Then \u003cstrong\u003ecreatine capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e are a convenient solution. Creatine 1250 Mega Caps by the Polish Olimp Sport Nutrition contains 1250mg of micronized creatine monohydrate per capsule. With three capsules on a training day, you get 3300mg of pure creatine. This package contains 120 capsules in convenient blister strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat creatine monohydrate is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine is a substance that your body produces itself from three amino acids: arginine, glycine and methionine. Most creatine is stored in your muscles, where it is linked to phosphate to form phosphocreatine. This is a fast reserve fuel for short, explosive efforts, such as a heavy set of squats or a sprint. You also get creatine from your diet, especially from meat and fish. Creatine monohydrate is the form that is most commonly used in sports nutrition: creatine bound to a water molecule. Creatine increases physical performance during repeated short, high-intensity efforts. This beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 grams of creatine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMega Caps, what's so mega about them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name says it all. A Mega Caps capsule from Olimp is generously filled, with 1250mg of creatine monohydrate per piece. This means you only need three per training day to exceed 3 grams of creatine. The creatine is micronized, which means the powder is extra finely ground, to a so-called 200 mesh. This allows more to fit in a capsule. 89.3% of the total weight of these creatine capsules consists of creatine monohydrate; the rest is a little microcrystalline cellulose as a filler and an anti-caking agent. The capsule shell is made of gelatin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use creatine in capsule form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany athletes wonder when is the best time to take their creatine. Olimp advises taking three capsules during training on training days, with plenty of water. The convenience of creatine capsules is that you can easily take them in your sports bag, without a shaker or scoop. Good to know: creatine can lead to a slightly higher body weight, because your muscles retain more water. Olimp recommends not using creatine continuously, but in periods of two to three months followed by a break of one to two months. With 120 capsules, you have enough for 40 training days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: Creatine 1250 Mega Caps is a micronized creatine monohydrate in large capsules, made in Olimp's own factory in Poland. Three capsules per training day, no powder, no hassle. For athletes who do strength training or sprint work and prefer to take their creatine as a capsule, this is a straightforward choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Olimp Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54826893967698,"sku":"Olimp-001","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/Olimp-001.jpg?v=1790248942","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/creatine-1250-mega-caps","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
