts.

Also known as: Creatine monohydrate

The common practical maintenance reference sits around 3 to 5 g per day, though individual context and clinical questions should be discussed with a health professional.

Creatine does not replace progressive training. It can support performance, but results still depend on execution, volume, recovery and consistency.
