Creatine
Since its introduction in the mid-90’s, Creatine monohydrate has taken
the sports nutrition industry by the reigns and never let go. What’s
the secret to its success? This naturally occurring metabolite is
stored in our muscle fibers and plays an extensive role in the
production and distribution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the fuel
behind each and every muscle contraction. NOW® 100% pure micronized
Creatine Monohydrate powder offers smaller particle size for super-fast
absorption and easy mixing, and is completely free of additives &
preservatives.* This 6 time award winning formulation has become a
favorite among some of the world’s most elite athletes.
Major fitness applications
Increased ATP production, sustained muscle energy, cell
volumization, conditioning fast-twitch muscle fibers, lactic acid
prevention.*
Ideal users
Powerlifters, bodybuilders and general training enthusiasts (from
amateur to professional), endurance and “quick-burst” athletes,
fatigued individuals.
