Creatine Monohydrate 5g

LIVS Creatine Monohydrate 5 g — Micronized, Unflavored, 60 Servings

Creatine monohydrate is the most thoroughly researched sports supplement there is. Hundreds of published studies, decades of use, and a consistent finding: it supports strength, power output and recovery in people who train.

LIVS Creatine Monohydrate is exactly that and nothing else — 5 g of pure micronized creatine monohydrate per scoop, unflavored, 300 g (10.58 oz) per tub for 60 full servings. No sugar, no fillers, no proprietary blend.

How it works

Your muscles store creatine as phosphocreatine, and they use it to regenerate ATP — the molecule your cells spend for energy. ATP is what powers a maximal effort, and you run out of it within seconds.

Supplementing raises the phosphocreatine your muscles hold in reserve, so you can regenerate ATP faster between efforts. In practice that shows up as one more rep, a little more weight, a faster second sprint. Small margins repeated over months are what add up.

Benefits

• Supports strength and power:Supports high-intensity training and explosive movement.
• Supports recovery between sessions:Supports recovery from repeated hard efforts.
• Supports lean muscle:Supports lean mass gains alongside resistance training — the training does the work; creatine supports it.
• Studied for cognitive support:Your brain uses ATP too, and creatine's role in brain energy metabolism is an active and interesting area of research. We would call it promising rather than settled.
• Micronized for mixing:Finer particles dissolve more readily than standard monohydrate — less grit at the bottom of the glass.
• Nothing added:No soy, dairy, gluten, tree nuts, sugar or artificial fillers. Unflavored, so it disappears into whatever you mix it with.

Three things worth knowing before your first scoop

• Drink more water.Creatine draws water into your muscle cells — that is part of how it works, not a side effect to avoid. But it does mean your fluid needs go up. Make a point of drinking more, especially in the first couple of weeks.
• Expect a small weight increase, and don't panic.Most people gain one to two kilos in the first fortnight. That is intracellular water, not fat. It is the mechanism working.
• You do not need to load, and you do not need to cycle.Loading (about 20 g a day for five days) saturates your muscles faster. Taking a steady 5 g daily gets you to the same place in three to four weeks with less stomach upset. Either is fine. Cycling off has no established benefit.

Powder or gummies?

We make both. The powder is the one to choose if you want the studied dose: 5 g per serving, stated on the tub, at the amount the research is built on.

The gummies are the more convenient format for a day when a shaker is not practical. If your goal is to hit 5 g a day reliably, the powder is the straightforward way to do it.

Supplement facts and how to take it

• Serving size:1 scoop (5 g)
• Servings per container:60 (300 g / 10.58 oz)
• Creatine monohydrate (micronized):5 g per serving

Directions:Mix 1 scoop into water, juice or your usual training drink, once daily. Take it before or after training, or at any time on rest days — total daily intake is what matters, not timing. Take it every day, including days you do not train; muscle saturation is built by consistency.

Warnings:Do not exceed the recommended serving. Keep out of reach of children. Not intended for anyone under 18. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition — particularly any kidney condition. Increase your water intake while taking creatine.

Who this is for

• Anyone doing resistance training who wants the one supplement with the deepest evidence base behind it.
• Athletes in sports built on repeated short, maximal efforts.
• People eating plant-based — dietary creatine comes mainly from meat and fish, so intake is typically lower.
• Anyone who wants to know exactly what is in the tub and how much.
