Creatine University:

Past, Present & Future of an Industry Favorite.

By: Mike Finamore - CEO

Creatine supplements have been a staple in the dietary supplement industry for decades. First gaining traction in the early 1990s, creatine supplementation took off when athletes in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics experienced enhanced performance with its use.
Since then, creatine has become one of the most widely used supplements worldwide, particularly favored by athletes and gym-goers for its proven benefits in muscle strength and endurance.
Recent studies have reignited excitement about creatine due to its broader range of potential health benefits, extending far beyond physical performance.

The Science Behind Creatine:

More Than Just Muscle Building

Creatine, when ingested, is absorbed by muscle cells and converted into phosphocreatine. This compound plays a crucial role in regenerating ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source for muscles during short bursts of activity. As a result, creatine enhances muscle strength, increases lean body mass, and promotes faster recovery.

Creatine doesn’t just enhance muscle performance—it can also cross the blood-brain barrier, supporting brain function. Similar to muscles, creatine helps regenerate ATP in the brain, contributing to increased energy availability for cognitive tasks. Research is exploring creatine’s potential in supporting brain health, particularly for age-related cognitive decline.
