Creatine 101: The Complete Guide
Creatine has long been a favourite in the gym and sports world — and for good reason. Naturally found in the body and in foods like meat and fish, it plays a key role in short bursts of high-intensity activity. Think lifting, sprinting, or pushing through that final set.
The EU Register of Nutrition supports this with an authorised health claim:
“Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.” (1)
But creatine’s moment isn’t just in the gym. It’s now being explored for broader wellness benefits. While research is still emerging, it’s clear that creatine isn’t just for gym-goers anymore. A simple, well-researched addition to your daily routine? worth considering.
What to look out for
Ingredients
When buying creatine, always check the ingredients list — it should be short. Look for pure creatine monohydrate with no fillers or unnecessary extras. When it comes to creatine, simpler is better.
Our creatine is micronised to 200 mesh, making it ultra-fine for better mixability and a smooth finish — no gritty texture, just clean, easy-to-mix powder.
Testing
High-quality creatine should be tested for purity and heavy metals. This ensures the product is clean, safe, and free from contaminants — especially important if you’re using it daily.
At Peak Supps, we’ve sent our creatine for independent third-party testing. Results are now available for:
- Purity
- Heavy metals
- Contaminants and impurities


Don’t Overpay for Creatine
Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements out there — but that doesn’t mean it should come with a premium price tag! Some brands increase prices with flashy packaging or fancy marketing.
Look for creatine monohydrate, compare price per 100g, and avoid products with unnecessary extras.
Creatine: more than a performance supplement?
Creatine is widely known for its role in physical performance, but it’s also gaining attention in broader wellness conversations. As interest grows, more people are choosing to include creatine in their daily routines — not just for the gym, but as part of a balanced lifestyle.
