ATP Nutrition Pure Creatine Tabs 500 tbl

500 CREATINE TABLETS = 500 G OF CREATINE

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective dietary supplements in the field of sports nutrition. It is popular for its ability to improve physical performance, increase muscle mass and promote recovery. In tablet form, it offers a number of very practical benefits.

Ingredients

Creatine monohydrate tablets primarily contain creatine monohydrate, which is a molecule of creatine bound to a molecule of water. In addition to the creatine itself, the tablets typically contain healthful excipients that ensure the tablet's cohesion and facilitate its use by gradually breaking it down in the gastric juices.

Functions in the body

Creatine is a naturally occurring organic acid that is synthesized in the body from the amino acids glycine, arginine and methionine. Most creatine (about 95%) is stored in muscle cells in the form of phosphocreatine (PCr).

The main function of creatine in the body is crucial for rapid energy production, especially during short-term, intense physical activities:

• ATP resynthesis: phosphocreatine serves as a rapid energy reservoir. During high-intensity exercise, the main energy molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is quickly depleted and converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Phosphocreatine donates its phosphate group to ADP, quickly converting it back to ATP. This allows the muscles to continue working at high intensity for longer periods of time.
• Cellular hydration. This effect can visually enlarge muscles and potentially play a role in signaling for muscle tissue growth.
• Reduction of muscle fatigue: It promotes muscle buffering capacity and reduces lactic acid accumulation, thus delaying fatigue.

Main benefits and advantages

Taking creatine monohydrate provides a number of proven benefits for athletic performance:

• Increased strength and power: Allows athletes to perform more repetitions, lift heavier weights and increase training intensity, leading to better results in strength sports and sprints.
• Increased training intensity and cellular volumization contribute to faster muscle growth.
• Improved recovery: helps reduce muscle damage and speeds recovery after intense exercise.
• Improves anaerobic capacity.
• Potential Cognitive Benefits: Some studies suggest that creatine may have a positive effect on brain function, memory, and reduce mental fatigue, especially in individuals with low creatine levels (e.g. vegetarians and vegans).
• Safety: Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and safe supplements, with minimal side effects when dosed correctly.

Benefits of tablet dosing

Creatine tablets offer specific benefits:

• Convenience and dosing accuracy: tablets are pre-dosed, eliminating the need for a measuring cup and facilitating accurate dosing without the need for weighing.
• Easy portability.
• No taste problem: For those who are bothered by the taste of powdered supplements, tablets are a great alternative as they are quickly swallowed whole.
• Reduced digestive upset: The tablets break down more slowly in the stomach, reducing the risk of digestive upset for athletes who have this problem when supplementing with the powdered form of creatine alone.
• Tablets tend to be more stableand less prone to degradation than powdered forms, especially due to moisture.

Uses

• Athletes: Especially those involved in strength sports, speed sports, interval sports and combat sports where explosive power and repeated short-term performance is required.
• For individuals seeking to increase muscle volume and strength.
• To improve recovery: helps muscles recover faster after intense training.
• For the elderly: To help maintain muscle mass and function.
• For vegetarians and vegans: Due to their low dietary intake of creatine, they may experience more significant benefits from creatine supplementation.

Expert studies have shown that the effects of creatine supplementation may reduce the benefits of dietary creatine supplementation.

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most scientifically researched dietary supplements with over 680 peer-reviewed clinical studies.

• Increase muscle strength and performance: Numerous studies, including meta-analyses, have confirmed that creatine monohydrate increases maximal strength (1RM) and power output during repeated sprints or maximal-effort sets. For example, the "International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: creatine supplementation and exercise" (Kerksick et al., 2017) summarizes extensive evidence that creatine is effective for enhancing physical performance in short-term, high-intensity activities.
• Muscle mass gain: studies such as "Effects of creatine supplementation on body composition, strength, and sprint performance" (Buford et al., 2007) have shown that the use of creatine in combination with resistance training leads to a significant increase in muscle mass compared to training without supplementation.
• Safety: Extensive studies have shown that creatine monohydrate is safe for healthy individuals at recommended dosages. A study from Frontiers in Nutrition (2025) states that creatine supplementation is safe and beneficial for life, with over 680 peer-reviewed clinical studies that looked at doses up to 30 grams per day for 14 years in various populations. It is important to note that concerns about kidney damage have been refuted by numerous studies in healthy individuals.
• Cognitive function: studies such as "Creatine supplementation and cognitive performance in elderly individuals" (McMorris et al., 2007) suggest that creatine may improve cognitive function, especially in older adults and in situations of sleep deprivation or stress. Overall, creatine monohydrate is still considered one of the most effective and safest supplements for improving athletic performance and muscle growth, with a number of other potential benefits for the body.
