What creatine does
Why it works
One of sport's most-studied compounds. Creatine monohydrate is among the most-researched ingredients in sports nutrition. It works by topping up phosphocreatine in your muscles, which helps regenerate ATP — the energy your body burns first during short, explosive efforts [1].
The form the research uses. Monohydrate is the most-studied form of creatine and the one used at the classic ~5g daily dose in the research literature. This bottle delivers 700mg per capsule, so seven capsules give 4.9g — right in that researched range — while four capsules give 2.8g for general maintenance.
Capsules instead of powder. Each dose is pre-measured at 700mg, so there is no scooping, no shaker and no gritty texture to get past. You count capsules to your goal and take them with water — useful for the gym bag, travel, or anyone who simply dislikes mixing creatine into a drink.

How to use
- General maintenance — 4 capsules (2.8g): take once daily with water, or split into two doses of two capsules.
- Enhanced performance — up to 7 capsules (4.9g): divide into two to three doses across the day, for example three capsules in the morning and four post-workout.
- Stay consistent: with creatine, taking it every day matters more than the exact timing — muscle stores build up over consistent daily use.

- Vegetarians and vegans wanting a researched creatine
- Trainers who want a pre-measured dose for the gym bag or travel

Frequently asked questions
What is creatine monohydrate?
Creatine monohydrate is the most-researched form of creatine in sports nutrition. It tops up the phosphocreatine your muscles use to regenerate ATP — the fast energy behind short, explosive efforts like lifting and sprinting. It is usually taken at around 3 to 5 grams a day.
How many capsules should I take?
Each capsule holds 700mg of creatine monohydrate. For general maintenance the label suggests four capsules (2.8g) daily; for enhanced performance, up to seven capsules (4.9g), which is in line with the ~5g daily dose used in most research. Take larger doses split across the day.
Why capsules instead of powder?
Capsules are pre-measured at 700mg each, so there is no scooping, shaking or gritty texture. You count capsules to your goal and swallow them with water. The trade-off is that a full performance dose is several capsules — convenient and portable, but a few capsules rather than one scoop.
How is this different from creatine monohydrate powder?
It is the same ingredient — creatine monohydrate — in a capsule instead of a tub of powder. Capsules suit people who dislike mixing or want a portable, pre-measured dose. Powder is usually cheaper per gram and quicker to reach a 5g dose in one scoop. Choose the format you will use consistently.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. The capsule shell is vegetarian and plant-based, and the creatine monohydrate inside is not animal-derived, so the product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. The panel lists a single ingredient with no other added ingredients, fillers or flavours.
Do I need to drink water with it?
Yes. Take each dose with plenty of water and stay well hydrated through the day. Good hydration helps creatine do its job and keeps your stomach comfortable, particularly during your first week of taking it. Build up gradually if you are new to creatine.
How long will one bottle last?
Each bottle holds 160 capsules. At four capsules a day for general maintenance that is about 40 days; at seven capsules a day for enhanced performance, about three weeks. The label lists 22 to 40 servings per bottle depending on the daily dose you choose.
