What Is Creatine? The Gym Bro Supplement Is Suddenly Everywhere
It's the most studied supplement in sports medicine, but it's not just for athletes anymore. Courtesy of Amazon; Getty Images; Thorne All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Learn more. First, it was mushrooms in your coffee. Then protein in your soda. The latest wellness staple sneaking into your pantry is creatine. In the days of yore, creatine supplements were a muscle-bro staple, relegated to the lockers of collegiate linebackers and bodybuilders. Lately, it has muscled its way into Pilates studios, gym girlies' TikToks, and longevity wellness retreats. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. 'Creatine has been gaining popularity among women across different age groups,' says Gretchen Zimmermann, a registered dietitian. 'We do see women who are lifting heavier, and there used to be this thing that was circulating a decade or two ago, where women thought that if they lifted heavy, they would get bulked up. Now we know that's not true, and naturally there's some interest in creatine for that reason.' But what is creatine? Here's everything you need to know. Creatine is a compound your body produces in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, according to Federica Amati, a medical scientist and registered public health nutritionist. Most of it ends up in your skeletal muscles, where it's stored as phosphocreatine and used to regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that powers muscle contractions, nerve signals, and protein synthesis for tissue repair. The rest—less than 5 percent—is found in brain tissue and the testes. You make about a gram of creatine a day from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. You also get more from animal-based foods like red meat, fish, and poultry. For most healthy people, that's enough. So, creatine supplements aren't essential for general health, but they can boost performance and recovery under the right conditions. Photo by Steve Mitchell/EMPICS via Getty Images ATP is your cells' main energy source. High-intensity exercise drains it fast, breaking ATP down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Creatine phosphate donates a phosphate group to ADP, recycling it back into ATP almost immediately. The more phosphocreatine stored in your muscles, the faster you can regenerate ATP and the more power you can produce in short bursts. Creatine is most useful for activities that demand short, intense effort: sprinting, weightlifting, and high-intensity interval training, to name a few. It's far less relevant for endurance sports like marathons. Some evidence suggests creatine also increases muscle glycogen storage, which could help with recovery and energy replenishment between sessions. Creatine doesn't directly build muscle, but paired with resistance training and adequate nutrition, it can help preserve muscle strength and lean body mass. It's particularly important if you're recovering from an injury, or as you age, when sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) becomes a risk, as it activates specialized stem cells known as satellite cells. Zimmerman points out that women, especially in perimenopause and menopause, may see health benefits. 'As women get older—starting in our forties—we lose body mass 1 to 2 percent a year, and that can affect bone health later on in life,' says Zimmermann. 'Creatine [supplements] support keeping and building lean muscle mass.' Zimmermann adds, 'Women tend to have lower muscle mass than men, just naturally, so I think women may actually respond better to supplementation, because they're at baseline.' While the effects of creatine supplementation on athletic performance are well-documented, its effects on mental performance are still emerging. Early findings are promising. Studies suggest it may reduce mental fatigue, especially during high-stress situations, such as sleep deprivation or exhaustive exercise. It may also improve certain aspects of memory, particularly in groups with lower baseline creatine levels, such as vegetarians and older adults. Some preliminary research even suggests it could help with symptoms of depression by supporting brain energy and boosting the production of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. That's particularly relevant for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause, says Zimmerman. 'Estrogen shifts affect brain health, our mood, brain fog, and being able to think clearly.' Nowadays, step into any GNC and you'll find several forms of creatine: creatine hydrochloride, magnesium creatine chelate, creatine citrate, creatine nitrate, creatine ethyl ester, and buffered creatine. But creatine monohydrate is the most studied, the most effective, and usually the cheapest, according to the International Society of Sports Nutrition. No other form has shown any additional benefits, confirms Amati. Creatine monohydrate is typically sold as a flavorless, white powder that you can mix into water or a shake. The standard dose is three to five grams per day, says Amati. Some athletes may 'load' with higher doses, but studies show this offers no long-term benefits and can put unnecessary stress on the kidneys, says Amati. For most healthy adults, creatine is a safe and well-tolerated supplement for months or even years of use. Short-term and long-term clinical trials have found no significant health risks. The main side effects are minor: weight gain from temporary water retention in the first week of supplementation, bloating, and mild gastric discomfort, usually from oversize doses.

I test Garmin watches for a living and this accessory improves every single one
I've been wearing and reviewing the best Garmin watches for many years and for most of that time I used them with a silicone band, usually the one they came with. This isn't a terrible thing to do — Garmin's silicone straps are more comfortable than most and are easier to clean and dry faster than fabric straps, so can be great for swimmers in particular. However, in the time I've been testing sports watches, nylon bands have become more and more popular, and once I started using one myself I've rarely wanted to go back to a silicone band. Even if you're not sure you'll prefer it, I'd recommend that any Garmin user picks up a nylon band for their watch just in case. You don't have to spend much to get one either. Garmin's own UltraFit nylon bands are expensive at $39, but you can find third-party bands very easily that cost a fraction of that price on Amazon and elsewhere —- the band I use most often is one I found on eBay, just because it's the exact shade of blue I wanted. This is the official option for those who want to get a nylon band from Garmin. The UltraFit band comes in four colors and there are three widths — 20mm, 22mm and 26mm — so make sure you get the right one for your Garmin watch. Garmin does now ship some watches with a nylon band as standard, like the Garmin Enduro 3 and Garmin Venu X1, and I hope this becomes the norm going forward. Or, ideally you get a silicone and nylon band in the box — given the high price of the best sports watches, this would be a nice touch from any brand. The main reason to use a nylon band is comfort. They don't rub the skin or irritate it in any of the ways silicone bands can, and adjusting them is easy since you can pull them exactly as tight as you want, rather than relying on a standard band having a hole in the right place for you. This is a major plus point for those who find they get rashes from silicone bands, and even though I don't suffer from that myself, I do get heat rashes in the summer and find nylon bands more comfortable to wear than silicone bands when I do. Another advantage of the secure fit is that I tend to find I get slightly more consistent heart rate monitoring from watches when using a nylon strap. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I can tighten the optical sensor snugly against my wrist, and the watch doesn't move around at all during runs in particular. With silicone bands it's sometimes trickier to get the right snugness of fit to get a reliable heart rate reading. While I still default to using a chest strap heart rate monitor when accuracy is essential, nylon bands can help improve the often unreliable heart rate tracking you get from sports watches. One common fear people share when I recommend nylon bands is that they'll feel slimy and unpleasant to wear after showering or swimming with the watch, whereas you can quickly dry off a silicone band. Nylon bands do dry more slowly than silicone bands, but I wash them after a workout then rub them with a towel, and by the time I'm out of the shower myself I don't find them any worse to wear than a silicone band. You can (and probably should) also throw them in with your washing occasionally to get a deep clean, if you're worried about them retaining germs more than a silicone band. To avoid the wet band problem entirely, you can also pick up a set of two and swap between them after a shower, so they can dry entirely between uses. These nylon bands are easy to use with Garmin watches and you get two different colors included for the price. I've used Albanen bands myself for many years and they are almost as nice as the official Garmin UltraFit band, and you get two for half the price of one UltraFit strap. I've accumulated a lot of bands now to suit different watch styles and sizes — like running shoes, you can never have too many.
