Want to take creatine without a shaker, scoop, or clumps? Creatine capsules provide the same creatine monohydrate as powder, but in a fixed dose that you can simply swallow. German Elite Nutrition provides 3750 mg of pure creatine monohydrate per daily dose of three capsules, with gelatin (beef) as the only excipient. Convenient for athletes who are often on the go, take their supplements at work, or simply don't feel like weighing and mixing.
Creatine is a substance naturally found in the body, which you also get from meat and fish. For creatine, an EU-approved health claim applies: creatine increases physical performance during repeated short bursts of very intense physical exertion. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine; the claim is intended for adults who engage in very intense sports. A daily dose of three capsules provides 3750 mg of creatine monohydrate, which exceeds those 3 g of creatine. 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. That 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.
Powder is cheaper per gram, there's no point in arguing about that. Yet many people deliberately choose creatine capsules, and that has everything to do with convenience. The difference lies purely in daily use. No carrying around a shaker, no powder sticking to the bottom of your glass, no hassle with a scale. You count out three capsules and you're done. For those who want to continue taking creatine faithfully, even on busy days, capsules are often the form you can really stick with. An additional plus point: your dose is always the same. With powder, you scoop a bit more generously one time than another, while with capsules you know exactly how much you are getting.
A question almost everyone asks: should I start with a loading phase? The short answer is no, you don't have to: just follow the recommended use of three capsules per day, also on your rest days. The exact time of intake matters little; choose a fixed time that you won't easily forget.
You decide how large your supply will be. The jar with 180 capsules is good for sixty days at three capsules per day, ideal for trying out creatine capsules for a while first. Want to last longer and get a bit more value per dose? Then the jar with 420 capsules is the logical choice, which will take you almost half a year further. This way you never pay for more than you need and you always keep a supply at home for your regular routine. Both jars contain exactly the same capsules, only the quantity differs. Those who have already had creatine in their routine for a while usually choose the large jar right away.
In short: creatine capsules are the practical side of a classic supplement. The same 3750 mg of creatine monohydrate per day as with powder, but without a shaker and without a scale. For athletes who simply want to take creatine and don't want to look anywhere else.
Three capsules provide 3750 mg of pure creatine monohydrate, well above the 3 grams per day associated with the approved performance claim.
Simply count out three capsules and swallow them. Convenient for on the go, at work, or while traveling, with no sticky or clumpy powder.
The capsules contain creatine monohydrate with gelatin (beef) as the only excipient. No fillers or colorings. Please note: due to the gelatin, this product is not vegetarian or vegan.
Choose a smaller jar to start with, or the large jar of 420 capsules for a lower price per dose and almost half a year's supply.

In terms of effect, it makes no difference. Your body absorbs the creatine from a capsule just as well as from powder, as long as you consume the same amount. The difference lies in convenience: powder is more economical per gram, while capsules are more convenient because you don't have to weigh or mix anything.
Three capsules per day. Together, these provide 3750 mg of creatine monohydrate, which is well above the 3 grams you want to consume daily. You can take all three capsules at once or spread them throughout the day.
The timing makes little difference. Creatine works by building up in your muscles over time, so consistent intake is more important than timing. Choose a fixed time of day that you can easily remember and take it on rest days too.
Per gram of creatine, powder is indeed cheaper. With capsules, you pay for the convenience of a fixed dose that you can swallow easily. The tub of 420 capsules significantly reduces the price per dose compared to the smaller pack.
Creatine monohydrate is the most researched form and its effect is the most well-documented. Newer or more expensive forms do not demonstrably perform better in practice. That is why German Elite Nutrition chooses pure monohydrate, without additives.
No. A loading phase saturates your muscles slightly faster, but a regular daily dose will get you to the same point after a few weeks. Both methods work; the loading phase is purely a matter of how quickly you want to get there.
