OstroVit Mango Creatine Monohydrate
If you're a bit tired of citrus flavors, you might prefer something sweeter. This creatine monohydrate from OstroVit has a rounded, tropical mango flavor with a slight tangy note. One 3-gram scoop contains 2,600 mg of creatine monohydrate. Dissolve it in a glass of water or juice. The 500-gram bag provides 166 servings, enough for over five months of daily use.
Mango, the milder flavor
Mango has a fuller flavor than lemon or green apple. This makes it suitable for those who prefer their creatine not to be too sour. OstroVit uses a mango flavoring, a little citric acid, and the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K. It contains no sugar. Try mixing it with orange or pineapple juice instead of water. It will taste like a tropical fruit juice. The label recommends 100 to 150 ml of liquid per scoop, after waking up or after training on training days, and after waking up on rest days. Stir well, as creatine does not dissolve completely and will otherwise settle at the bottom.
What creatine is
Creatine is not a foreign substance to your body. A 70-kilogram adult has about 120 grams in their body, almost all of it in their muscles. Some is free creatine, while the rest is phosphocreatine. The difference lies in that single phosphate group.
Why monohydrate instead of HCl or Kre-Alkalyn
Creatine HCl (creatine bound to hydrochloric acid) dissolves more easily, allowing manufacturers to use smaller servings. Kre-Alkalyn is a buffered form that is supposed to remain more stable in the stomach. Sounds clever. But all forms result in exactly the same amount of creatine in your blood and muscles. The main difference is the price per gram. With this variant, you get 2,600 mg of creatine monohydrate per serving (one 3-gram scoop). This works out to 2,288 mg of creatine, as the water molecule is included in the weight.
A mild, tropical flavor for every day. This OstroVit mango creatine monohydrate is made for those who prefer to sip their scoop rather than quickly drink it down.
