Creatine Powder

Life Extension Creatine Powder provides 100% creatine monohydrate in pure powder form, without additives.

Creatine is one of the most studied nutrients in sports and performance research. The body produces creatine from the amino acids glycine and arginine and stores it primarily in muscles (and to a lesser extent in the brain), where it is involved in energy production through ATP.

A daily intake of 3 grams of creatine increases physical performance during successive short, intense bursts of exercise (an EFSA-authorized health claim within the EU). Therefore, creatine is widely used in strength training, sprinting, and team sports.

In addition to sports applications, interest is also growing in longevity and healthy aging routines, where maintaining muscle strength and physical capacity are central.

Creatine in women

Creatine is increasingly being discussed within women's performance and longevity.

Including nutritional scientistStacy Simssuggests that women, on average, have lower creatine stores than men, partly due to differences in muscle mass and hormonal factors. Therefore, creatine may also be relevant for women in the context of training and lifestyle—for example, during periods of increased physical exertion or around peri- and postmenopause.

The official health claim remains focused on physical performance in short-term, intense exercise (≥3 g per day).

Creatine in men

For men, creatine has been a staple in strength training and muscle building for decades.

In addition, there is growing interest in the role of creatine in cognitive and longevity research within science. Researchers such asRhonda Patrickdiscuss the broader applications of creatine within performance and mental stress. These applications are being investigated, but are not covered by approved health claims within the EU.

• 5 g creatine monohydrate per dose
• Increases physical performance during short, intensive efforts*
• Most researched creatine form worldwide
• Widely used in strength and performance protocols
• Pure, unsweetened and without additives

*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.

Creatine & Longevity

Muscle strength is one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging. Maintaining muscle mass and physical capacity is therefore becoming increasingly important in longevity programs.

Creatine is one of the most studied substances in performance research and is increasingly being integrated into protocols aimed at maintaining strength, recovery, and vitality in later life. It is always used in combination with training and lifestyle.

We chose Creatine Powder because creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements for strength, performance, and recovery. It helps your body release energy more quickly during short, intense bursts of exercise. This makes it popular with athletes, but also interesting for anyone who wants to get stronger and maintain muscle mass as they age.

Creatine is also a foundation supplement: simple, easy to combine, and especially effective when used consistently. Unlike many pre-workouts, you don't need stimulants to see results. It's all about building up your daily intake.

Creatine isn't a hype ingredient—it's one of the most well-substantiated supplements in sports and performance research. The EFSA has recognized that creatine increases physical performance during successive short-term, intense bouts of exercise. This makes it one of the few sports ingredients with an officially approved claim in Europe.

Life Extension is known for its scientific approach and strict quality control. All raw materials and finished products are extensively tested for purity, microbiology, heavy metals, and active ingredients. Production takes place under GMP standards.

Nowadays, creatine is used not only by bodybuilders, but also by women, especially those over 40, athletes, and people who want to maintain their strength and muscle function as part of a long-term vitality strategy.

Mix 1 scoop (5 g) with 240 ml of water or a beverage of your choice daily.

For athletes, creatine can be taken both before and after strength training. Many people choose to take it around their workout as a regular part of their exercise or recovery routine.

On rest days, take creatine at a fixed time of the day.

Creatine works by saturating the muscles. Therefore, consistent daily use is more important than precise timing.
