🧠 Creatine: The Most Researched Supplement in the World (and Why You Should Care)

For years, creatine has been seen as a “gym supplement” used only by bodybuilders and athletes.
But new research shows that creatine does far more than build muscle — it supports energy production, brain health, recovery, and performance across all ages and activity levels.

At Natural Health Shop Guernsey, we’re proud to stock two high-quality creatine options:
our own Sourced Creatine Monohydrate + Electrolytes and Love Life Pure Creatine Monohydrate.
Let’s dive into why creatine deserves a spot in your routine — no matter your goals.


What Creatine Actually Does

Creatine helps your body recycle ATP, your cells’ main source of energy.
More ATP = better strength, faster recovery, and improved endurance — whether you’re training, walking, or simply getting through a busy day.

Your body naturally makes creatine, but stress, diet, and intense activity can deplete it. Supplementation simply tops up what you already use — safely and effectively.


💪 The Science-Backed Benefits

Modern studies have confirmed creatine’s benefits go well beyond the gym:

  • Strength & Power: Proven to increase performance in short, high-intensity exercise.
  • Recovery: Supports faster muscle repair and reduces fatigue.
  • Cognition: Research shows creatine may enhance memory and focus.
  • Healthy Aging: Helps maintain muscle and energy as we age.
  • Cell Protection: Supports mitochondrial health and energy metabolism.

It’s no wonder creatine is now one of the most researched and trusted supplements in the world.


🧯 Myth-Busting: What Creatine Doesn’t Do

Let’s clear up a few common myths:

  • ❌ It doesn’t cause bloating when used properly.
  • ❌ It doesn’t harm kidneys in healthy adults.
  • ❌ It’s not a steroid.
  • ✅ It works best when taken daily — not just before workouts.

🧃 How to Use Creatine

Creatine is simple to take:

  • Dosage: 3–5 g daily (about one teaspoon).
  • Timing: Any time of day, ideally with food or carbohydrates for best absorption.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water — electrolytes help your body use it efficiently.
