CREATINE MONOHYDRATE POWDER 500G

What is Creatine?
Creatine is an essential chemical which is produced in the muscles and brain, discovered in 1832. Creatine creates complex substances from simpler ones, such as energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP), a trade that was only determined within humans in the early 20th century. The name derives from the Greek term for flesh, kreas, since Creatine is found organically in foods such as red meat and seafood. The chemical only became popular in the 1990s when two Olympic gold medalists commended Creatine to part of their success. Following this, an estimated 80% of athletes in the 1996 Olympic Games were supplementing with Creatine.

Creatine is absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to large muscle groups, such as the quadriceps, hamstring, biceps and triceps. This is one reason why Creatine is a popular supplement within the sports industry, particularly amongst those who compete in short and intense exercise, such as sprinters. The supplement is also well used with bodybuilders and other high-performance athletes, and recent research has shown great benefits within the older adult.
