Creatine is a supplement we have heard bounced around for some time now. While some dismissed it as another unnecessary fad, others swear by it to use alongside a healthy fitness regime. Though it's not to be confused with protein powder, and the like.
The supplement, which typically takes powder form though it is available as a gummy from select brands, has become a daily essential for people from all walks of life. It seems many wellness buffs are intrigued by the supplement, as searches for creatine monohydrate specifically have skyrocketed by 23% in the last quarter, and 970,000 monthly searches in the UK alone.
Speaking about the growing interest, Chief Product Officer at Protein Works, Kyle Crowley, said: 'Creatine Monohydrate has been around for decades, but the renewed interest shows how effective it really is. We've focused on creating a clean, pure version that fits into real people's lives.'
This creatine monohydrate is vegan, filler-free and clean. The supplement is a micronised formula, which makes it easy to dissolve in liquid to consume and absorb by the body. Available in 100g, 200g, 500g and 1kg. Comes in three flavours, including unflavoured, Orange Burst and Berry Blitz. BUY NOW FROM £3.99 (WAS £8.99)
Whether you're chasing personal bests in the gym, navigating a demanding work schedule, or simply looking to stay sharp and active as you age, creatine could be the secret weapon you didn't know you needed to support muscle growth.
Creatine has been recognised for a whole host of other benefits that go beyond just toning your muscles, as it has also been said to support cognitive function, boost energy, aid recovery from sleep deprivation, and help maintain muscle mass as we age. In short, it's a supplement suitable for all ages and fitness abilities.
In a sea of supplements it can be hard to filter through the noise to understand whether you truly need the ingredient, and if so, which one to buy. Thankfully, we have done the hard work for you and found Creatine Monohydrate from Protein Works, which has garnered high praise.
Protein Works' Creatine Monohydrate promises to be a clean, vegan, filler-free, ultra-filtered, and micronised formula. One bug bear many have with dissolvable supplements is the chalky sediment at the bottom of the glass, but Protein Works has insisted this powder mixes into water, your juice or smoothie, effortlessly. Plus, this Creatine Monohydrate is absorbed easily into the body, which means better efficacy.
All ingredients in the brand's creatine have been sourced exclusively from BRC-accredited suppliers who undergo independent annual audits. This ensures everything you consume is held to the highest quality and regulatory standards.
This Creatine Monohydrate is available in three flavours (technically two), as it is available in an unflavoured powder, Orange Burst and Berry Blitz. It also comes in numerous sizes, including 100g, 200g, 500g and 1kg.
With an average of 9.8 out of 10 stars, it truly has been a hit with shoppers. More Trending
Connor gushed: 'Definitely noticed a difference in my gym performance. A must have for anyone looking to improve their performance.'
Another praised: 'The unflavoured is actually tasteless and mixes very well so is not powdery'.
While a separate shopper named Vicky added: 'Need to get fit quickly for a competition. This stuff is rocket fuel. Took 6g. I was telling myself the whole class 'my enemies can't do this'. And then did 5 sets of 1 minute sprints. Don't even feel tired.'
Better still, there is a sale on, which means you could secure Protein Works' Creatine Monohydrate 100g for £3.99 down from £8.99, while the largest 1kg bag has dropped from £62.49 down to £26.99.

The weird and wonderful ways you can cure a Glastonbury hangover
Glastonbury begins in a few days – are you fully prepared? (Picture: Shutterstock) Festival season is in full swing, with Britain's most famous festival set to kick off later this week. Glastonbury begins Wednesday, June 25 and wraps up on Sunday, June 29 at Worthy Farm in Somerset. As thousands prepare to reach the farm and millions of others prepare plans for other festivals, new research has revealed some of the weird post-festival fatigue cures attendees are using. Remedies range from an old-fashioned fry-up to hair of the dog to other more spiritual solutions. 27% of Millennials and Gen Z said they've tried aromatherapy and essential oils to recover after the music festival. Sign up for all of the latest stories Start your day informed with Metro's News Updates newsletter or get Breaking News alerts the moment it happens. Another 21% admitted to trying raw eggs, and 17% swear by crystal healing for a 'quick fix'. Despite trying some rather unusual tactics, 59% of those surveyed by Just Eat found the methods didn't always succeed. But what works? Some festival goers swear by raw eggs (Picture: Getty) Dr Amos Ogunkoya has helped launch 'Festival Aid Kits' to help Brits recover effectively, delivered to their door. He explained: 'After festivals, our bodies need a lot of conscious recovery, repair, and TLC. 'It's all about prioritising self-care after days of late nights, too much sun, and non-stop socialising, but many of us struggle to find solutions that actually stick.' Nearly half of all festival-goers admitted they've never felt worse than the day after their return – and the average festival recovery time is two days. Just Eat has partnered with Boots and Co-op to create Festival SOS aisles on the app. Items include Dr Amos' elite recovery aid – a tin of baked beans. Time is truly the only thing to heal a hangover (Picture: Shutterstock) Festival fiends are starting to realise the benefits too, as 14% of Brits voted baked beans as an absolute staple when returning home. Whilst the humble store-cupboard staple might not seem like it has healing powers, according to Dr Amos, the high-fibre, plant protein-rich nature of baked beans helps with slow energy release, which is great for combating fatigue, as well as supporting gut health. Another ingredient? Pickled beetroot. Besides being packed with vitamins and minerals, the fermentation process behind pickling produces probiotics to help boost the immune system and gut health recovery. Though beetroot itself is healthy, the juice it is pickled in can also reduce fatigue – 18% of Brits admitted to drinking pickle juice for a post-festival fix. Other hero recovery hacks in the kit include Lemon & Ginger Tea – a secret weapon in combatting feelings of nausea post-festival, DioraHydrate Effervescent Tablets to help replenish lost electrolytes after heat exposure. Back & Muscle Pain Relief Gel – an essential after trekking around with heavy rucksacks and sleeping on uneven campsite ground, and a Moisture Bomb Revitalising Tissue Mask also help bring a moment of self-care calm after the festival chaos.

How I stopped feeling insecure when my partner didn't orgasm
Looking up at Barry's* face, I noticed a bead of sweat running down his forehead. We'd been having sex in the same position for nearly 30 minutes; Barry looked exhausted and ready to give up – and he wasn't the only one. But I didn't want to be the one to throw the towel in, so I waited patiently until he himself finally admitted what we both knew – the orgasm wasn't coming. We'd tried a lot of different things to help Barry climax – oral sex, mutual masturbation and a variety of positions – but nothing had worked. You might think this would be a crisis – an event that prompted some serious introspection. But we had known each other for a while and weren't bothered. 'Don't stress it,' I told him, adding, 'Next time'. And that's what I want men and women to realise – it's simply not a big deal, for either party, not to finish every time. While it is true that there's an 'orgasm gap' between genders – with women having far fewer orgasms during sex – it is equally true that men can also struggle to 'get there'. Love reading juicy stories like this? Need some tips for how to spice things up in the bedroom? Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! A 2022 study showed that only 30% of women have an orgasm every time they have sex, and while the number for men was far higher at 61%, there still was far from a perfect success rate. And there are lots of reasons for that, from stress, to medication side effects, or simply just personal preference. Nowadays, I know not to take it badly if a man can't climax, but back in my early 20s, I wasn't quite so informed. Like with Derek*, a man I was sleeping with back then. He was tall and strong – and had a sexual stamina like nothing I'd ever experienced. There was just one issue: He took a very long time to orgasm, if he did at all. I'm not shaming my former lover but you see, Derek was large in more ways than one, meaning our hours-long sessions would start to get pretty painful for me. Because our situation was quite new and we were quite young, we didn't talk about this in any big detail. However, Derek acknowledged that he knew that it took him 'forever' to ejaculate. To borrow his own words, 'It's always been this way for me, I just need more time than most guys.' Eventually, the fact that Derek was so at ease with his own personal orgasm gap made me relax, too. Sometimes he came, sometimes he didn't – but it didn't stop us from having great sex. If my vagina felt a bit sensitive after a while, we would swap penetrative sex for something else or stop altogether. But not every experience has been quite this easy. I've been with men who went cold if I even mentioned them struggling to orgasm, even if I reassured them we were having great sex. Some of them didn't acknowledge that anything was amiss, while others just shrugged it off without speaking. Of course, if you are discussing someone else's orgasms, no matter their gender, it's crucial not to sound accusatory or judgemental. Stay away from phrases like 'Why can't you cum?' or, 'It's me, isn't it?'. That's easier said than done. Believe me, I understand that it can be stressful and anxiety-inducing if you are giving someone your A game and there's no 'end result'. But remember this: Some people, men included, are happy just enjoying the sensations of sex and consider this a 'win' in itself. Secondly, and much more importantly, don't assume you know why someone doesn't orgasm. One ex once told me that he'd had a long day at work and he really enjoyed our sex, but he was too distracted that night to climax. Another lover had been working hard outdoors all day, and in a number of ways simply didn't have the juice. My current boyfriend doesn't always orgasm during sex either – but there's no nefarious reason behind it. Sometimes, Alex prefers for just me to climax, because he finds it as rewarding as if he'd cum himself. Other times, we both like having lazy, slow sex that is about us feeling close and connected, not rushing to an imaginary finish line. Despite being quite confident in myself and our sex life, even now I admit that I have occasionally wondered if perhaps I've not done 'enough' to help him reach the 'Big O'. There's no shame in feeling insecure – it happens to all us, even the bold, confident sex columnists of the world. But when this happens to me, I do the same thing every time: I ask Alex for reassurance – and he confirms what I already know. Him choosing not to pursue an orgasm at all costs has nothing to do with my sexual skills or attractiveness. More Trending Nothing is 'wrong'. Like me, he sometimes just 'doesn't feel like having an orgasm'. It's all about communication. So let's all stop worrying, and enjoy our sex lives, whatever the outcome.
