OstroVit Lemon Creatine Monohydrate
Lemon is perhaps the most obvious flavor for a sports drink, and for good reason. It keeps it refreshing. This creatine monohydrate from OstroVit tastes like lemonade as soon as you dissolve one scoop in water. Each 3-gram scoop provides 2600mg of creatine monohydrate, and the 500-gram bag contains 166 servings.
Lemon flavor, also in your tea
The tartness comes from citric acid, which does double duty here: it adds flavor and keeps the drink refreshing. The mix also contains a lemon flavoring and the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K. Dissolve one scoop in 100 to 150ml of water or juice. With orange juice, you get a kind of citrus mix; with water, a light lemonade. Creatine dissolves slightly more easily in warm water than in cold water, and lemon is one of the few flavors that doesn't taste strange in a cup of tea. Drink it right away, though. After a few minutes, creatine settles to the bottom of the liquid.
How your body uses creatine
What many people don't know is that you produce about 1 to 2 grams of creatine yourself every day. Your liver builds it up from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. It travels through your blood to your muscles, where most of it stays. In the muscle cell, your body attaches a phosphate group to it. The result is called phosphocreatine. Creatine is found mainly in meat and fish.
Creatine monohydrate
On the shelf, you'll find creatine in all sorts of forms: HCl, ethyl ester, buffered (Kre-Alkalyn), or nitrate. This product contains creatine monohydrate: creatine attached to one water molecule. It is a stable form. You'll see two numbers on the label. One 3-gram scoop provides 2600mg of creatine monohydrate, of which 2288mg is pure creatine. The rest is the water molecule. That 88 percent ratio applies to every monohydrate, including other brands.
Who creatine is interesting for
Creatine has traditionally been associated with strength sports, but the group of users is broader. Think of sprinters, soccer players, field hockey players, and anyone who trains in short, intense bursts, such as in CrossFit or interval training. The OstroVit label lists adults who exercise intensively as the target group.
A lemonade with a purpose. With this creatine monohydrate from OstroVit, you have a refreshing scoop for 166 days, whether you stir it into water, juice, or tea.
Why OstroVit Creatine Monohydrate Lemon?
Fresh lemon, not cloyingly sweet lemonade
Citric acid and lemon flavoring create a tart, refreshing drink. Sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame K.
Also tasty in lukewarm tea
Creatine dissolves slightly more easily in warm water, and the lemon flavor goes perfectly with that.
166 servings of 3 grams
The 500-gram bag lasts for well over five months with one scoop per day.
2600mg creatine monohydrate per scoop
Per 3-gram serving, the label states 2600mg creatine monohydrate, of which 2288mg is creatine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should you also take creatine on rest days?
Yes. The label recommends 1 serving on rest days too, then after waking up. The creatine stores in your muscles slowly decrease if you skip a few days. By taking it every day, those stores remain replenished.
Can you put creatine in coffee or tea?
You can, but the label recommends 100 to 150ml of water or juice. The lemon flavor works surprisingly well in lukewarm tea, by the way. Creatine dissolves slightly more easily in warm water. Do drink it right away, though, because creatine does not remain stable in liquid indefinitely.
Why is there no 3 grams of creatine per serving?
Because a 3-gram scoop also contains flavorings. Of those 3 grams, 2600mg is creatine monohydrate; the rest is citric acid, flavoring, and sweetener for the lemon flavor. Calculated out, you get 2288mg of pure creatine. If you want to know exactly what you are taking, always look at the 'of which creatine' line in the table.
Is creatine also simply in your food?
Yes, especially in meat and fish. A kilo of raw beef or herring contains roughly 3 to 5 grams of creatine, and some of that is lost during cooking. To get the amount in a 3-gram scoop, you would therefore have to eat quite a bit of meat. Plant-based food contains almost no creatine.
What is the difference between the flavored version and the unflavored version?
The lemon version contains 2600mg of creatine monohydrate per 3-gram scoop, plus citric acid, flavoring, and sweeteners. The unflavored version contains 3000mg per 3 grams and nothing else. If you drink your creatine separately in water, a flavor might be more pleasant. If you mix it into a shake or juice, you will probably prefer the unflavored version.
