Creatine Monohydrate

Patient One Creatine Monohydrate supplies 5 grams of water-washed, micronized creatine per serving. This pure, unflavored powder offers enhanced absorption and bioavailability and is easily mixed into liquids.

 

Creatine, one of the most researched supplements in the world, is a naturally occurring compound made from amino acids. The body produces creatine in the liver, kidney and pancreas, and then stores about 95% of it in skeletal muscles and the remaining 5% in the brain and other tissues.

 

Creatine plays a critical role in energy metabolism by helping to regenerate ATP — the body’s cellular energy currency. Creatine acts as the body’s energy reserve tank, allowing time for the mitochondria to increase ATP production. This is especially significant during high-intensity activities that deplete already limited ATP stores very quickly, such as sprinting, lifting weights, or even mentally-demanding tasks. This enhanced energy metabolism supports cognitive function, improves athletic performance, and promotes muscle mass, strength and recovery.

By preserving a healthy body composition, creatine may also be beneficial for those experiencing rapid weight loss which often results in both fat and muscle loss, as well as elderly individuals dealing with age-related reductions in muscle strength, mass and functionality.
