BODY BALANCE NUTRITION – Creatine Monohydrate 500gr – Unflavored
Creatine monohydrate is the monohydrate form of creatine similar to or identical to endogenous creatine produced in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Creatine, in the phosphate form, helps provide energy to muscle cells for contraction. After intense exercise, when ATP stores are depleted, creatine phosphate donates phosphate groups to the rapid synthesis of ATP. Supplementing with creatine may improve muscle breakdown associated with cancer and other chronic diseases.
It is known that the use of creatine in combination with a resistance exercise program can increase lean body mass.
Creatine monohydrate and muscle growth
Creatine monohydrate combined with resistance training gives you the strongest stimulus for increasing lean body mass. Any other complementary strategies to enhance these effects can enhance the overall effectiveness of strength training interventions.
How does creatine monohydrate work:
The benefits of creatine may not be apparent in the short term. When it’s time to workout, if your muscles are saturated with creatine, they will use the already stored creatine to provide energy to the body. Creatine not only provides energy to the body but also improves overall performance, increases muscle mass and strength.
The importance of satellite cells:
In muscle, small damages are constantly caused that can be repaired without causing cell death, inflammatory responses, or histological changes.
In contrast, there are satellite cells, which are activated in severe muscle injuries such as extensive physical activity, resistance exercises or genetic dysfunctions and are involved in the process of muscle formation and regeneration. Thus, the contribution of satellite cells to muscle regeneration is vital.
There are other cells, non-satellite, that contribute to muscle regeneration, but the contribution of these cells compared to satellite cells is not as great.
Creatine monohydrate and satellite cells:
- In individuals who followed a strength training program and took creatine supplements, it was found that satellite cells and ultimately the number of muscle fibers increased.
- After supplementation with creatine and CLA, the number of satellite cells increased in older adults undergoing resistance exercise training
- In response to strength training, creatine supplementation ultimately appeared to increase the relative number of satellite cells.
How does creatine monohydrate work?
Creatine monohydrate supplements can significantly contribute to muscle recovery after periods of intense exercise. A few days after exercise, muscle power production decreases significantly, while at the same time muscle pain, swelling and inflammatory conditions in the body increase. Taking creatine seems to have several benefits in terms of the levels of creatine itself in the muscles, in reducing inflammation
Additionally, increased muscle creatine has several beneficial effects on the adaptive response to resistance exercise. It has an important effect on athletic performance and is considered one of the essential fuels during intense exercise.
What are the benefits of creatine monohydrate:
- Increases muscle creatine levels
- Restoration of normal creatine content
- Increases work capacity
- Promotes muscle growth
- It is true that creatine cannot enter cells on its own, but needs the help of a transporter. The same is true in the heart, where the creatine transporter is present in the plasma membrane of myocytes and is necessary for the entry of creatine into myocardial cells.
Creatine monohydrate for the heart:
According to one study, supplemental creatine monohydrate intake showed positive effects on cardiac function. In people with heart failure, a decrease in the creatine content of myocytes is observed, therefore creatine supplementation may be necessary as it improves muscle function in these patients.
Creatine monohydrate increases performance and muscle creatine:
For creatine to be effective, its levels in skeletal muscle must be similarly elevated. Creatine may be the most effective supplement without side effects for improving anaerobic capacity and lean body mass, for improving overall training quality.
Increase Strength & Performance Creatine supplementation appears to be the most effective legal dietary supplement currently available in terms of improving anaerobic capacity and lean body mass (LBM). Research on the ergogenic effects of creatine supplementation is extensive with hundreds of published studies examining these two outcomes. Approximately 70% of the research has reported a significant (P < .05 for the statistics folks out there) increase in exercise capacity, while none have reported an ergolytic effect. In both the short and long term, creatine supplementation appears to improve the overall quality of training, leading to 5 to 15% greater gains in strength and performance. 5, 6 Furthermore, almost all studies show that “proper” CM supplements increase body mass by approximately 1 to 2 kg in the first week of loading. In the International Society of Sports Nutrition’s position on creatine, the authors state, “The vast body of research conducted with positive results from CM supplementation has led us to conclude that it is the most effective nutritional supplement currently available for increasing high-intensity exercise capacity by building lean mass.”5 I guess the case is closed on that front.
We conclude that when combined with resistance exercise, consumption of a high-quality multi-ingredient nutritional supplement increased body muscle mass.
How often should you take creatine monohydrate for maximum results?
There is actually a plan for taking creatine for maximum efficiency. There are two recommended methods for taking creatine, either the loading phase or the maintenance phase. A typical loading phase consists of 20g of creatine per day, divided into 2-5 equal doses for 7 days, while the maintenance phase lasts from 21 days (3-5g per day). Many studies confirm that the loading phase in between the maintenance phase is more effective in improving strength and muscle mass as well as increasing strength.
The loading phase lasts a maximum of 21 days, because the amount of creatine administered adds a significant workload to your kidneys.
A loading phase should be followed by, at most, 21 days of creatine use before taking an extended break. This is because 20 grams of creatine places a very significant workload on your kidneys, so we need to take a break! Conversely, a dose of 3-5g per day still produces significant increases in endurance and explosive power, but can be used for prolonged (no rest) workouts.
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most well-known supplements for both exercisers and athletes. It is a dietary supplement that is recommended if you want to increase your physical performance, muscle growth and lean muscle mass. It is suitable for those of you who do intense training and need faster muscle recovery and recovery. For best results, a combination of the “loading phase” and maintenance is recommended.
- People who want the benefits of isolate (less lactose/fat) but find pure isolate too expensive or less palatable.
- Those looking for a good balance between performance and value.

BODY BALANCE NUTRITION – EAA 500gr
EAA (Essential Amino Acid) supplements primarily boost muscle growth, speed up recovery, and prevent muscle breakdown by fueling protein synthesis, making them great for fitness goals like building lean mass or cutting fat, while also supporting mood, immune health, and endurance by aiding neurotransmitter production and reducing fatigue. They’re beneficial during workouts and calorie deficits, helping preserve muscle while promoting fat loss, with effects becoming noticeable with consistent use alongside diet and exercise.Key Benefits:- Muscle Growth & Repair: EAAs stimulate Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) for building and repairing muscle tissue, with leucine being a key activator.
- Muscle Preservation: Helps prevent muscle loss (catabolism) during calorie deficits or intense training, ensuring your body burns fat for fuel instead.
- Faster Recovery: Reduces post-workout soreness and muscle damage, allowing for more consistent training.
- Enhanced Endurance: Can decrease fatigue during prolonged workouts, improving stamina.
- Supports Overall Health: Aids in immune function (antibodies), hormone regulation (growth hormone), and mood/focus (serotonin, dopamine).
Who Benefits Most:- Athletes & Fitness Enthusiasts: For muscle building, cutting, and performance.
- Older Adults: Can improve the less efficient protein assimilation seen with aging.
- Those in Caloric Deficits: Helps maintain muscle mass while losing fat.
How They Work:- EAAs provide the foundational building blocks your body needs, acting faster and more effectively than whole proteins to kickstart muscle repair and growth pathways.
- They are easily absorbed, delivering concentrated nutrients quickly around workouts.
Usage:
consume a 12 g serving of the product 1 time per day. RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE: 12 g. Do not exceed a maximum of 1 serving (12 g) of the product to be consumed daily.

In people with heart failure, a decrease in the creatine content of myocytes is observed, therefore creatine supplementation may be necessary as it improves muscle function in these patients.
Creatine monohydrate increases performance and muscle creatine:
For creatine to be effective, its levels in skeletal muscle must be similarly elevated. Creatine may be the most effective supplement without side effects for improving anaerobic capacity and lean body mass, for improving overall training quality.
Increase Strength & Performance Creatine supplementation appears to be the most effective legal dietary supplement currently available in terms of improving anaerobic capacity and lean body mass (LBM). Research on the ergogenic effects of creatine supplementation is extensive with hundreds of published studies examining these two outcomes. Approximately 70% of the research has reported a significant (P < .05 for the statistics folks out there) increase in exercise capacity, while none have reported an ergolytic effect. In both the short and long term, creatine supplementation appears to improve the overall quality of training, leading to 5 to 15% greater gains in strength and performance. 5, 6 Furthermore, almost all studies show that “proper” CM supplements increase body mass by approximately 1 to 2 kg in the first week of loading. In the International Society of Sports Nutrition’s position on creatine, the authors state, “The vast body of research conducted with positive results from CM supplementation has led us to conclude that it is the most effective nutritional supplement currently available for increasing high-intensity exercise capacity by building lean mass.”5 I guess the case is closed on that front.
We conclude that when combined with resistance exercise, consumption of a high-quality multi-ingredient nutritional supplement increased body muscle mass.
How often should you take creatine monohydrate for maximum results?
There is actually a plan for taking creatine for maximum efficiency. There are two recommended methods for taking creatine, either the loading phase or the maintenance phase. A typical loading phase consists of 20g of creatine per day, divided into 2-5 equal doses for 7 days, while the maintenance phase lasts from 21 days (3-5g per day). Many studies confirm that the loading phase in between the maintenance phase is more effective in improving strength and muscle mass as well as increasing strength.
The loading phase lasts a maximum of 21 days, because the amount of creatine administered adds a significant workload to your kidneys.
A loading phase should be followed by, at most, 21 days of creatine use before taking an extended break. This is because 20 grams of creatine places a very significant workload on your kidneys, so we need to take a break! Conversely, a dose of 3-5g per day still produces significant increases in endurance and explosive power, but can be used for prolonged (no rest) workouts.
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most well-known supplements for both exercisers and athletes. It is a dietary supplement that is recommended if you want to increase your physical performance, muscle growth and lean muscle mass. It is suitable for those of you who do intense training and need faster muscle recovery and recovery. For best results, a combination of the “loading phase” and maintenance is recommended.
