As a dietary compound that is only found in animal proteins such as meat and fish, and given that the body naturally excretes approximately 2 grams per day, there is a strong rationale for creatine supplementation in targeted populations. A plethora of research has confirmed that creatine supplements, often in the form of creatine monohydrate, have ergogenic benefits for both resistance training and high intensity interval training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine supplementation has been shown to improve strength gains from resistance training by approximately 10-20% relative to resistance training alone. Moreover, supplemental creatine allows for athletes to train harder and with greater volume before reaching fatigue. The end result is greater muscle hypertrophy and accumulation of lean muscle tissue over time. When it comes to endurance training, the benefits of creatine are less obvious but still noteworthy. Although creatine does not seem to improve peak oxygen uptake or produce faster race times in purely aerobic exercise, it can play a role in activities with high-intensity segments of cardiovascular exercise, such as hockey, soccer or swimming sprints. Greater power output can be achieved during these surges in effort, while recovery times between training sessions may also be reduced. In this sense, creatine may act to reduce the likelihood of injury from overtraining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn more recent years, studies have explored the impact of creatine on other body systems and discovered that its indications reach beyond muscle tissues and into the neurological system, perhaps providing cognitive benefits as well. For example, greater dietary creatine intake in older adults has been linked with better cognitive outcomes when compared to lower dietary intake. A 2024 systematic review of 16 randomized control trials specifically found that creatine monohydrate supplementation improved areas of memory, attention time and processing speed. A separate review of 23 randomized control trials found that creatine improved memory in healthy adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the realm of exercise physiology and cognitive support, magnesium certainly belongs in the conversation with creatine. Magnesium is responsible for maintaining both proper nerve and muscle function through its regulation of calcium. Not unlike creatine, it plays key roles in the creation of cellular energy within the mitochondria, while also acting as a cofactor to build DNA, RNA and many proteins. Despite its vast importance, it is commonly deficient in the Canadian population due to poor diet, medication depletions and stress. Suboptimal magnesium levels can create a pro-inflammatory state within the body which can negatively affect both muscle and nerve function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCyto-Matrix offers a unique blend of creatine monohydrate and MagnaPower®, a proprietary chelate of creatine bound to magnesium, to deliver the benefits of each nutrient.

Two-thirds of intramuscular creatine is phosphocreatine (PCr) and the remaining one-third is free creatine. Dietary creatine is found primarily in red meat and seafood. Individuals who consume creatine-rich foods may have higher tissue creatine levels than those who do not, such as vegans and vegetarians. Human physiology has a limited capacity for producing creatine on its own, making it important to obtain adequate amounts from food or supplementation. Between 1% to 2% of creatine in the muscle is metabolized and excreted through the urine. Therefore, the body requires between 1 and 3 grams of creatine per day to maintain normal creatine stores, dependent on an individual’s muscle mass, and even more for muscle growth. PCr is used to generate cellular energy in skeletal muscles in the form of ATP, which is the fuel to contract muscles and perform other metabolic tasks. Creatine supplementation can promote the capacity of ATP production, which supports performance output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExercise Performance \u0026amp; Muscle Hypertrophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and considered the most effective and safe ergogenic supplement for promoting high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass during training.1-3 It is well-established in scientific research that creatine supplementation leads to an increase in muscle creatine concentrations, production of cellular energy as ATP, and enhanced anaerobic intermittent exercise performance, which supports on-field performance for competitive athletes.3 Short- and long-term ergogenic benefits of creatine supplementation have been demonstrated in both trained and untrained men and women, including nonathletes.

Creatine levels decline with age and muscle strength declines at a rate of 1.2% to 1.5% per year after age 50.4 Research shows creatine has beneficial effects for maintaining lean muscle at any age, especially in older individuals. A meta-analysis showed that older adults receiving creatine supplementation had significantly increased lean body mass and upper and lower body muscle strength during resistance training. This suggests that creatine supplementation may help reduce the risk of age-related muscle loss in the aging population.1,5 In aging bone, emerging research demonstrated that men aged 50 years and older who were supplemented  with creatine for 10 to 12 weeks in conjunction with whole-body resistance training had a reduction in bone resorption and increased upper limb bone mineral density compared to a placebo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEndogenous creatine synthesis occurs in the brain and nervous system; their transporters are found at the blood-brain barrier, neurons, and oligodendrocytes, indicating that brain PCr is not solely influenced by dietary intake from food.6 Current research shows creatine supplementation may support brain health and cognitive processing by increasing brain creatine and ATP content, particularly in conditions characterized by deficits in brain PCr that may be caused by aging, acute stressors (e.g., sleep deprivation), or other conditions such as mild traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression.6-8 Animal and human studies suggest prophylactic supplementation may have potential neuroprotective benefits in those at risk for injury or brain ischemia. In fact, the International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends, “all athletes who are involved in sports with risk to traumatic brain injury and\/or spinal cord injury should take creatine to reduce the severity of these types of injury.”1,8 Supplementation may support healthy muscle, energy, and well-being throughout life when considering the role of creatine for energy production, metabolism, and cognitive and muscle function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Micronized Creatine Monohydrate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicronized creatine is a powdered form of creatine monohydrate that utilizes a micronizing technology that reduces the particle size by 20 times.
