What if I told you there’s a legal super soldier serum for athletes? You’d probably think it’s a steroid or some made-up scam, right? But actually, there’s a supplement—heavily tested and already naturally made in your body—that boosts performance… just by drinking more water! Sounds good, right? Keep reading to learn more.

So, what is the secret?

The wait is over—say hello to creatine! It’s a natural compound your body makes in small doses to fuel your muscles during intense workouts or heavy lifting. You can get a bit from fish and red meat but for peak performance, supplements are best. It’s actually “One of the most heavily researched supplements around” so there is no need to stress about side effects. Creatine’s job is to help your body make more adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the stuff your cells use for energy. When you’re doing short, explosive exercise, your ATP runs out quickly and that’s when you feel fatigued. Taking creatine boosts your phosphocreatine stores, letting you hold more ATP and regain it faster. I’ve used it in my own training, in boxing and weightlifting lifting and it’s helped me build strength and size without the unwanted fat. The recommended dosage is 20g a day for 4–7 days to load up, then 3g daily to keep levels steady. Since creatine pulls water into your muscles, it’s important to drink more water to stay hydrated and avoid cramps or bloating. Creatine also comes in the form of gummies and tablets for convenience.

Benefits

Creatine is most popular for building muscle strength and size so athletes and lifters who use it can gain between 5% and 30% more strength and muscle than those who don’t. It’s great for bodybuilding and powerlifting, but it’s not just for those sports, creatine also boosts performance in Sprinting, CrossFit, and any sports with short bursts of energy. Plus, research shows it helps reduce muscle damage after workouts, speeding up recovery and lowering the risk of injury. But creatine isn’t just for muscles—it’s good for the brain too. Since the brain also needs ATP, creatine can help with mental fatigue, sleep deprivation, and interestingly to support brain health in conditions like Parkinson’s.

Any risks?

There are no medical risks for healthy individuals taking creatine. Individuals with kidney problems should consult a doctor before taking the supplement as they should before taking any supplements. The only real drawback of creatine for athletes is the temporary increase in weight which can be an issue in sports with weight categories.

Conclusion

I think a great new idea to experiment with creatine is in its delivery system. Developing a wearable patch that delivers micro-doses in response to your bodies needs would be great for athletes performances and eliminate risks such as forgetting to take the supplement.
