What is creatine and how can it maximize your athletic performance?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in ATP production in your muscles. ATP is the abbreviation for adenosine triphosphate and is also known as the body's "energy currency". This is because it is a source of readily available energy during intense muscle exertion. ATP is therefore used by your muscles for powerful contractions during heavy training sets. Unfortunately, muscle ATP reserves are severely limited and begin to deplete rapidly during a training set with heavy weights. This means that your body wants to produce new ATP as quickly as possible in order to maintain your training performance. Since ATP production by burning muscle glycogen would take too long, your body only has the creatine phosphate pathway left to maintain your training performance. Unfortunately, however, the natural creatine phosphate reserves of human muscles are also limited. This is where creatine as a dietary supplement comes into play. By supplementing with creatine, you can maximize your muscles' creatine stores and thus your creatine phosphate reserves. Not only can this help you to perform more repetitions per set, but according to numerous studies, it can also help you to move heavier weights (1,2). Creatine has been used successfully by millions of athletes for almost 30 years and well over 1000 human studies have clearly demonstrated its many positive effects on muscle building and athletic performance as well as its safety and harmlessness (3,4).

Maximize your muscle growth with Pure German Creapure®

Muscles grow by building new muscle protein in the form of muscle tissue. In this context, creatine can not only promote your muscle protein synthesis after training (1,2), but also the fusion of satellite cells ("dormant" muscle stem cells) with your muscle fibers (5). In addition, as a natural myostatin inhibitor, creatine is able to inhibit myostatin, which acts as a natural brake on muscle growth, and reduce its levels by up to 20% (6). However, the effects on muscle and strength growth do not end there. 1 gram of creatine binds approx. 30 grams of water in the muscle cells, which can result in a significant increase in muscle cell volume. According to studies, the body (incorrectly) perceives this increased pressure as a threat to the structural integrity of the muscles and reacts by stimulating growth in the muscle cells to make them more resistant (5,7).

Why is Pure German Creapure® superior to most other creatine products?

Without a doubt, you will find a variety of cheaper creatine products on the market as well as many supposedly superior, fancy, newer creatine dosage forms. With supplements, however, it's like anything else and neither cheap nor fancy can be equated with good effects or quality. As far as all the new creatine products are concerned, you should bear in mind that practically all studies showing the effectiveness of creatine have been carried out with creatine monohydrate. This is the ingredient in Pure German Creapure®. The effectiveness of all other forms of creatine is generally much less scientifically proven and many of these products have turned out to be nothing more than an expensive disappointment in the past.

However, the biggest advantage of Pure German Creapure® is its guaranteed purity of 99.95%. This is less about the few percent more creatine you get for your money and more about your health. If creatine is not produced under optimal conditions, the end product can contain significant amounts of potentially harmful by-products of the synthesis process such as dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazine - which is completely out of the question in a product with a purity of 99.95%. As always, quality prevails.

Creatine is rightly one of the most popular supplements. No other supplement has been so well researched and hardly any other supplement manages to guarantee benefits that even come close to the potential effects of creatine. As with all other supplements, however, quality and purity are crucial to achieve an optimum effect, which is why GN relies on the branded raw material Creapure®. Pure Creatine Creapure® from GN Laboratories - because in the end only results count.
