Did You Know? Your Body Already Makes Creatine

Did you know your body already makes creatine — about a gram a day, in your liver and kidneys? And if you eat meat or fish, you take in roughly another gram. Creatine isn't some lab invention your body has never seen. It's a native.

Your muscles keep it in a battery

Most of your creatine is stored in your muscles as phosphocreatine. When you do something short and hard (a sprint, a heavy set, hauling bags of concrete up stairs — hi, Las Vegas), your muscles burn through their ready energy, called ATP, in seconds. Phosphocreatine helps restore it.

The most studied supplement in the room

Did you know creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched supplements in sports science, with hundreds of studies behind it? That's why we use the monohydrate form — when the research keeps pointing at one version, you don't get creative.

Do you need a "loading phase"?

Nope. Loading (giant doses for a week) fills your stores faster, but a normal daily serving gets you to the same place in a few weeks. Simple beats dramatic. Five grams a day, every day, done.

Our twist: hydration in the same scoop

Here's what ours adds: our Creatine Hydration Powder pairs the full 5-gram dose with real electrolytes — 1,000 mg of sodium and 200 mg of potassium per scoop — because the people working hardest are usually the ones sweating most. Lemon flavor, sweetened with stevia, 30 servings at about $1.20 a day. One scoop, two jobs.

One honest note: 1,000 mg of sodium is about 43% of the daily value. That is intentional for hard, sweaty work — but if your doctor has you watching sodium, this is exactly the kind of number to show them first.
