Creatine Monohydrate by German Elite Nutrition

Do you want to start taking creatine or replenish your supply? Creatine monohydrate is the most commonly used form of creatine. German Elite Nutrition uses micronized powder that dissolves well. Each 5-gram serving provides 4998 mg of creatine monohydrate, of which 4398 mg is pure creatine, supplemented with vitamin B6. This means one scoop per day is enough.

What creatine is

Creatine is a substance naturally found in the body that you also obtain from meat and fish. The following EU-approved health claim applies to creatine: creatine increases physical performance during repeated short bursts of very intense physical exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine; the claim is intended for adults who exercise very intensively. A 5-gram serving of powder provides 4.4 grams of creatine, so it exceeds this amount. For adults over the age of 55, the following also applies: daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine in combination with resistance training where the load gradually increases, at least three times a week for several weeks.

Do you need a loading phase?

A frequently asked question about creatine monohydrate is whether you need to start with a loading phase. This is not necessary: simply follow the recommended use of 1 serving per day. The time of day does not matter: some people take creatine after training, while others take it at a fixed time of day, for example with breakfast. Choose a time that is easy to stick to, even on rest days. Creatine can cause weight gain because your muscles retain more water, which is a normal and well-known effect and has nothing to do with fat gain.

Micronized powder with vitamin B6

This product contains only creatine monohydrate and vitamin B6, without fillers, flavorings, sweeteners or preservatives. Thanks to its ultra-fine structure (mesh factor 200), the powder dissolves easily in water, juice or a shake, without clumping. This fine milling also means that the powder is less likely to settle at the bottom of your cup. In addition to creatine, each serving contains 2.1 mg of vitamin B6, or 150% of the reference intake. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is completely vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and GMO-free, so it is also suitable if you do not use animal products. This makes this creatine monohydrate a powder that fits almost any diet.

Tub or refill bag, 500 or 1000 grams

You choose the packaging that suits you. There is a sturdy tub and a more affordable refill bag, each in 500 grams (approximately 100 servings) or 1000 grams (approximately 200 servings). In all cases, the contents are the same micronized creatine monohydrate with vitamin B6. Dissolve 5 grams of powder in at least 250 ml of water or fruit juice and drink it immediately. With the included scoop, you can quickly measure out 5 grams, so you do not have to weigh it. Many athletes combine creatine with other basic products, for example with a shake after training or with beta-alanine in a homemade mix. Because the powder is neutral in taste, you can easily mix it into a drink of your choice. In short, you get pure creatine powder that dissolves easily, in the quantity and packaging that suits you, with 4.4 grams of creatine per serving. This means one serving per day is enough and a tub or bag will last a long time.
