What is Creatine?

Creatine is a natural source of energy that helps your skeletal muscles flex (contract). It helps create a steady supply of energy in your muscles so they can keep working, especially while you’re exercising.

Many amateur and professional athletes take creatine supplements to aid their workout routines and improve their recovery. Creatine creates “quick burst” energy and increased strength, which improves your performance without affecting your ability to exercise for longer periods (aerobic endurance).
In addition, studies suggest that creatine supplements may help brain function in older adults. This includes:
For people who work out regularly, studies show that taking creatine supplements may:
In addition to its athletic benefits, creatine supplements may benefit people who have:
It depends on your exercise routine. But some studies show that people who take creatine supplements may gain an extra two to four pounds of muscle mass during four to 12 weeks of regular exercise than people who don’t take creatine.
According to a position statement from The International Society of Sports Nutrition, creatine is the world’s most effective supplement for adding muscle mass (1Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source).
Taking it for as few as 5–7 days has been shown to significantly increase lean body weight and muscle size.
This initial rise is caused by increases in the water content of your muscles (15Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source).
Over the long term, it also aids in muscle fiber growth by signaling key biological pathways and boosting gym performance (12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source, 15Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).
In one study of a 6-week training regimen followed by a 3-week detraining period, participants who used creatine added 4.4 pounds (2 kg) more muscle mass, on average, than the control group, who showed no gains at all (23Trusted Source).
Similarly, a comprehensive review demonstrated a clear increase in muscle mass among those taking creatine, compared with those performing the same training regimen without creatine (27Trusted Source).
Of the many popular sports supplements on the market, creatine consistently ranks among the best athletic performance supplements available. Its advantages include being relatively inexpensive and having been verified safe when compared with many other sports supplements (27Trusted Source).
When considering any type of supplementation, it’s important to talk with a healthcare professional to learn more about whether it’s a suitable and safe option for you.

Guarana is a popular ingredient in many energy and soft drinks. Amazonian tribes have used it for its therapeutic effects for centuries.

Guarana is commonly touted for its ability to:

 

  1. reduce fatigue
  2. boost energy
  3. aid learning and memory
  4. better heart health
  5. weight loss
  6. pain relief
  7. healthier skin
  8. lower cancer risk
  9. decreased risk of age-related eye diseases
  10. Guarana may help workouts feel easier and be more efficient.

In fact, guarana contains about twice as much caffeine as coffee. However, the effect is different from that of coffee. The caffeine is released more slowly. This means that the energy boost lasts longer and is more consistent, without the “high” and “low” that are sometimes associated with coffee

Guarana is a popular ingredient in brands like Monster Energy®, Rockstar Energy®, Red Bull® and the Brazilian soda drink Guaraná Antarctica
