Applied Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate Unflavoured 250g

Creatine Monohydrate is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells that helps produce energy during high-intensity exercise. It is one of the most researched supplements for improving athletic performance.

A common dosage is 5g per day. Some protocols suggest a loading phase of 20g per day for the first 5-7 days, followed by a maintenance phase of 3-5g per day. However, consistent daily intake of 3-5g without a loading phase is also effective.

The timing is flexible, but many find it beneficial to take it post-workout, alongside carbohydrates and protein, to aid absorption and recovery. Taking it at any consistent time daily is key for efficacy.

Cycling creatine is generally not considered necessary for most individuals using standard doses. Continuous daily use of 3-5g is typically recommended for sustained benefits.

Applied Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate is typically vegan-friendly as it is synthesized and does not contain animal products. Always check the product packaging for specific dietary certifications.

Micronised means the creatine particles have been broken down into smaller sizes. This results in a finer powder that dissolves more easily in liquids and may improve absorption in the body.

At a standard daily dose of 5g, a 250g tub will last approximately 50 days (250g / 5g per day = 50 days).

Ensure you are using sufficient liquid (200-300ml) and stirring vigorously until fully dissolved. Micronised creatine should mix easily; if clumping persists, try mixing with warm water first.

Try taking the creatine with a larger amount of fluid or consume it with a meal rather than on an empty stomach. If discomfort persists, reduce the dosage or consult a healthcare professional.

Creatine effects can take time to manifest. Ensure consistent daily intake for at least 2-4 weeks. Also, verify that your training regimen and diet are optimized to support your performance goals.
