NOW® Creatine Monohydrate Powder Micronized 500g

Creatine monohydrate is an amino acid that naturally occurs in the human body, primarily in skeletal muscles. It is synthesized in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys from arginine, glycine, and methionine through the action of transaminase enzymes. After its formation, creatine is transported via the bloodstream to the muscles, where it is used for the production of phosphocreatine.

Adequate dietary intake—mainly from meat products—is a prerequisite for endogenous creatine synthesis.

Creatine is a popular supplement among athletes and physically active individuals due to its ability to serve as a readily available energy reservoir, essential for powering quick "bursts" of strength and power. Studies have shown that creatine supplementation may help preserve existing muscle tissue, support the increase and development of lean mass, and promote optimal performance during short-duration, high-intensity physical activity.

• Micronized creatine monohydrate powder mixes more easily, enhancing faster absorption by the body.
• NOW Sports’ creatine monohydrate is 100% pure and contains no additives or preservatives.
