Creatine Monohydrate - 180 vegan tablets

Creatine is the most researched substance in sports – and an indispensable muscle protector during GLP-1 therapy. With reduced calorie intake, creatine protects muscle mass, maintains strength, and supports the ATP energy supply to muscle cells.

Benefits: Protects muscle mass during calorie deficit · Maintains strength and performance · Supports cellular ATP production · Vegan, without flavorings or additives

Shipped from Germany · Vegan ✓ · No added sugar ✓ · Non-GMO ✓ · HACCP compliant

Scientific Background – Based on publicly available research literature. Intended for general information only and not a substitute for medical advice.

• Phosphocreatine System: Creatine is phosphorylated to phosphocreatine (PCr) in the muscle cell. PCr regenerates ATP from ADP in milliseconds – crucial for explosive, short-duration strength efforts (<30 seconds) and repeated sprint sets.
• ISSN Position Stand: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (Kreider et al., J Int Soc Sports Nutr, 2017) identifies creatine monohydrate as the most effective and well-researched ergogenic nutritional supplement for strength and muscle hypertrophy.
• Muscle Mass with Calorie Deficit: A meta-analysis (Lanhers et al., Nutrients, 2019) confirms the muscle mass-preserving effect of creatine during caloric restriction – particularly relevant for GLP-1 therapy patients, where muscle loss is a known risk.
• Cognitive Effects: Recent studies (Avgerinos et al., Experimental Gerontology, 2018) show moderate improvements in cognitive performance with creatine, especially during sleep deprivation and mental fatigue.
• Dosage & Loading Phase: 3–5 g/day fills muscle stores within ~4 weeks. A loading phase (20 g/day × 5–7 days) is optional and only accelerates the initial build-up.
• Safety: Creatine monohydrate is considered very safe for healthy adults. Concerns regarding kidney damage have not been confirmed in controlled long-term studies (ISSN, 2017).
