muscles, brain and energy

Muscle is more than just strength or aesthetics - it’s essential for overall health and longevity. Highly metabolically active, muscle burns more calories at rest, improves energy efficiency, and supports mobility. Maintaining muscle as we age helps reduce the risk of falls, supports joint comfort, and promotes independence, allowing us to continue enjoying an active and fulfilling life in our later years.
The mitochondria are the ‘powerhouses’ of our cells that produce ATP, the energy currency of the body. Creatine enhances mitochondrial health by supporting ATP production. Healthy mitochondria means improved energy levels, muscle function, and brain health. By stabilising ATP levels, creatine aids endurance and overall vitality.
Contrary to popular belief, creatine won’t make you bulk up. Creatine improves performance and muscle recovery and will not directly lead to unwanted muscle growth or excess size unless paired with regular strength training and a calorie surplus.
Magnesium, the ‘master mineral,’ supports ATP production - the energy source creatine helps replenish - and aids relaxation and recovery. Vitamin D is important for bone health, muscle function, and immunity but often runs low, especially in winter. Together, magnesium activates vitamin D, enhancing its benefits and supporting overall energy and well-being.
Creatine often evokes images of gritty 1980s gyms and muscle-bound 'bros' chasing reps. Yet, research reveals creatine as a powerful, multifaceted nutrient essential not only for muscle growth but also for brain health, cognitive function, energy metabolism, and longevity - benefiting far beyond the world of bodybuilding.
True Creatine+ is a premium supplement that combines creatine, taurine, magnesium, and vitamin D to provide a comprehensive blend of ingredients designed to support muscle energy, performance, recovery, and overall health. While creatine is well-researched for its performance-enhancing properties, the addition of taurine, magnesium, and vitamin D elevates this blend’s benefits to a new level.
Recent research highlights the broader benefits of these ingredients beyond just physical performance. Creatine, taurine, magnesium, and vitamin D have been shown to support various aspects of health, including menopause management, cognitive function, and longevity. This makes True Creatine+ a superior choice for those seeking to optimise their performance in all areas of life and support daily well-being.
Looking for a neutral-tasting Creatine? As gentle on the stomach as it is on the taste buds, True Creatine+ dissolves with ease into water, squash or hot drinks, leaving no noticeable aftertaste.
Creatine is naturally chalky, and if it settles at the bottom of your cup, the flavour can be more noticeable. To avoid this, mix your scoop in a larger glass of cold water or juice than usual, making sure that you give it a good stir.
True Creatine+ is formulated with synthetically-sourced, vegan-friendly ingredients. This is common practice for creatine monohydrate supplements. Your body produces some creatine naturally, and you can also obtain it from certain foods like red meat and seafood (e.g. you’ll gain around 5g of creatine in a 900g steak!). This makes it a particularly important supplement for vegetarians and vegans.For a deeper dive, read the ultimate guide to our new ritual True Creatine+ here.
The loading phase for creatine was a common method previously used to quickly saturate your muscles with creatine, however some people may experience stomach discomfort or bloating due to the higher doses of creatine during the loading phase.
The loading phase is now thought to be unnecessary and it is better to simply start with a maintenance dose of 3-5 grams per day. While it may take about 3 weeks for your creatine stores to become fully saturated with creatine, you will still achieve the same overall benefits in the long run. True Creatine + contains 4.5g of creatine per serving, perfect for your daily maintenance dose!
Yes, you can and should take creatine on non-workout days. Consistency is important for creatine supplementation, so it is recommended to take it daily, regardless of your workout schedule. Creatine does not work as a pre-workout supplement and does not need to be taken just before exercising. The benefits come from taking a daily dose to ensure you maintain elevated creatine levels in your muscles, which means you get the maximum benefits over time.
Taking creatine without exercising will still have beneficial effects, but we recommend engaging in an active ‘brave’ lifestyle for the full range of benefits. Even without exercise, creatine supplementation will increase the creatine stores in your muscles. This means your muscles will be better prepared for future physical activity, should you decide to start exercising. Creatine can help reduce muscle breakdown, which is beneficial for muscle maintenance, especially as you age or during periods of inactivity.
Creatine may still help improve memory, mental fatigue, menopause symptoms and overall brain health, even in the absence of exercise. You will also benefit from the consistent intake of magnesium and vitamin D including reduction of tiredness and fatigue, bone health, muscle function and immune function.
For overall health benefits and to maintain elevated creatine levels, taking True Creatine+ at the same time each day can be beneficial. Whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening, consistency is key to ensuring your body receives a steady supply of creatine, taurine, vitamin D, and magnesium. Taking True Creatine+ with a meal can enhance effectiveness and absorption as well as reduce the likelihood of any gastrointestinal discomfort. This can be particularly useful if you experience any stomach issues when taking supplements on an empty stomach.
While there is flexibility in timing, the most important factor is consistency. Choose a time that fits best with your daily routine, whether it's before or after your workout, or at a specific time each day. This will help you maximise the benefits of True Creatine+ for muscle energy, performance, recovery, and overall health.

"I’ve been really impressed with the Ancient + Brave Creatine. It’s easy to mix, has a pleasant taste, and fits really easily into my daily routine. I’ve noticed a positive difference in my training, particularly with my strength and energy during workouts. I also like that it’s a simple, quality product without unnecessary fuss. Overall, a great addition to my routine and one I’d happily recommend."
"I’ve tried other brand creatine in the past and it really upset my stomach. Having used A & B collagen I know it is ok for me so thought I would try A & B creatine. Started creatine regime with 1 mg a day for a week, then 1.5. Now up to 3mg a day and the gradual loading approach is definitely working. I take mid morning in an all milk latte along with my collagen. So far so good. I will aim for 5/6 mg per day as recommended. I Drink lots of water normally but find that I definitely need a bit more since starting creatine. Thank you for such great quality products."
"I'll start with the "disclaimer", I've only been taking this for a short time but so far the results are impressive. I am a "weekend warrior" engaging in serious gardening and this can bring with it aches, pains and general tiredness. The creatine seems to helping with the recovery and improving sleep which is unexpected by very welcome. Second "one off" purchase just made and if the improvement is sustained it will be added to the subscription"
"I am so pleased I Introduced True Creatine into my routine. I mix it in my morning coffee along side True Collagen. I am able to complete a full workout and weight resistance everyday and add 7000 steps . I am 66 years of age and I so needed this . I have more energy and feel so much more wide awake. I am now introducing omega 3 s to my routine. Will let everyone know how I get on . Thank you Ancient and Brave."
"I absolutely love all of my Ancient + Brave products. I use bothe the Creatine and Collagen supplements and they have made such a difference to the way I face the world every single day. I wasnt sure at first but they work, I sleep better and have more energy, very little brain fog. I am almost 70 and was a little apprehensive about trying yet another brand but Ancient + Brave didn’t make claims, they simply produced the goods."
"This has already slipped into my daily routine and having a big impact on amongst other things my ability to focus throughout the day. Thank you Ancient and Brave"
"I have purchased these in both the collagen and the creatine to take with us on holiday in October. As we wanted to ensure you remained consistent for the week so these are perfect for that and allows us to not miss out whilst away"
"This has made a huge difference to my joints, feel like im 10 years younger! Would have given it 5 stars but lost a star due to the plastic packaging"
"A little sceptical where creatine was concerned with previously thinking this was for body building men but I can say I am truly feeling the benefits."
"I am a big fan of ancient and brave having used the collagen for years now, but the creatine is slightly different. It does have a taste which means I'm still figuring out what to have it in so it's more disguised. In terms of the effects I think its too early to tell."
