Collection: Creatine

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound stored in muscle cells that helps regenerate energy during short bursts of high-intensity exercise. It is widely used in sports nutrition to support strength, power output, and performance in resistance training and explosive movements.

Creatine supports muscle building indirectly by improving strength, power output, and training performance. This allows athletes to train harder and more consistently over time, which can contribute to increased lean muscle development when combined with proper nutrition and resistance training. Applied Nutrition's Creatine range combines creatine with other products like electrolytes and peptides to further support exercise performance.

Creatine may cause an increase in body weight due to increased water retention within muscle cells. This is a normal and expected response and is often associated with improved muscle fullness and performance rather than fat gain.

Creatine begins working once muscle stores become saturated, which typically occurs within 1–4 weeks depending on dosage and consistency. Users may notice performance improvements in strength and training output during this period. In short, how long creatine takes to work depends on your dose and adherence.
