100% pure creatine monohydrate powder

Along with protein, creatine is one of the most popular dietary supplements for muscle building. With a creatine cure, physical performance is increased during the muscle building phase. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep away from children! The fine-grained creatine is almost tasteless and can easily be stirred into protein and weight gainer shakes.

Creatine - the power buffer as an ultra-fine powder

Creatine has a property that is particularly outstanding for athletes. It increases physical performance during explosive strength training as part of short-term intensive physical activity. This effect, which is also officially recognized as a health claim, is based on the fact that creatine, which is made up of arginine, glycine and methionine but is not an amino acid itself, has a sort of buffer function when providing energy. In the event of a short-term very high requirement, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) jumps in here for a few seconds. However, before the breakdown of the polysaccharide glycogen can begin, the stored creatine is used for around a minute.

creatine in food

Creatine is considered non-essential. Provided the starting materials are available, the organism can produce it itself. Any additional demand is best covered with unprocessed meat and fish. Milk and most meat products, on the other hand, only contain very small amounts of creatine. One possibility of supplementation is the supply of creatine powder. Multi-Food Creatine is available in an extremely pure, high-quality form. Particularly interesting for vegetarians and vegans: The creatine powder is not only free of additives and lactose, but also vegan. It also has an extremely fine consistency. The grain size is a tiny 200 mesh, which is less than 0.1 millimeters in diameter.

Creatine goes well with grape juice and weight gainer shakes

An important prerequisite for the mentioned effect to occur is that three grams of creatine are consumed daily. Here, studies show that this is best done pre-workout and along with carbs (1), (2). So there are more than just taste arguments for stirring the creatine powder into grape juice, for example. Another way to take the fine-grained, almost tasteless powder with a good portion of energy is to add it to a rich weight gainer shake.
