Unique Advantages:
- Creatine is micronized, meaning it is ground into a finer powder. This supposedly makes it better absorbed.
Effectiveness
This creatine (like all other creatines) is needed for the following purposes:
- Increase in strength endurance. This means you will be able to lift the same weight for 1-3 more repetitions.
- Growth of muscle mass and strength (due to the increase in strength endurance).
- Water retention. Creatine retains 1-2 liters of water in the body. If you have joint problems, this can positively affect their condition – they will hurt less.
In addition to the above, it should be noted that the effect of using creatine does not occur immediately but rather after 7-10 days. During this time, it should accumulate in the muscles, which does not happen instantly. After discontinuation, the accumulated water is released within 2-3 days.
How to Take
Here are the main rules for taking:
- Regardless of the number of workouts, you need to take it every day.
- Take 1-2 times a day. Once in the first half of the day and once in the second. If the total dosage is less than 10 grams per day, you can take it all at once.
- It does not matter whether to take it before or after training/meal.
- It is better to mix with juice. Carbohydrates will aid in better creatine absorption. The amount of liquid is up to you.
- Creatine can be added to other sports nutrition. For example, to gainer or protein.
- To achieve effects, the duration of intake should be at least a month.
- The maximum duration of intake is unlimited. This means it can be used for a lifetime without breaks.
Total Daily Dosage:
- For weight up to 60 kg: 5-8 grams.
- For weight up to 80 kg: 8-10 grams.
- For weight up to 100 kg: 10-15 grams.
- For weight over 100 kg: 10-20 grams.
Naturally, all dosages are quite approximate. They largely depend on your overall activity, number of workouts, etc.
