Creatine is the most extensively studied performance supplement in history — 300+ human trials, 30+ years of safety data, and one of the only supplements where the consensus across exercise physiology and neurology is "this actually works."
PeakRx Creatine Monohydrate is 5g micronized Creapure® per scoop — the form and dose used in nearly every published trial. Mix into water, juice, coffee, or a shake once daily.

How it works
How it works
Creatine is stored in muscle and brain tissue as phosphocreatine. When your cells need rapid ATP regeneration (a hard set, a sprint, a hard cognitive task), phosphocreatine donates a phosphate to ADP, regenerating ATP in milliseconds.
Two well-replicated effects:
- Muscle creatine saturation rises ~20% over 2-4 weeks of 5g/day, producing measurable gains in maximum strength and short-duration power output
- Brain creatine concentration also rises measurably, with trials showing modest cognitive benefits — especially in sleep-deprived states or in vegetarians whose baseline brain creatine is lower
Loading phase (20g/day for 5 days) is not necessary. 5g/day from day one reaches the same plateau in about 4 weeks.
Why this formula
Why this formula
Most creatine on the market is monohydrate — that's good, because monohydrate is the form 95% of clinical trials used. Skip the "creatine HCl" and "buffered creatine" marketing; the evidence base is thin and the costs are higher.
What separates ours:
- Creapure® — the German-manufactured monohydrate used in the largest peer-reviewed trials. Lab-verified absence of dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazines.
- Micronized — finer particle size, faster mixing, no gritty texture
- 5g exact-dose scoop — no eyeballing

Frequently asked questions
Will creatine make me bloated or hold water?
Creatine pulls water *into* muscle cells, which is part of how it works. You won't look bloated. Subcutaneous water retention (the kind that masks definition) is not a creatine effect at 5g/day.
Is creatine safe for my kidneys?
In people with normal kidney function, yes — extensively studied. Creatine raises serum creatinine slightly as a metabolic byproduct, which can mimic worsening renal function on lab tests. Tell your physician you take creatine before any kidney-related blood work.
Do I need to load with 20g for the first week?
No. Loading saturates muscle stores in 5-7 days vs ~4 weeks with 5g/day. The end-state is the same. Skip loading unless you need the effect fast.
Should I take it before or after workouts?
Doesn't materially matter. Timing has been studied; the trials show daily total intake matters far more than when you take it. Take it whenever you'll consistently remember.
Is creatine effective for vegetarians?
Yes — and they often respond more than meat-eaters because baseline muscle and brain creatine are lower. Cognitive benefits in trials are often larger in vegetarian subgroups.
