Creatine is one of the most widely used supplements in strength training. See our complete guide for fundamentals.
How does creatine contribute to muscle gain?
Creatine does not directly build muscle. Its effect is indirect, through improved performance: more phosphocreatine → more reps → greater training volume → more hypertrophy.
EFSA validates: "Creatine improves physical performance during successive bursts of high-intensity exercise."
Water retention vs actual muscle?
Weight may increase 1–2 kg within days of starting. This is intramuscular water retention, not fat or muscle.
Creatine and protein: documented synergy
Creatine + protein produces better lean mass gains than either alone.
Which Cuure creatine for muscle gain?
Creatine Creapure®: 99.9% pure, micronised. Dose: 3.4 g/day post-workout.
