Creatine – what does research say?
Creatine is not a new supplement. It's not trendy. And POW Creatine does not come in a "limited edition salted caramel cloud dream". It is 100% creatine monohydrate, manufactured in Sweden, without flavor or fillers.
Because that's all it needs to be.
What is creatine?
Creatine is a substance naturally produced in the body and stored primarily in skeletal muscle. It plays a central role in the body's fastest energy system – the so-called phosphagen system – which is activated during short, explosive efforts.
Simply put: when you lift heavy, sprint for the bus, or push out that last rep, this is the system that drives you. And creatine is the fuel.
By supplementing with creatine, you increase your muscles' creatine stores. More stores mean more available fast energy – which can manifest as increased strength, better endurance during high-intensity training, and faster recovery.
A little more fuel. A little more power.
What does research say?
Creatine is one of the most well-researched dietary supplements available. International organizations such as ISSN (International Society of Sports Nutrition) and EFSA (the EU food safety authority) have reviewed the research and drawn clear conclusions:
- Creatine contributes to increased physical performance during short, high-intensity training
- Creatine monohydrate is the form with the strongest scientific support
- Regular intake is completely safe for healthy adults
What is POW Creatine?
- 100% creatine monohydrate – the form with the strongest research support, nothing else
- Made in Sweden – under controlled and traceable conditions
- Easily dissolvable – dissolves quickly in water, juice, or your usual shake without lumps
How to take creatine?
The recommended daily intake in Sweden is 3–5 grams. You don't need to load, cycle, or time it perfectly. The most important thing is consistency.
- Take 3–5 grams daily – a scoop is included in the packaging
- Mix in whatever you want – water, smoothie, porridge, juice, or protein shake
- Anytime of day – it absolutely doesn't matter
The most important thing is not when you take it. It's that you take it. Every day.
POW Creatine. Tasteless. But never meaningless.
Small dose. Big ambitions.
