100% Pure Creatine

About pure creatine

Creatine is a compound your body makes and stores in muscle, where it helps regenerate ATP — the fast energy your muscles use for short, hard efforts like lifting or sprinting. Supplementing tops up those stores. "Pure" or "100%" creatine means monohydrate with nothing else added; micronized just means the powder is milled finer so it mixes more smoothly. Most people take about 3–5 g a day.

What people take creatine for

Creatine is best known for helping build strength and lean muscle when combined with resistance training — it lets you push a little harder on those last few reps and recover between sets. It's popular with lifters, athletes and anyone doing regular strength work. Because it's so well studied and inexpensive, it's often the first supplement people add once their protein is sorted.

Monohydrate, micronized and Creapure

Almost all pure creatine is creatine monohydrate, the form with the most research behind it. Micronized monohydrate is the same thing milled into a finer powder so it blends more smoothly and settles less. You'll also see Creapure — a branded, high-purity German monohydrate — plus a few creatine capsules and creatine HCl options for people who prefer a smaller scoop.

How to take creatine

Most people take 3–5 g of creatine daily, any time of day, mixed into water, juice or a shake. Some start with a short higher-dose "loading" phase, but it isn't required — taking it consistently is what matters, since it works by keeping your muscle stores topped up over time. Drink plenty of water alongside it.
