What does Creatine do?Updated a year ago

Creatine is a popular supplement used to improve performance in the gym. Capable of increasing muscle mass, strength and overall performance, creatine is a natural substance found in your muscles and is popular among bodybuilders and gym-goers alike.

Creatine plays a crucial role in increasing the phosphocreatine stores in your muscles during high-intensity training. It also helps you to gain muscle by boosting your workload, improving your cell signalling, lifting your anabolic hormones, increasing cell hydration, reducing protein breakdown and lowering myostatin levels(Mawer, R. 2022).
