What is Creatine?

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched sports supplements on the market. Used by both recreational gym goers and elite athletes alike. It is a non-essential compound that can be synthesised in the body or obtained through the diet but not to the levels needed to enhance muscle creatine stores.

Creatine plays a critical role in energy production during high-intensity muscle contractions. The benefits of supplementation include: increased power, improved muscle strength & tone, and improved performance in short-term high-intensity exercise. It is popular with powerlifters, bodybuilders, footballers, and sprinters.

Our creatine also includes sugars. When creatine is taken with sugars it causes insulin to be produced. This insulin carries creatine into the muscle effectively. What’s in it? We’ve used creatine monohydrate. This form of creatine is the most researched. ‘Monohydrate’ simply means that the creatine has been linked with a molecule of water for stability. Our creatine also includes fructose. When creatine is taken with sugars it causes insulin to be produced. This insulin carries creatine into the muscle effectively.

How will it help me?

Creatine is a chemical found naturally in the body. It is a derivative of amino acids. Creatine is a molecule that can be naturally produced in the body; it is created in the kidneys and liver by the amino acids glycine, arginine and methionine and then transported to the muscles where it is stored as phosphocreatine, otherwise known as creatine phosphate.

Creatine can be obtained through a small number of foods. It is often used to improve exercise performance and muscle mass. Creatine is involved in the production of energy for muscles. Approximately 95% is found in skeletal muscle. People who have lower creatine levels when they start taking creatine seem to get more benefits than people who start with higher levels.

People commonly use creatine to improve exercise performance and increase muscle mass. It is also used for muscle cramps and fatigue. The use of creatine is permitted by the International Olympic Committee and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Creatine is used within the cells of muscles to help to regenerate energy.

Our muscles and every other cell in our body are fuelled by adenosine triphosphate - ATP for short. As we only have enough ATP at any one time to provide enough energy for 2-3 seconds, our body has numerous ‘energy systems’ that it can call upon to synthesise ATP and thus continue the flow of energy. This pathway provides rapid power and almost exclusively fuels the first 10-15 seconds of intense exercise.

How do I take it?

You can simply take 15g of our creatine mixed with water or juice daily, and you can take it any time of day. Maintain good hydration while using creatine supplements.

Do not use if you have a history of kidney problems.

Who it's for

For people who train hard and want the one supplement that actually has the evidence.

15g (three teaspoons) in about 250ml of water, once a day, any time. Shake it well. It works by saturating your muscles over three to four weeks, so taking it every day matters more than when you take it. Keep well hydrated.

Why it isn't just creatine, honestly

A 15g scoop is 4.25g creatine and about 11g carbohydrate from corn flour and fructose, plus a natural forest fruit flavour. Plain creatine is cheaper per gram, and we'll say so. The carbohydrate is there because it triggers insulin, which helps carry creatine into muscle, and the flavour is there because plain creatine in water is grim. If you'd rather take unflavoured monohydrate with a glass of juice, that works too.

What to expect

Week 1

Nothing you'll notice. Your muscles are still filling their creatine stores.

Weeks 2–4

An extra rep or two at the end of hard sets. Muscles look slightly fuller — that's water, and it's normal.

Week 4+

This is where the research shows the effect. Judge it here, not before.

A note from Gareth, founder

I built Octi in Edinburgh because I was tired of guessing what was actually in the capsule. Every amount is on the label. If it's not right for you, email me and I'll sort it.

Questions

Do I need a loading phase?
No. One scoop a day gets you to saturation in three to four weeks. Loading just gets you there in one week with more stomach upset.
Why 4.25g and not 5g?
The authorised performance claim is for 3g a day. 4.25g covers that with margin. More than that is mostly excreted.
What does it taste like?
Forest fruit — a natural fruit powder with a little xylitol. It mixes cleanly in water because it's milled to 200 mesh; no grit at the bottom of the glass.
Will I put on weight?
Usually around a kilo in the first few weeks. It's water drawn into the muscle, not fat, and it's part of how creatine works.
Do I take it on rest days?
Yes. The effect comes from keeping your muscles saturated, so every day, training or not.
Is it safe for my kidneys?
In healthy adults, creatine at this dose is one of the most studied supplements there is. Do not use it if you have a history of kidney problems, and keep well hydrated.
