This is where you start. This OstroVit bag contains unflavored \u003cstrong\u003ecreatine monohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e and nothing else. Choose from 300, 500, or 1000 grams. A 3-gram serving provides 3000mg of creatine monohydrate. That gives you 100, 166, or 333 servings, so even with the smallest bag you have just over three months to get used to a daily scoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnflavored, with no additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is just one word long: creatine monohydrate. No flavoring, no sweetener, no acidity regulator. This means a 3-gram serving really does contain 3000mg of creatine monohydrate, whereas flavored versions provide slightly less per scoop. The powder has almost no taste. In pure water, you might taste a slightly sandy edge at most. That is why many people mix it into something they are already drinking, such as juice, a protein shake, or a smoothie. 300 grams will last you 100 days, 500 grams 166 days, and 1000 grams 333 days. Even the smallest bag lasts long enough to see if a set time each day suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat creatine is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine is a substance your body produces itself from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. Your liver and kidneys do most of the work. You also get creatine from meat and fish. About 95 percent is stored in your skeletal muscles, mostly as phosphocreatine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy monohydrate and not HCl or Kre-Alkalyn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine 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 smart. But exactly the same creatine ends up in your blood and muscles regardless of the form. The difference is mainly in the price per gram. With this variant, you get 3000mg of creatine monohydrate per serving (a 3-gram serving). That works out to 2640mg of creatine, because the water molecule is included in the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCreatine and water, what really happens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many stories about creatine, and the story about water is the best known. It is partly true. Creatine is osmotically active (it attracts water), so when your muscles store more creatine, they also pull in some extra water. That water is inside the muscle cell itself, not as a layer under your skin. On the scale, that can make a difference of half a kilo to a full kilo in the first few weeks. Someone who starts with a loading phase of 20 grams per day will see that faster than someone who immediately starts with a set daily serving. The image of a bloated feeling comes mainly from that loading phase. After a few weeks, your weight stabilizes. And if you stop, that extra water disappears again along with the creatine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ingredient, three sizes. Choose your size: 300 grams as a fair entry point, 500 or 1000 grams if you already know you will stick with it. This unflavored creatine monohydrate is for anyone who wants to know what they are taking, without flavorings around it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OstroVit","offers":[{"title":"Natural \/ 300 grams","offer_id":54816698270034,"sku":"OstroVit-010","price":10.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural \/ 500 grams","offer_id":54912259621202,"sku":"OstroVit-011","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural \/ 1000 grams","offer_id":54912259653970,"sku":"OstroVit-009","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/ostrovit-creatine-monohydraat-naturel-300-gram.jpg?v=1790167033","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/ostrovit-creatine-monohydraat-naturel","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
