Lean Dean Creatine Ultra Pure Micronised Monohydrate has always been a product I use to supplement my training. It’s proven to increase the body’s ability to produce energy more efficiently and is beneficial for any type of activity that involves short sharp bursts of power. I use monohydrate, as it is the most highly researched and proven form of creatine.

Creatine is an innate naturally occurring compound which is derived from the amino acids, glycine, arginine and methionine and is primarily stored in the skeletal muscles within the body. Muscular Creatine stores are depleted through intense exercise, making supplementation essential to maintain training level and intensity.

Creatine enhances the body’s ability to produce ATP, which is the molecule that is the primary source for muscle contractions. ATP is an energy molecule and supplementing creatine increases the muscle’s ability to produce energy and improves strength and power during high intensity exercise. Creatine is also beneficial for muscle mass and lean body mass as it stimulates protein synthesis and can help athletes maintain/build muscle more effectively when combined with resistance training.

Creatine supports post exercise recovery by reducing damage and inflammation of muscles, allowing faster recovery between training sessions and the ability to increase training at higher intensity. Creatine increases water content within muscle cells, which enhances hydration. This is beneficial for athletes that require endurance and prolonged endurance.

Benefits of taking creatine are

• Enhances strength training.

• Boosts cognitive function.

• Helps to build muscle.

• Used to help gain weight and size.

• Boosts Ballistic power over 10-15 second bursts.

• Enhances muscle endurance.

• Improves muscle mass.

• Enhances recovery periods.

• Helps muscles to recover, allowing for more intense workouts.

• Improves muscle fatigue.

• Enhance hydration.
