Creatine is an amino acid stored in your muscles, brain, and gut. It is required for all of our body's fast, high-energy demanding activity.

Your body only gets around 1g/day or less naturally through your liver after you eat protein so you need to supplement with it to get it's full benefits.

Creatine helps speed up muscle recovery by mitigating muscle damage.

- improves exercise performance

- increases muscle mass and strength

- improves mood and cognitive function

science suggests that consuming creatine right before or right after your workout for it to be most effective, but really any time of day will still help in increasing creatine levels in the muscles

many of the initial studies that lead to water retention were based on loading creatine at 20g/day.

creatine is an osmotically active substance so as it is going into the muscles in theory it can draw water to the cells causing water retention.

however, newer research shows that it should be relatively insignificant and subside after a week.

most people tend to see results from creatine supplementation once their muscles are fully saturated, which will vary with how much you consume.

with a dose of5g/day benefits should take about 2-3 weeks

since the body only produces a limited amount of creatine from the protein you consume creatine supplementation helps create additional ATP to allow for more intense workouts it has also been shown to draw water into the muscle, increasing levels of IGF-1 that can increase muscle growth and improve performance and recovery

ultra-micronized means that our formula is broken into very, very fine particles to deliver maximum absorption into the body and mixability when dissolved in water or other liquids.

yes, yes, yes, and yes!

our clean creatine contains 5g per serving.

yes! Since creatine works by rerouting water to the muscles, you should maintain proper/increased hydration to ensure the rest of the body has the water it needs to carry out essential functions.

“loading” creatine is the concept of consuming an increased amount of 20g/day of creatine for the first week and then reducing your intake to 5g/day for accelerated results. While effective, it is not necessary and can attribute to initial increased water retention.

Clean Creatine differs from others by containing three patented ingredients tart cherry extract (as CherryPure®)(300mg), Aquamin™ (250mg), and AstraGin® (50mg). Benefits of each include:

• Tart Cherry Extract - Tart cherries contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds which can help reduce muscle soreness caused by exercise by fighting inflammation & aiding in quicker muscle recovery.
• Aquamin™ - Aquamin™ is a natural mineral source containing 74+ trace minerals that helps reduce inflammation and aid muscle recovery over the short and long term.
• AstraGin® - Studies show that AstraGin® can increase the absorption of creatine by 33%, while strengthening your gut-based immune system.
