Creatine Monohydrate by Switch Nutrition
What is Creatine Monohydrate?
One of the greatest ergogenic substances in sports nutrition is undoubtedly Creatine Monohydrate. This heavily researched compound has shown amazing results for improving strength, power lifts and muscle gains. Switch Nutrition have sourced a premium, 100% pure Creatine Monohydrate for optimal results.
Creatine Monohydrate has earnt a solid reputation in the sports supplement world, with over 500 studies showing its benefits. There are positive influences seen on muscle growth, endurance, power, energy output and even brain function. The monohydrate form of Creatine is highly researched, and a bioavailable type the body absorbs easily. You have been warned, results will be swift!
Creatine Monohydrate is amazing for:
- Lean muscle mass
- Extra power & strength
- Energy levels
- Endurance
- Brain & cognitive support
Creatine is a tripeptide made from three different amino acids- methionine, glycine and arginine. Amino acids form the building blocks of all cells and tissue, an important factor for the brain and muscles.
A healthy diet full of meat, eggs and dairy does contain Creatine, yet may not be in adequate amounts. Vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian diets can specifically be low in Creatine, and supplementation will be extra helpful.
Creatine Monohydrate is:
- Vegan
- Unflavoured
- Free of fillers, additives and chemical nasties
Approximately 90-95% of our natural Creatine is stored in skeletal muscles and used to make ATP energy for functional movement. Creatine’s job is to increase the store of something called phosphocreatine, which supports the release of energy. This propels muscle building, and strength to another level.
Scientific research has shown supplementing Creatine can greatly improve power, endurance and muscle gains when combined with strength training.
One study showed a 17% improvement in cycling sprints, in just 4 weeks! Another showed an average of 8 kg increase for bench press 1-rep max over a 4-week period.
The results of regular Creatine supplementation are clear, for rapid improvement in lean muscle mass, energy and sports performance. Perform and recover like a pro, with Switch Creatine Monohydrate.

Frequently asked questions
-
How much creatine should I use?
We recommend consuming 5g of Creatine Monohydrate 1-2 times a day. Taken immediately pre or post-workout with a protein and carbohydrate blend. Alternatively, it may be mixed with the beverage of your choice and consumed immediately after mixing.
-
Do I need to do a loading dose with Creatine?
It is not necessary to implement a ‘loading period’ (typically a high dose for 5-7 days, followed by a lower maintenance dose). However, doing so can increase your muscle creatine stores more rapidly. Supplementation with 20g daily for 5-7 days can increase stores by 10-40%. But as mentioned, this loading strategy is unnecessary. Most research seems to show a dose of 5g daily is the maximum needed to elicit benefits over time. Creatine needs to be taken continuously over a number of weeks to gain benefit. Creatine does not act like a stimulant such as caffeine where the impact of performance is acute and nearly immediate. Rather, creatine has its benefit when it accumulates and muscle stores become saturated.
-
Does Creatine cause dehydration?
Some do say that creatine causes muscle cramps and dehydration. However, creatine may actually serve to protect against dehydration by drawing more water into cells. Studies have shown increases in total muscle creatine stores following supplementation led to increased water retention, particularly within the muscle itself.
-
Is creatine bad for me? Will it damage my kidneys/liver?
In short, no. Creatine is not bad for you if dosed suitably. Like many other amino acids overdosing on Creatine for an extended period can put too much load on the kidneys and the liver. However we naturally consume creatine in every day foods such as beef and the human body can use creatine effectively to restore intra muscular energy levels. When dosed correctly, creatine will not harm the body but will aid performance greatly.
