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.
