Vitals Creatine-CV powder 300 g

Creatine in powder form, flavorless, to stir into water or your shake. One of the few supplements where research has pointed in the same direction for decades.

Why it works

For short, powerful efforts, your muscles run on phosphocreatine. That supply is small and runs out after a few seconds, which is exactly why your fourth set feels heavier than your first. Creatine replenishes that supply faster.

Creatine increases physical performance during short, successive, high-intensity exercise. This effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 grams of creatine. A level scoop of approximately 3.4 grams provides exactly those 3 grams.

The tub contains Creavitalis, creatine monohydrate, and nothing else: no flavorings, no sweeteners, no fillers. The powder is neutral in taste and dissolves in water.

Why I chose this one

This is one I take myself every day. I'll tell you why exactly this one: it carries an NZVT certification, which means it is tested for banned substances. Even if you never compete, that says something about how strictly the contents of the tub are monitored. And it contains literally nothing other than creatine, which is less of a given for powders than you might think.

For whom

For anyone who does strength training or a sport involving short, explosive efforts. Even if you are just starting out: creatine is not just for advanced athletes. And for women too, as that is still the question I get asked most often.

How to use it

One to two level scoops per day, stirred into approximately 200 ml of water or your shake. Take it every day, even on days you don't train: creatine works through what is stored in your muscles, not a serving right before your workout. Give it a good stir, as it does not dissolve immediately.

What I'd like to pass on

Don't expect anything in the first week. Your muscles need to become saturated first, and at this dosage, that takes about three to four weeks. During that period, many people see their weight increase by half a kilo to a kilo and a half. That is water stored in the muscle, not fat. I always mention this, because it is exactly the reason why people stop after two weeks.

Drink enough water and put the tub somewhere you will see it every day. With creatine, consistency beats dosage.
