What is SAGA?
As an emerging supplement, creatine has shown to have many health properties. SAGA creatine drinks make the consumption of creatine easier. Our sugar-free and vegan friendly drinks are designed to enhance performance whether you’re an athlete or a senior.
What is SAGA’s symbol?
Inspired by the chemical structure of creatine monohydrate, SAGA’s symbol represents dynamism, health and pays homage to creatine monohydrate.
Who is SAGA for?
SAGA Creatine drinks are for anyone who wants a refreshing drink with proven health benefits.
What is creatine?
Creatine is a natural compound found in muscle cells that helps produce energy during exercises. Being the most studied supplement, more than a thousand studies have also shown creatine to boost physical and mental performance, support brain health, help menopausal-related issues, aid glucose metabolism, maintain a healthy blood sugar balance, preserve muscle mass, fight fatigue, and protect strength and function as we age.
How does microencapsulation work?
Microencapsulation works by coating each creatine particle with a thin, protective layer – typically made from fats – that shield it from water, oxygen, and acid, which would otherwise cause it to degrade into inactive creatinine.
What are the benefits of microencapsulation?
At neutral pH (7.0), regular creatine monohydrate rapidly degrades in water, significantly limiting its effectiveness and bioavailability. In contrast, our microencapsulated creatine – CreaBev® – maintains up to 73% stability over time, thanks to a patented microencapsulation process that shields it from moisture and degradation. This also means microencapsulation increases bioavailability and protects creatine from degradation in water and stomach acid, which allows more of the ingested creatine to reach the bloodstream and muscle tissue.
How does creatine work in the body?
Creatine functions in the body primarily by replenishing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell’s main energy currency. During high-intensity, short-duration activities such as sprinting or weightlifting, ATP is rapidly consumed to fuel muscle contractions. Creatine phosphate stored in muscle cells donates a phosphate group to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to quickly regenerate ATP, thereby sustaining energy production. Beyond its role in energy metabolism, creatine also influences cellular hydration, protein synthesis, and mitochondrial function, which contribute to muscle growth and recovery. Additionally, creatine supports neurological health by providing energy to brain cells, enhancing cognitive functions under demanding conditions. This multifaceted role explains why creatine supplementation can improve both physical performance and mental capacity.
What is ATP?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main energy source used by your body’s cells. It powers everything from muscle contractions to brain activity. Think of it as your body’s “fuel currency”, whenever you move, think, or breathe, your cells use ATP to get the job done. Creatine helps your body make more ATP, especially during short, intense efforts like lifting or sprinting.
How does SAGA and creatine help the elderly?
Creatine supplementation provides multiple benefits for the elderly, including improved muscle strength, cognitive function, and overall health. Studies show significant gains in grip and leg strength, lean muscle mass, endurance, and functional ability when combined with resistance training. Higher grip strength – which increases with creatine use – is linked to a lower fear of falling, helping older adults maintain confidence and mobility. Creatine also improves performance in daily tasks such as standing up from a chair, reflecting its practical impact on independence and quality of life. In patients with Alzheimer’s disease, creatine enhances both physical strength and cognitive performance, supports neuronal health, and offers neuroprotective effects. Additionally, creatine boosts immune cell energy, potentially strengthening anti-tumor defenses, and higher dietary intake has been associated with lower mortality risk. Research consistently confirms its safety, with side effects no more common than placebo.
What is SAGA’s mission and vision?
SAGA’s vision: “To unlock people’s potential in the most efficient way for all aspects of life.”
SAGA’s mission: “To elevate individuals’ lives to the next level in a healthy and natural way.”
Are SAGA products vegan?
