OstroVit Orange-Flavoured Creatine Monohydrate
A glass of orange squash after training. That's what this creatine monohydrate from OstroVit tastes like with its orange flavour. One 3-gram scoop contains 2600 mg of creatine monohydrate and dissolves in water or juice. The 500-gram bag provides 166 servings, enough for a fresh scoop every day for well over five months.
Orange: familiar and refreshing
Orange is a flavour that almost everyone knows and few people dislike. That makes it a safe choice if you're not sure which flavour you want. OstroVit uses an orange flavouring, citric acid for freshness, and the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K. Dissolve one scoop in 100 to 150 ml of water. Adding real orange juice gives the flavour more body, while water alone keeps it light. The label recommends taking one serving after waking up or after training on training days, and after waking up on rest days. Stir well and drink immediately. Creatine does not dissolve completely and will otherwise settle at the bottom of your glass.
What creatine is
Creatine is a substance that your body produces itself from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. You also get it from your diet, especially from meat and fish. In your muscles, creatine is stored mainly as phosphocreatine. Creatine has been in the sports bag of many strength athletes since the 1990s.
Creatine monohydrate
On the shelf you'll find creatine in all sorts of forms: HCl, ethyl ester, buffered (Kre-Alkalyn), or nitrate. This bag contains creatine monohydrate. That is creatine bonded to one water molecule, a stable and widely used form. On the label you'll see two numbers. One 3-gram scoop provides 2600 mg of creatine monohydrate, of which 2288 mg is pure creatine. The rest is the water molecule. That 88 per cent ratio applies to all monohydrates, including other brands.
What creatine is not
Creatine is still sometimes lumped in with anabolic steroids or stimulants. That's not true. It is not a hormone and it is not on the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) banned list. It is also not a stimulant like caffeine, so you won't feel a kick or a boost after taking it. Creatine is a nutrient found in every steak and every herring, just in smaller amounts. In short: it is not a miracle cure or a kick, but a substance your body already knows.
Familiar flavour, simple routine. With this OstroVit orange-flavoured creatine monohydrate, you turn your daily scoop into a glass you'll enjoy drinking down.
