PURE Performance + Race Ready Creatine

Creatine is an organic compound, naturally found in the bodies cells. It is primarily stored in muscle tissue where it helps produce energy for muscle contraction. Creatine is externally sourced in small amounts from foods such as meat and fish.

Creatine is naturally present in relatively small amounts in foods such as seafood and red meat. PURE Performance + Race Ready Creatine is made from Creapure® which is one of the purist forms of creatine monohydrate available. It is vegan friendly, gluten free and does not contain energy.

Creatine is one of the most researched performance supplements available. Benefits can include:

• Helps increase strength and power production
• Helps improve performance during repeated high-intensity efforts
• Supports training capacity, output and long-term adaptation
• Supports lean muscle mass development
• Aids cognitive function

PURE Performance + Race Ready Creatine uses Creapure® creatine monohydrate, widely regarded as the gold standard in creatine supplementation.

Creapure® is manufactured in Germany under strict quality standards and is known for its exceptional purity and consistency.

PURE Performance + Race Ready Creatine does not contain any flavours, fillers, or unnecessary additives. This makes it a trusted choice for athletes who want simple, high-quality creatine. Additionally it is HASTA tested for WADA banned substances.

HASTA (Human and Supplement Testing Australia) is an independent organisation that tests sports supplements for banned substances.

A HASTA Certified product means that each batch has been tested for more than 200 substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This provides extra reassurance that the product is safe to use in training and competition.

Creatine can benefit a wide range of individuals including:

• Endurance athletes such as runners, cyclists, and triathletes
• Strength and power athletes
• Team sport players
• Anyone looking to improve training quality and power output
• Sports requiring cognitive support

There are two common dosage techniques for creatine.

Optional loading phase

• Take 20 g per day for 5 days, split into four 5 g doses throughout the day
• After this, take 5 g daily as a maintenance dose

Gradual approach

• Take 5 g once daily
• Muscle creatine stores will fully saturate within about 3–4 weeks

Both methods reach the same end result.

No. A loading phase is optional.
Taking 5 g daily will still increase muscle creatine stores over time. The loading phase simply allows those stores to increase more quickly.

Creatine does not typically cause bloating when taken at the recommended daily dose. It may cause a small increase in body weight due to increased water stored inside muscle cells. This is a normal effect of increased muscle creatine storage and is often associated with improved training performance.

Some people may experience mild stomach discomfort if large amounts are taken at once, particularly during a loading phase. Splitting the dose into smaller servings throughout the day can help minimise this.

Creatine can be taken at any time of day such as with hydration, meals or recovery drink. Daily consistency is more important than exact timing.

Yes. Creatine works by increasing and maintaining creatine levels in your muscles, so it should be taken daily, including on rest days. A typical maintenance dose is 5 g per day.

Yes. Creatine mixes easily with most sports nutrition products including into electrolytes and protein or recovery shakes. Because PURE Performance +Race Ready Creatine contains no flavour or additives, it can be added to almost any food or drink.

No. Creatine does not need to be cycled. Many individuals take creatine consistently throughout the year to maintain elevated muscle creatine levels.

Emerging research suggests creatine may also support aspects of brain function such as enhanced focus and concentration, treatment of sleep deprivation, aiding memory and reducing mental fatigue.
