Pure creatine monohydrate at the researched daily dose of 5g per serving. Micronised for easy mixing. No fillers, no flavouring, no extras.
Creatine is one of the most-studied supplements in sports science. It is a naturally occurring compound that the body uses to regenerate ATP — the energy currency used by muscle cells during short, high-effort work.
This is unflavoured creatine monohydrate, micronised to mix easily without clumping. One ingredient. One scoop. One dose.
5g (one scoop) per day, mixed into water, juice, or a post-workout shake. Timing does not appear to be especially important — consistency does. Stay well hydrated; creatine draws water into muscle cells.
No loading phase is needed for the standard 5g/day protocol. Levels build over two to four weeks of daily use.
Creatine monohydrate is among the most-studied supplements in the strength and sport literature. It has been studied for its role in supporting strength, power output, and short-effort performance. Outcomes are individual.
Every batch is tested by an independent ISO-accredited laboratory for purity, identity, heavy metals, and microbial load.
Food supplement. Not a medicine. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Keep out of reach of children. Stay well hydrated. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on prescription medication, or under medical care, consult a clinician before use.

Lux Vita Creatine Monohydrate is micronised creatine in its purest form no additives, no fillers, no flavouring. Micronisation reduces particle size to improve mixability and reduce the grittiness common in standard creatine powders. This is a product designed for people who want the most extensively studied performance supplement available, in the form the evidence supports, without unnecessary additions.
A significant number of creatine variants have been marketed with claims of superior absorption, reduced water retention, or better performance outcomes. The evidence does not support these claims. Multiple head-to-head comparison studies have found creatine monohydrate to be equivalent or superior to alternatives including creatine ethyl ester, Kre-Alkalyn, and creatine hydrochloride, while being substantially less expensive. Lux Vita uses monohydrate because the evidence says it is the best option.
Clear dosing instructions
When to take it (morning, evening, with food, etc.)
How it fits into the daily protocol
Take 3–5g daily, mixed into water, juice, or a protein shake. Creatine can be taken at any time of day — the evidence does not strongly support any specific timing for the maintenance phase. Consistent daily use is more important than timing. There is no requirement to cycle creatine — long-term continuous use is safe and effective based on the available evidence.
Creatine draws water into muscle cells. This is part of the mechanism by which it increases muscle volume and contributes to the cell volumisation that supports protein synthesis. It also means that adequate hydration is important during creatine supplementation. Aim for consistent water intake throughout the day — the common advice to drink extra water specifically to 'flush' creatine is not evidence-based, but general good hydration practice applies.
Creatine is taken in the morning as part of the Daily Performance Stack (with Shilajit) or the Full Protocol Stack. Its cognitive benefits make it a useful complement to NAD+ for those building a comprehensive daily protocol. Mix directly with water or add to your morning shake.
What Is Creatine?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound synthesised in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. Approximately 95% of the body's creatine is stored in skeletal muscle, with the remaining 5% distributed between the brain, heart, and other tissues.
Its primary role is in the phosphocreatine energy system the fastest pathway for regenerating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's primary energy currency. During short, high-intensity efforts, the body's ATP stores are depleted within seconds. Phosphocreatine donates a phosphate group to ADP, rapidly regenerating ATP. Supplementing with creatine increases the pool of phosphocreatine available for this process.
The Evidence Base
Creatine monohydrate is the most studied form of creatine and one of the most studied supplements in the history of sports nutrition. Over 500 peer-reviewed studies have examined its effects on performance, body composition, and health. The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand classifies creatine monohydrate as the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement currently available to athletes.
Muscle Strength and Power
Meta-analyses consistently demonstrate that creatine supplementation, combined with resistance training, produces significantly greater gains in muscle strength and lean mass compared to training alone. The effect is most pronounced in high-intensity, short-duration activities (1–3 minute efforts), but benefits to endurance and recovery have also been documented. A Cochrane-style meta-analysis of 22 studies found creatine increased maximum strength by an average of 8% and isotonic endurance by 14% over placebo.
Cognitive Function
The brain accounts for approximately 20% of the body's energy expenditure despite representing only 2% of its weight. Creatine's role in ATP regeneration is therefore relevant well beyond the muscle. Research has demonstrated meaningful cognitive effects of creatine supplementation, particularly in conditions of mental fatigue, sleep deprivation, or in populations with lower baseline creatine levels (including vegetarians and older adults).
A study published in Psychopharmacology found that creatine supplementation significantly improved working memory and intelligence test performance in young adult vegetarians. A further study in older adults (65+) found improvements in measures of cognitive processing speed following creatine supplementation.
Recovery and Cellular Protection
Creatine has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in multiple studies, contributing to faster recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage. It also appears to support glycogen synthesis, contributing to carbohydrate availability during and after exercise.
Bone Health
Emerging evidence suggests creatine may support bone mineral density, particularly when combined with resistance training. A randomised controlled trial in postmenopausal women found that creatine plus resistance training produced significantly greater gains in bone mineral density compared to training alone. This remains an area of active research.
Forms of Creatine
Numerous forms of creatine have been marketed as superior to monohydrate including creatine ethyl ester, buffered creatine (Kre-Alkalyn), and creatine hydrochloride. The evidence does not support the superiority of any of these forms over creatine monohydrate for outcomes of strength, performance, or bioavailability. Monohydrate remains the gold standard. Lux Vita uses creatine monohydrate because the evidence says it works.
Loading vs Maintenance
A loading protocol (20g per day for 5–7 days, divided into 4 doses) saturates muscle creatine stores rapidly. A maintenance dose (3–5g per day) achieves the same saturation over approximately 4 weeks and is the approach recommended for most people. Loading accelerates the onset of benefits but is not required for the same endpoint.
Daily Performance Stack
Creatine is taken in the morning as part of the Daily Performance Stack (with Shilajit) or the Full Protocol Stack. Its cognitive benefits make it a useful complement to NAD+ for those building a comprehensive daily protocol. Mix directly with water or add to your morning shake.
