What changesAnd roughly when

make the
work show.

First sachet
nothing, and that's the point

No flavour, no tingle, no buzz. Creatine isn't a stimulant — it's a store your muscles fill up over weeks. Tip it into whatever you're already drinking and forget about it.

First month
the last two reps stop being the wall

As the store fills, the usual first sign is that the set doesn't fall apart at the end. Same weight, one or two more reps — repeated across every session of the week.

Three months
the numbers on the bar have moved

Creatine doesn't train for you. It lets you do slightly more work, slightly more often — and three months of slightly more work is the part that shows.

How to use it

One sachet a day, stirred into water, juice, coffee or whatever you're already drinking. Time of day doesn't matter — creatine works by saturating a store, not by hitting you in the moment. Take it on rest days too; that's the half people skip.

Every dayAny time of dayRest days too
Established, not our claim

we didn't have to invent
a reason for this one.

Creatine monohydrate is the most heavily researched ingredient in sports nutrition — decades of published trials in healthy adults, on the same 5g daily dose that is in our sachet. We haven't improved it, blended it, flavoured it or renamed it. Here is what the research base actually supports, in plain language, with no study cherry-picked to flatter us.

Get stronger over weeks
5g
The standard daily maintenance dose used across the creatine literature in healthy adults. One Bare sachet, once a day — that's the whole protocol.
Nothing to decode
1
One ingredient: Pürest Creatine™ Creatine Monohydrate, independently tested to 99.99% purity. No flavouring, no sweetener, no blend.
No stimulant, no timing games
0
Zero caffeine and zero flavour. Creatine works by filling a store over weeks, so the hour you take it isn't the variable that decides the outcome.
Cost per day
R10.67
R320 for 30 sachets. About eleven rand a day for the most researched ingredient in the cabinet, at the purest grade we could find.
The full picture
what the research base actually supports
01 Established
It's a store, not a stimulant
Creatine is held in muscle as phosphocreatine, the fuel behind short, hard efforts. Topping that store up over weeks is the entire mechanism — there is nothing to feel in the moment.
02 Established
Monohydrate is the form studied
Creatine monohydrate is the form the overwhelming majority of the research has used. Newer forms have to prove they beat it, and so far the case for paying more isn't there.
03 Established
5g a day is the standard dose
A daily 5g maintenance dose is what the literature has generally used in healthy adults, and it is enough to reach and hold saturation.
Bare, not the research One Bare sachet is exactly 5,000mg of creatine monohydrate.
04 Established
Loading is optional
A loading phase fills the store faster. Taking 5g a day gets you to the same place — it just takes a few weeks instead of a few days.
05 Established
Timing barely matters
Because the effect comes from saturation rather than an acute hit, the time of day you take it isn't what decides the result. Consistency is.
06 Established
Rest days count
Saturation is held by taking it every day, not only on training days. Skipping rest days is the most common way people quietly undo it.
07 Established
It doesn't replace the training
Creatine lets you do slightly more work, slightly more often. The adaptation still comes from the work — the supplement only widens the room to do it.
08 Established
Some water comes with it
Creatine draws water into the muscle cell, which is part of how it works. A small early rise on the scale is usually that, and not fat.
09 Established
Among the most-studied there is
Creatine monohydrate has been examined in hundreds of published trials in healthy adults over several decades. Very few ingredients in sports nutrition have that depth of research behind them.

Creatine monohydrate is among the most extensively researched ingredients in sports nutrition, with decades of published trials in healthy adults. The statements above describe creatine monohydrate as an ingredient and are deliberately not attributed to any single paper. Bare Pure Creatine has not itself been the subject of a clinical trial.

Complementary medicine / health supplement; not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

so why this monohydrate?

Because the thing with decades of research behind it is plain monohydrate, and the thing that separates one monohydrate from another is what else comes along with it.

Making creatine leaves by-products behind: dicyandiamide, dihydrotriazine and creatinine. In our batch the first two weren't detectable at all and creatinine measured 7.8 mg per kg, against a 100 mg/kg EFSA guideline. Typical creatine carries about 208 mg per kg of the three combined (NNB Nutrition market comparison). Bare figures: independent lab analysis (Mérieux NutriSciences), batch HPCM2026061601.

the honest answers.

What does 99.99% pure actually mean?

It means that in a 25 kg bag of our creatine, less than half a teaspoon is anything other than creatine. The leftovers from making creatine, the by-products, are what separate a clean monohydrate from a cheap one. Ours is Pürest Creatine™, tested by an independent lab for every batch, and the certificates are available on request.

Do I need to load?

No. A loading phase — 20g a day for a week — fills the store faster, but 5g a day gets you to the same place in a few weeks instead of a few days. One sachet daily is the simplest version and the one most people stick to.

Does it matter when I take it?

Not really. Creatine works by saturating a store in the muscle over weeks, not by doing something in the next hour. Take it whenever you'll actually remember — with breakfast, in your coffee, in your training bottle. Consistency is the only variable that matters.

Will it make me hold water?

Creatine draws water into the muscle cell, and that's part of how it works. Some people see the scale move by a kilo or so in the first weeks — that's intramuscular water, not fat. It sits inside the muscle rather than under the skin, which is why most people notice fuller-looking arms and legs rather than puffiness.

Can I take it with Bare Aminos?

Yes — that's the pairing most customers land on. 5g to build, 5g to rebuild. Creatine is the daily habit that lets you do slightly more work; Bare Aminos is the amino load that helps you recover from it. They do different jobs and there's no reason to choose.

Why sachets instead of a tub?

Because the dose is the whole product. A sachet is 5g exactly, every time, with no scoop to level off and no guessing on a travel week. It's also the format people are most likely to take on rest days, which is where consistency usually breaks.

When does it ship, and what does delivery cost?

Orders ship from Durban in 2–4 working days, anywhere in South Africa. Delivery is free over R1250 and tracked on everything else. All prices are in ZAR.
