Your go-to source for all things creatine
GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight. Creatine may need to be part of it.
Can creatine supplementation help protect muscle in people taking GLP-1 medications? A new paper lead by Jenerise advisor Felipe Ribeiro, published this month in The Journal of Nutritional Physiology, is one of the first scientific papers to ask the question directly.
The creatine era is here. We've been saying it for years.
FoodBev Magazine asked Jenerise some questions for their cover feature this month. The headline: The Creatine Era.
Creatine Isn't Having a Moment. It's Having a Movement.
And the industry needs to decide whether it's ready to lead it responsibly. Catch this month’s blog by our CEO, Steve Jennings.
Why Your Cells Are Thirsty
Supplementing with creatine requires extra water to be pulled into your muscle cells, making true cellular hydration essential for creating energy and building strength. Discover how to properly quench your body's hidden thirst to maximise your performance.
Seizing the Years with Devon Gholam
Meet Devon Gholam, PhD, for a radically transparent look at GLP-1s, perimenopause, and why creatine is an interesting partner for muscle preservation. Discover why "wacky" authenticity is the only way to win against wellness misinformation in the post-truth era of science.
Positioning Creatine in a Semaglutide World
Blaise Collins, PhD, ACSM-EP-C shares his current perspective on the relationship between creatine and weight management drugs. Can you supplement with Creatine while taking Semaglutide?
Managing the Creatine Conversation in Primary Care
A summary of our March 25th webinar in case you missed it. This is what the science actually says, and how to talk about it confidently.
What the Evidence Actually Shows About Creatine and Perimenopause
In our latest feature, Isabelle Statovci (MSc NutrDiet-APD) reveals why creatine monohydrate warrants consideration as a high-capacity backup battery during perimenopause and why we still need to be realistic about where the research sits right now.
Seizing the Years with Amanda Hardwick
“Every guy in the office has creatine on his desk. Hardly any of the women do." We sat down with Amanda Hardwick to talk about why and what the industry needs to do about it.
The Dosing Disconnect Nobody Is Talking About
In the last few months, I've watched a steady stream of high-profile names (celebrities, performance scientists, podcast regulars) talk about creatine's remarkable benefits for cognitive function: brain fog, sleep deprivation, mental sharpness, mood. March musings from our CEO, Steve Jennings.
Creatine HCL vs. Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate remains the top-tier type of creatine; 680+ peer-reviewed studies, lower cost, and essentially complete bioavailability. Creatine HCL is a legitimate and effective alternative with real formulation benefits, but it has not been shown to outperform Monohydrate in head-to-head clinical trials.
Creatine Biology in the Context of Cancer
Creatine should not be framed as an anticancer therapy, but as a supportive measure. Blaise Collins, PhD, ACSM-EP-C breaks down why interest has grown in whether manipulating creatine availability could influence the various hallmarks of cancer.
The Defence System of Muscle Growth
When you think of building muscle, you probably picture lifting heavy weights, getting stronger, or improving your physique. But what if your muscles are actually a hidden command centre for your immune system?
The Mental Resilience Angle of Creatine Supplementation
Creatine monohydrate is proving to be much more than a sports supplement. By optimising the way your brain produces and utilises energy, it offers a safe, accessible way to boost cognitive performance, combat mental fatigue, and potentially manage severe conditions like depression and Alzheimer's disease.
Why Creatine Consistency is Key
What if we view health through the lens of metabolic durability? Nothing embodies this philosophy more than the daily ritual of creatine.
Creatine’s New Normal
Catch up with our CEO, Steve Jennings, about why creatine quality should be a non-negotiable, prerequisite at this point.
Why Your Midlife Muscle Matters More Than You Think
Can you hold a plank for 60 seconds? Hang from a bar for a minute? Perform 10 push-ups or complete 15 squats in 30 seconds? Isabelle Statovci breaks down why functional muscle strength in midlife is linked to lower mortality and greater long-term independence in women.
Seizing the Years with Isabelle Statovci
Born in Australia and now based in Switzerland, Isabelle brings a unique boots on the ground perspective to clinical science, one that actually prioritises the person behind the data points. Isabelle sees a human being who has to physically show up, move, and respond to life and the world around them.
Sleep Recovery and the Creatine Connection
We’ve all had those days where the need for a 3rd or 4th coffee feels real, right? However, as we move into a new era of biological resilience and metabolic health, we are definitely discovering that the answer to real fatigue is not just masking it with stimulants. The answer actually lies in the cellular infrastructure of the brain itself.
Why Creatine Matters as You Age
Supplementing with creatine may provide the brain with the fuel it needs to stay a little sharper. Research shows that adults over the age of fifty-five often see improvements in their attention and their ability to remember things. It helps the brain cells stay healthy and energised so you can maintain your mental clarity.
