"The 39-year-old singer, record label CEO, and mother of four, known for her high-energy performances, told Business Insider she mixes around five grams (or one scoop) of creatine powder into a glass of apple juice each morning. "Simply Apple is my favorite!" she said in an interview organized by the supplement company, Thorne. "Creatine is a good way that I like to kick off my day because I need that energy boost," she said."
"The body naturally produces creatine, a building block of the molecule called ATP that gives our cells energy. We can also get it from eating proteins, like red meat and seafood. As a supplement, it typically comes in the form of a white powder akin to cornflour. For it to work, you have to take it daily for a few weeks, then continue to maintain the benefits."
"Ciara takes creatine supplements daily to support her energy levels throughout the day. Creatine is known for muscle-boosting, but emerging research suggests it has other benefits. Studies have linked the supplement to heart and bone health, better mood, and focus. Lately, though, creatine has been gaining traction for a different set of potential benefits, as emerging evidence suggests it may protect against Alzheimer's disease, strengthen bones, improve mood, and boost heart health."
Ciara mixes about five grams of creatine powder into a glass of apple juice each morning to support daily energy. Creatine is produced in the body and obtained from protein sources such as red meat and seafood. As a supplement it appears as a white powder and requires daily use for several weeks to build and then maintain benefits. Creatine increases cellular ATP availability, supporting short bursts of energy and potentially enabling extra repetitions during resistance training. Longstanding evidence supports muscle and strength gains. Emerging studies also link creatine to potential protection against Alzheimer's, improved bone strength, mood, and heart health.
