German Elite Nutrition Creatin Monohydrat Powder, 100% Pure, 1000g

Creatine monohydrate

Hardly any athlete is unfamiliar with it, and virtually everyone, whether strength athletes, bodybuilders, sprinters, endurance athletes, or many others, has taken it. It's safe to say that creatine monohydrate is one of the longest-standing supplements on the market and is still indispensable, regardless of the sport.

What is creatine (monohydrate) actually?

Creatine monohydrate is a substance/acid naturally occurring in the body that serves as an energy store. More than 90% of it is found in skeletal muscle and muscle cells. It is produced in the human body in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. It is also arguably one of the safest and most harmless supplements for performance enhancement.

Non-vegan athletes primarily consume creatine through their diet, particularly meat and fish, as these contain large amounts of creatine (2-7g per kg of food). Moderate amounts are found in cow's milk and breast milk, while fruits and vegetables contain only small traces of creatine.

Pure creatine monohydrate is ALWAYS produced through a chemical synthesis process and is therefore 100% vegan and free from animal ingredients.

Highlights at a glance:

• Each can contains 300g of pure creatine monohydrate powder. 60 servings of 5g of creatine monohydrate each. Our creatine has a mesh factor of 200, making it particularly fine and easily absorbed by the body.
• For an ideal creatine regimen, we recommend 5 g of creatine monohydrate daily. A daily serving of 5 g of creatine monohydrate contains 4.4 g of pure creatine. Our pure creatine has perfect solubility. The included scoop allows for easy and precise dosing.
• Creatine combines excellently with other amino acids such as L-citrulline, L-glutamine, taurine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine & AAKG.

Proven effectiveness!

Creatine is probably one of the few dietary supplements whose effectiveness has been confirmed by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). In technical terms, it looks like this:  When administered in a dose of at least 3g per day, creatine increases physical performance during explosive strength training during short-term, intensive physical exertion!

It's also important to note that creatine isn't a supplement that you can take just like that! The idea behind adding creatine is to increase blood creatine levels over the long term, which requires that you take creatine consistently over an extended period of time.

GEN-Nutrition Creatine with Mesh Factor 200!

We, the team at GEN Nutrition, only use powders with a mesh factor of 200 for our creatine monohydrate! The mesh or mesh factor indicates how finely a powder is ground. The finer the powder, the better it can be absorbed by the body. A mesh factor of 200 is considered the highest or finest a creatine powder can have!

What is the best way to take creatine?

Opinions differ here, and everyone will tell you something different. What we can say from our own experience is that the principle of the loading phase is long outdated and no longer provides any benefit. For this reason, creatine should always be taken shortly before and/or after a workout, in conjunction with a carbohydrate-rich drink like fruit juice or a post-/pre-workout shake. On days when you're not exercising, it's best to take creatine in the morning on an empty stomach, as this is when your body is most receptive.
