Creatine Monohydrate
More cellular energy for muscle, training and the brain.
- Supports strength and high-intensity performance
- Helps replenish phosphocreatine for rapid cellular energy
- A simple daily performance habit with growing cognitive interest
The story
Creatine has spent decades being treated as a gym product. Maximalist reframes it as a foundational energy molecule: useful when the body and brain need fast energy turnover, and simple enough to use every day.
How it works
Creatine helps replenish phosphocreatine, which supports rapid regeneration of ATP during high-energy-demand activity. Human research is strongest for muscle performance; cognitive studies suggest possible memory benefits, especially in some older or stressed populations.
What is actually in it
How to take it
Mix one scoop into water, coffee or a shake once daily. Timing is less important than consistency. Hydrate normally.
A 2023 systematic review/meta-analysis of randomized trials reported improvement in memory measures, with larger effects in older adults; a 2024 meta-analysis also reported benefits in memory and some attention/processing-speed outcomes, while not all cognitive domains improved.

Structure/function statements describe the role of a nutrient or botanical in the body and are supported at the ingredient level; they are not claims that any product treats a disease. Evidence badges describe published research on the named ingredient, not on the finished formulation. Topical products are cosmetics; cosmetic claims describe appearance only. Individual results vary.
