Creatine monohydrate is commonly used by athletes and gym-goers to support strength, power and performance during short bouts of high-intensity exercise. Creatine contributes to the body's available creatine stores, which play a role in ATP energy production.
Each serving provides 5,000 mg (5g) of pure creatine monohydrate, one of the most widely researched sports nutrition ingredients for athletes, gym-goers and active individuals.
Creatine helps support the body's production of ATP, the primary source of cellular energy used during short bursts of high-intensity exercise. This makes creatine particularly useful for activities such as weight training, strength training, sprinting, HYROX and other explosive sports.
NOW Sports Creatine Monohydrate Powder contains no added ingredients or preservatives, making it an easy way to add pure creatine to your daily training routine.
