Creatine Monohydrate - Proven Effective

Creatine monohydrate has been proven to be one of the most effective and safe supplements currently on the market. There are a number of clinical studies that suggest supplementing with creatine leads to increases in lean mass, strength, and power.

EPH Labs CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate contains 5 grams of pure creatine monohydrate. Creatine is a naturally occurring, non-protein amino acid mainly found in skeletal muscle. It’s actually a combination of the amino acids glycine, arginine, and methionine. About two-thirds of intramuscular creatine is phosphocreatine, with the remaining one-third free creatine. The key function of creatine in the body is to help create ATP, the energy source for your muscles.

CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate Increases Performance And Improves Strength

As mentioned, phosphocreatine is a molecule that plays a role in the formation of ATP. This is, again as noted, broken down during your training sessions to produce muscular energy. ATP is used faster than it is produced. This limits your ability to train with optimal intensity during your workouts. Supplementing creatine monohydrate has been shown to increase phosphocreatine stores. This means ATP production is increased. That means you have enough ATP energy to power your muscles during high-intensity workouts. Therefore, you will experience increased workout performance and training quality over your reps and sets, leading to impressive gains in strength and mass. (1)

Studies Back Up The Effectiveness Of CREA-8!

Clinical studies have shown that creatine supplementation led to increased max strength on the bench press and squat. In one study, seven participants experienced a significant one-rep max (1RM) increase of 11.5% in the squat and a 1RM bench press increase of 13%, while using a creatine monohydrate supplement ( such as EPH Labs CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate) for 10 weeks. (2)

EPH Labs CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate Increases Fat-Free Mass 

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most effective supplements available for increasing lean muscle. The primary way it does this is by increasing cell volume, which in turn is a stimulus for protein synthesis. Of course, protein synthesis is a direct trigger for muscle growth.

A comprehensive review showed that supplementing with creatine monohydrate resulted in an increase in muscle mass compared to those lifters performing the same training program without creatine.

Even A Low Dose Is Effective!

In addition, creatine may also help reduce cholesterol and fat accumulation in the liver. It has been reported that using even a lower dose of creatine (0.1 g/kg/day) increased lean mass and strength while reducing markers of muscle protein degradation and bone resorption. Lifters who supplemented with creatine monohydrate experienced gains in muscle mass, strength, and functional capacity. (3)

With study results like the ones we’ve shown so far, we can’t think of a better reason to use EPH Labs CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate!

CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate Optimizes Recovery And Reduces Risk Of Injury

It’s clear that studies show that creatine monohydrate improves workout performance. As well, it has an important role in enhancing recovery and helping to prevent injuries. Also, it has been discovered that creatine loading before a workout promotes greater glycogen replenishment compared to carbohydrate loading alone. Glycogen replenishment promotes recovery and prevents overtraining during intense exercise. Therefore, supplementation may be extremely beneficial for lifters using heavy training loads. These individuals typically burn large amounts of glycogen. Also, creatine monohydrate users experience less cramping, strains, non-contact injury, and muscle tightness compared to those lifters not using creatine. (4)

EPH Labs CREA-8 Creatine Monohydrate Improves Brain Function

The brain uses a significant amount of ATP, especially when performing difficult tasks. Creatine monohydrate has been shown to play a key role in brain health. It does this by increasing dopamine levels and mitochondrial function. Prior studies have shown that supplementing 5 grams of creatine monohydrate over 6 weeks had a substantial positive effect on working memory and intelligence. (5)
