Creatine Monohydrate is one of the safest, most researched and popular supplements used worldwide. Excel Labs’s Creatine is made from Creapure Creatine Monohydrate, the worlds purest creatine. Creatine acts as a buffer for our cellular energy source: ATP. Whenever energy is required, ATP is broken down to ADP. Creatine monohydrate helps to maintain our cellular pool of creatine phosphate1, which inturn helps to redux ADP back to ATP. The more creatine phosphate available, the greater the resynthesise of ATP. Due to this effect, creatine monohydrate has been shown to increase protein synthesis2, strength3, and muscle mass4. The benefits of creatine are not just limited to the weights room; creatine has also been shown to increase cognitive performance5. 1. Persky, A.M., Brazeau, G.A.
