In sports nutrition, few products command as much agreement among researchers and athletes as creatine. It has been on the market for decades, but in recent years — and 2025 in particular — creatine has become one of the most popular and most recommended sports supplements.
Whether you are after strength, performance in high-intensity training or faster recovery, creatine has established itself in the routine of a great many athletes.
Why creatine is booming again
Unlike supplements that turned out to be passing fashions, creatine’s current run rests on solid ground:
- The evidence: a great many studies show creatine improves performance, maximum strength and muscle recovery.
- Versatility: it is not only for bodybuilding or strength sports; runners, footballers, swimmers and endurance athletes benefit too.
- Price: it is relatively cheap compared with other products on the market.
- Safety: taken properly, creatine is safe and well tolerated by most people.
Recent research has also looked at benefits beyond sport, such as a possible positive effect on brain health and on muscle ageing.
Types of creatine: which to choose
There are several types on the market:
- Creatine monohydrate: the most studied and most recommended form. Simple, effective and the best value.
- Creapure® creatine: a high-purity version made in Germany, with maximum absorption and minimal water retention.
- Combined creatines: creatine mixed with other components (amino acids, electrolytes) to push recovery or performance further.
The recommendation remains a good-quality monohydrate, preferably Creapure® certified, particularly if you want reliable and safe results.

How to fit creatine into your training
Creatine works, but only if it is taken properly:
Recommended dose: 3–5 grams a day.
When to take it: at any time of day, though some studies suggest that after training may work better.
Maintenance: loading phases are not necessary; taking it consistently is enough to saturate the muscle stores.
And one thing that matters: creatine works gradually. Do not expect anything spectacular overnight. The real benefit shows after several weeks of regular use.
Beyond performance: antioxidants and health
Creatine improves performance, but looking after your body goes beyond muscle. Hard exercise also produces oxidative stress, which is why the role of antioxidants in recovery and general health is studied more and more, starting with glutathione. If that interests you, there is more on integrative health and oxidative stress.
