Here is ours: Creatine Monohydrate (Pure Unflavoured Creatine Powder, 500 g), made in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of creatine as a tiny, fast battery in the muscle, recharging the energy used in a heavy lift or a sprint. The authorised wording is precise, and we will use it exactly: \u003cstrong\u003ecreatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise\u003c\/strong\u003e - for adults doing that kind of exercise, at a daily intake of 3 grams. That is the claim, no more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy monohydrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are fancier-sounding forms on the market, but \u003cstrong\u003ecreatine monohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e is the one with decades of research behind it and the one every serious study uses. The exotic versions cost more and add nothing proven. We use plain monohydrate on purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe simple route: 3-5 grams a day, every day, stirred into water or a shake - timing barely matters, consistency does. Some people do a \"loading\" week of higher doses to fill the muscle faster; it is optional, not required. Creatine draws a little water into the muscle, so drink normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bottle, in your hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unflavoured monohydrate powder, one scoop a day. A food supplement, alongside training and a sensible diet - it supports the work, it does not replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest caveats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine is one of the best-tolerated supplements there is, but if you have kidney disease, talk to your doctor first, since the kidneys clear its by-product. Stay hydrated. It is for adults doing high-intensity exercise - it is not a general tonic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have read this far, thank you. A battery for the muscle, one real claim, and a plain page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Vitadefence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated reading:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/articles\/whey-vs-pea-protein\"\u003eWhey vs pea protein\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/articles\/krill-oil-and-omega-3\"\u003eKrill oil \u0026amp; omega-3\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitadefence®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57112211456380,"sku":"sku-51715749544202","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9317\/8236\/files\/RP_-_Creatine_v1_CMH500_3pp_-_Round_Pot_PONT1000SILVER__front.png?v=1782463488","url":"https:\/\/leanandhealthy.myshopify.com\/products\/creatine-monohydrate-500g","provider":"Lean \u0026 Healthy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
