100% Creatine Monohydrate.
Here's a no-nonsense creatine powder supplement designed to help you smash your fitness goals! With an impressive 5g Creatine Monohydrate per serve, you’ll be hitting peak performance, over and over.
Creatine is a combination of amino acids, mostly found in our muscles that is converted into creatine phosphate and then ultimately into a high energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule. This enables our bodies to unlock an explosive source of energy making it highly effective for us to train harder - and longer.
Creatine gives us a boost in strength, while protein helps our muscles repair after a workout. Naturally, creatine can be obtained from eating red meat, however, a creatine supplement helps to saturate your muscles with creatine much more so than would be possible by eating meat.
Mix one scoop (5g) with 200ml of chilled water and consume immediately. It is recommended to have a maximum of one serving per day in conjunction with a balanced, wholesome diet.
Creatine is a substance that is found naturally in muscle cells. It helps muscles to produce explosive energy when performing exercise that over exerts your muscles such as weight lifting, running or crossfit.
Creatine is designed for those who are wanting to take their training and performance to the next level - the explosive level! It is also great for both short term and long term muscle growth and can be consumed for all different levels and abilities.
The optimum time to take creatine all comes down to your training and supplement strategy and goals - so there isn't a one size fits all! But we’ll lay out three typical times throughout your training week to take it below:
Pre-workout: If you’re looking for an explosive, large burst of energy for your workout, creatine can be taken pre-workout. It is recommended to take it 30-60minutes prior to training as this will help replenish your phosphocreatine (PCr) levels and prepare your muscles for an explosive, high energy training session ahead.
Post workout: Many key nutrients in your body are at their lowest after a training session, including creatine. Adding a creatine supplement into your post workout shake will help replenish muscle tissue, assist in recovery and support an increase in muscle mass.
Rest day: It is just as important to keep your nutrients replenished on your non-training days as it is on training days and will help maintain levels. Take your creatine supplement on its own, with water or in your favourite shake.
There is a possibility of a number of side effects but if taken correctly, these are unlikely. Such side effects could include muscle cramping, nausea, dehydration, weight gain and dizziness.
