Creatine Isn’t Just for Gym Performance – It’s for Everyday Strength & Energy
For years, creatine has been boxed into one narrow category: bodybuilding. But creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched nutritional supplements globally — and its benefits extend far beyond the gym.
What Creatine Actually Does
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found primarily in skeletal muscle. It plays a role in energy metabolism by helping maintain levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) — the molecule your cells use for energy.
ATP fuels:
• Muscle contraction
• Repeated bursts of effort
• Short-duration, high-intensity activity
• Everyday physical movement
When you supplement with creatine, you’re supporting the availability of phosphocreatine — which helps replenish ATP during activity.
In simple terms: creatine helps your body produce energy more efficiently during periods of demand, especially during short-duration, high-intensity activity.
Not Just for ‘Gym Bros’
Research increasingly explores creatine supplementation for active ageing, menopause-related muscle changes, maintaining lean body mass, and supporting strength when combined with resistance training.
For women navigating perimenopause or menopause, muscle maintenance becomes especially important. Hormonal changes can accelerate muscle loss, making resistance training and appropriate nutrition critical. Creatine, when used alongside exercise, may assist in supporting strength and lean body mass.
Creatine and Cognitive Performance
Emerging research suggests creatine may support cognitive performance during periods of mental fatigue. Because the brain relies on ATP for energy, creatine’s role in cellular energy metabolism extends beyond muscle.
Everyday Strength Matters
You don’t need to train for a marathon to benefit from creatine.
Think about:
• Carrying groceries
• Climbing stairs
• Playing padel
• Strength training twice a week
• Keeping up with your children
• Staying independent as you age
Strength is longevity.
And creatine supports physical performance when used as part of a structured exercise and nutrition programme.
Why Solubility and Absorption Matter
Sfera Pure Creatine Monohydrate is made with OptiCreatine™, an optimised form of creatine with smaller, refined particles that dissolve easily and absorb fast. This improves mixability and supports consistent daily use.
Who Is Creatine For?
Adults over 18 who:
• Engage in resistance or high-intensity exercise
• Want to support strength and power output
• Are focused on maintaining lean muscle
• Are navigating menopause and prioritising muscle health
• Value evidence-based supplementation
Creatine is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age and should be used responsibly with adequate hydration.
