Frequently Asked Questions about Petra Creatine

What is creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in your muscles and brain. It helps your body regenerate ATP—your cells' primary energy source—especially during intense physical activity. Most of your body’s creatine is stored in skeletal muscle.

What does creatine do?

Creatine can:

  • Increase strength by 5–15%

  • Add 1–2 kg of lean muscle in 4–12 weeks

  • Improve recovery and reduce fatigue

  • Support brain function and focus

  • Help preserve muscle mass in aging adults

How does creatine work in the body?

Creatine helps quickly restore ATP (energy) during high-intensity exercise. It donates a phosphate group to ADP, regenerating ATP and allowing your muscles and brain to function better under stress. It also supports brain health by boosting mitochondrial function and energy recycling.

How should I take Petra Creatine?

Is there scientific research behind creatine?

Yes—over 1,300 studies and 300+ clinical trials have been conducted on creatine. Research supports its benefits in athletic performance, cognitive function, aging, and even depression. It is also endorsed by the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN).

Can creatine help with brain function?

Yes. Creatine supports energy production in brain cells and has been shown to improve cognitive performance, especially in situations of mental fatigue or sleep deprivation.
