ENDURANCE SPORTS
Regeneration Plus
Endurance sports mean more than just base training. Changes of pace, hill sprints, final sprints – even marathon runners and triathletes need explosive power for crucial moments. Creapure® for endurance sports doesn't optimize sustained performance itself, but rather anaerobic peaks and your recovery between intense sessions.
Anaerobic power
Why it works: Creatine monohydrate does not improve aerobic performance over 20 minutes, but it shows other important benefits: A study with marathon runners showed 19% lower CK markers after a 30km run⁸. Creatine for marathon training can act as an antioxidant and buffer pH. Vegetarian and vegan endurance athletes benefit particularly, as they do not obtain creatine from meat and fish – their stores are often only 60–80% full.
"Train with harder intervals and still be fit the next day. That's exactly why I take creatine."
What studies show
- Muscle Protection 19% less muscle damage markers⁸ – CK levels significantly lower after a 30km run with creatine supplementation. Inflammatory Markers 34% less TNF-α after intense exercise⁸ – documented in endurance runners. Interval Power Can improve power during high-intensity intervals.

Your questions –
our answers
Does creatine make you heavier?
Initially, approximately 0.5-1.0 L of fluid retention occurs due to intramuscular water storage.¹⁰ No documented performance disadvantage with regular training.
Does creatine help during a marathon?
It primarily supports training and recovery – both of which make you faster in the long run.
Creatine during the tapering phase?
Yes, take it continuously. Creapure® supports regeneration before competition.
