If you were allowed one supplement and had to choose it on evidence alone, creatine monohydrate would be the answer. Hundreds of randomized trials, dozens of meta-analyses, a mechanism understood down to the enzyme, and a safety record spanning three decades of continuous study.
Five grams per serving — the clinically standard dose — with the electrolytes most brands leave out. Creatine draws water into muscle cells. Sodium, potassium and magnesium are what let that shift happen without cramping. Blue raspberry, lightly sweetened with stevia, no sugar.

Every formulation carries a certificate of analysis, published in full on our certificates page. Coverage is matched to the product: microbiological profiles on nearly every formulation, heavy-metal limits for arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead on ingestibles — with measured ICP-MS results where quantified — identity by FT-IR where run, physicochemical verification on every topical, and measured potency where an active assay is performed. Each certificate states its own specifications and results.

Thirty-day money-back guarantee, opened or unopened. If a formulation is not working for you, contact concierge@omniviawellness.com — one opened container per formulation is refunded without sending anything back, and unopened products are refunded in full on return.
Ensure adequate fluid intake throughout use.
If you have kidney disease or impaired renal function, consult your physician before use. Creatine raises serum creatinine — a marker used to estimate kidney function — which can complicate interpretation of a routine blood panel. Tell your physician you are taking it before any renal function test.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. Not intended for persons under eighteen. Pregnant or nursing mothers and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician before use.
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

The Evidence
What the research measured.
There is no meaningful controversy about whether creatine works. This is the most thoroughly evidenced supplement in existence, and the only real questions are dose and what you put beside it.
More lean mass1
What this measured
Weighted mean difference in fat-free mass when creatine is combined with resistance training, pooled across 61 randomized trials (1.39 kg). Creatine without training does not produce this result.
Electrolytes alongside
What this measured
Sodium, potassium and magnesium — because creatine shifts water into cells and that shift needs support.
Mechanism
How it works, at the level that matters.
Skeletal muscle stores creatine as phosphocreatine, the immediate reserve for regenerating ATP during high-intensity effort. When ATP is hydrolysed to ADP, phosphocreatine donates its phosphate and restores ATP within milliseconds — far faster than glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation can respond.
Dietary intake and endogenous synthesis leave most people at roughly 60 to 80% of saturation. Daily supplementation fills the remainder over three to four weeks, extending the duration of maximal effort before the system depletes. In practice that means an extra repetition or two per set — which, compounded across months, is the mechanism behind the lean mass findings.
The electrolytes are there for a reason that is usually skipped. Creatine increases intracellular water volume, and doing that without adequate sodium, potassium and magnesium is the most common route to cramping, which people then blame on the creatine. Magnesium is also the required cofactor for ATP utilisation — ATP is biologically active as a magnesium complex.

The Formulation Story
Why we made
this one.
Creatine is the least glamorous product in this collection and the one with the most evidence behind it by an enormous margin. There is something instructive in that.
It is also, in plain form, close to a commodity — which is why so many brands bolt on exotic derivatives and proprietary complexes to justify a price. We took the other view: five grams of monohydrate, the electrolytes that should accompany it, a clean lemon flavor, and nothing else.
Monohydrate specifically, because hydrochloride, ethyl ester and buffered forms are marketed on absorption claims that have never translated into superior outcomes in head-to-head trials — and monohydrate is both cheaper and the form used in essentially the entire clinical literature. Paying more for less evidence is a strange trade.

Formulated for
Anyone doing resistance training or high-intensity exercise, at any age. Particularly valuable for adults over fifty, where the lean-mass and functional benefits are most pronounced, and for postmenopausal women, where the strength and bone-density evidence is strong.

The Protocol
How to use it, and what to expect.
Consistency is the variable that decides outcomes. Build the habit first; the biology follows on its own schedule.
1
One scoop daily, any time
Ten grams in 6–8 oz of water or a beverage of your choice. Timing is irrelevant — creatine works through saturation, not acute availability.
2
No loading phase
A loading protocol saturates stores a fortnight faster and produces considerably more gastrointestinal discomfort. Daily use reaches the same endpoint with none of it.
3
Every day, including rest days
Saturation is maintained by consistency, not by training. Skipping rest days lets stores drift back down.
Week 1
Intracellular water rises
Scale weight typically increases one to two kilograms. This is water inside muscle cells, not fat — it is the mechanism working.
Week 3–4
Saturation reached
Muscle phosphocreatine stores approach full. Performance effects on repeated maximal effort become apparent here.
Week 8–12
Lean mass accrues
Lean mass separates from training alone. Creatine does not build muscle; it enables the training that does.
Ongoing
Indefinite use
No cycling required. Thirty years of continuous study with no evidence of harm from sustained use in healthy adults.
Questions
Before you begin.
No — this is the most persistent myth in the category and it reflects a misunderstanding of where the water goes. Creatine draws water into muscle cells, which is intracellular. Subcutaneous bloating is water outside cells, under the skin. The scale rises one to two kilograms in the first fortnight because muscle is holding more water, which is the mechanism functioning as intended.
In healthy individuals the evidence is about as reassuring as evidence gets — three decades of study including multi-year trials, with no signal of renal harm. The concern arose because creatine raises serum creatinine, a marker used to estimate kidney function. It rises because you are consuming creatine, not because the kidney is struggling. Tell your physician you take it before any renal function test.
Monohydrate. Hydrochloride, ethyl ester and buffered creatine are marketed on absorption claims that have not translated into superior outcomes in head-to-head trials — and monohydrate is both cheaper and the form used in essentially the entire clinical literature.
Yes. The meta-analysis in postmenopausal women found leg-press one-repetition maximum improved by 7.5 kg with creatine, alongside lean mass and bone density outcomes. The idea that creatine is a male supplement is a marketing artefact, not a physiological one.
Because creatine increases intracellular water volume, and doing that without adequate sodium, potassium and magnesium is a common route to cramping — which people then blame on the creatine. The electrolytes are not a proprietary edge; they are the obvious accompaniment most brands leave out because water is cheaper than minerals.
