Creatine monohydrate is a form of creatine, an amino acid that plays a role in energy production in the muscles and energy metabolism in the brain.
It provides energy in the form of phosphocreatine (PCr), which is essential for maintaining cellular ATP levels.
Creatine allows muscles to produce greater power and output during exercise, and may speed up recovery.
The increased energy supply to brain cells may also help to improve cognitive function.
