Zero calories, zero macros, completely tasteless and dissolves readily in any drink. One scoop (5g) delivers a full daily maintenance dose of the most clinically studied performance supplement in sports nutrition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT IS CREAPURE® AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreapure® is a registered trademark of AlzChem Trostberg GmbH in Germany — it is not a generic grade of creatine monohydrate, but a specific, independently verified specification produced at a single facility in Germany to pharmaceutical-grade standards. The Creapure® trademark guarantees verified absence of manufacturing impurities including dihydrotriazine, dicyandiamide and creatinine, as well as heavy metals. It is produced via a patented synthesis process with full traceability and is the creatine specification used in the majority of clinical research that underpins creatine's evidence base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost creatine monohydrate on the market is manufactured in China to a 99% standard. Creapure® sits at 99.99% — the highest commercially available purity specification for creatine monohydrate. That 0.99% gap represents the absence of impurities that lower-specification manufacturing leaves behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT CREATINE ACTUALLY DOES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine is stored in muscle tissue as phosphocreatine. During high-intensity effort — sprinting, lifting, any maximal output lasting a few seconds — the body consumes ATP faster than aerobic metabolism can regenerate it. Phosphocreatine donates a phosphate group to ADP to rapidly regenerate ATP, extending the window of maximum-output performance. More phosphocreatine in muscle means more power sustained for longer before fatigue sets in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mechanism is established beyond doubt. The effects on strength, power output and high-intensity performance are among the most replicated findings in sports science. Secondary benefits — lean muscle development, recovery, and cognitive performance (creatine is a substrate for ATP production in the brain as well as in muscle) — are also well-supported in research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATP® Science NOWAY!","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":45070508687411,"sku":"9356256004615","price":49.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/8274\/7443\/files\/atp-science-creapure-creatine-monohydrate-topdog-nutrition-9782851_png_d5ae0dc4-4dea-4bad-ad9d-b4eab4b308ba.jpg?v=1792125351","url":"https:\/\/pumpingiron.co.nz\/products\/atp%c2%ae-science-creature-creatine-monohydrate-250g","provider":"Pumping Iron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
