Sports performance
Creatine is well-known for improving sports performance Naturally, with studies showing up to 15% increases in power, strength, and anaerobic capacity. Pushing gains during training builds maximum strength. Climbers often use creatine to enhance their workout results.
Fewer injuries
Studies have shown that muscles improve overall function and athletic performance by increasing the water stored in the muscle cells. This water hydrates and prevents cramping, decreasing the chances of injury.
Recovery
Creatine replenishes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stores essential for muscle contractions. Improving ATP allows muscles to recover from micro tears and high-intensity exercises quicker.
