German Elite Nutrition takes a different approach with this \u003cstrong\u003ecreatine monohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e in bubblegum flavour. A 550 g tub gives you 110 servings. Each 5 g serving delivers 3000 mg of pure creatine from 3410 mg of monohydrate, plus 500 mg of L-taurine. Designed for athletes who want to make it part of their daily routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bubblegum tastes like in your shaker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBubblegum is not a subtle flavour. It's that pink chewing gum from the vending machine at the supermarket. Distinctly sweet and quite nostalgic. You'll either immediately love the flavour or dislike it completely. There's little middle ground. One thing you should know beforehand: this bubblegum creatine contains 0 g of sugar. So you won't be left with that sticky candy film on your teeth that real chewing gum leaves behind. The sweetness comes from sucralose. It does not contain aspartame. The flavour remains full-bodied in 250 ml of water. Stir it into apple or pear juice, and it starts to taste like lemonade. Some training buddies do this to tone down the candy aspect. Think of it as a candy shop in liquid form, but without the sugar that usually comes with it. The creatine powder is micronised. This means it dissolves quickly and leaves no granules in your last sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat creatine does in short, high-intensity sets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine is not some exotic lab product. Your body produces it itself, and you get it from meat and fish. It sits in your muscles ready for work that lasts a few seconds. A heavy set, a thirty-metre sprint, an explosive jump. Creatine improves physical performance during repeated short bursts of very intense physical exertion. This claim applies to a daily intake of 3 g of creatine. One serving gives you exactly that, as 3410 mg of creatine monohydrate delivers 3000 mg of pure creatine. So think about the difference between your third and fifth set. Not an hour of tempo running. GEN also adds 500 mg of L-taurine per serving. This is an amino acid found in meat and fish, among other things, not a stimulant like caffeine. It sits alongside the creatine in the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy you should also take it on rest days\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine monohydrate is not a pre-workout you take just before a heavy session. It's about the stores in your muscles. You build them up by doing the same thing every day. That's why you take one serving a day, even on non-training days. Two scoops in at least 250 ml of water or fruit juice, stir, and you're done. With 110 servings in a tub, daily use will last you well over three months. In short: you don't have to think much about it. If you forget one day, it's no disaster. You simply take your serving again the next day. And that's exactly where the benefit of flavoured creatine lies. You're more likely to leave a neutral tub sitting on a busy Tuesday. You're more likely to consciously reach for something you enjoy. In practice, that means you have a slightly better chance of sticking with it for months on end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdding flavour doesn't change the powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a belief that flavoured creatine contains less creatine than the neutral stuff. It makes sense why people think that. You see a longer ingredients list and a light goes off. Then look at what's actually in it: citric acid as an acidifier, flavouring, and sucralose. That's the whole list. The creatine in monohydrate form remains the same molecule, in the same amount per 5 g serving. You can add 0 kcal, 0 g of fat, and 0 g of sugar to your daily total. So you don't have to adjust the rest of your day. The product is vegan, and GEN has deliberately omitted aspartame. Many people also wonder whether you can stir such a powder into juice. You can, GEN lists both water and fruit juice. If you don't like chewing gum, you can choose from seven other flavours in the same range. But bubblegum is the most distinctive of the lot. That's what you choose it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, this is 3 g of creatine from monohydrate per day, in a coat that tastes like pink chewing gum. 110 servings, no sugar, no aspartame. And a powder that gets into your water without lumps. Whether you like it or not, you'll know after your first shake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Bubblegum","offer_id":54258418090322,"sku":"gen-121-006","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gen-flavoured-creatine-plus-550g-bubblegum-g-1.jpg?v=1793634792","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/flavoured-creatine-plus-550g-bubblegum-gen","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
