Vitakruid Creatine monohydrate
Creatine in food
Creatine is a substance that occurs naturally in our body. We can partly obtain it from food, but our body can also produce it from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. The amounts that we find in food are relatively low. For comparison: 1 scoop of Creatine Monohydrate contains 3 grams of creatine. For this you would have to eat 300 grams of herring or 700 grams of beef every day.

Herring 6.5-10
Pig 5
Beef 4.5
Cod 3
Salmon 4.5
Tuna 4
Plaice fish 2
Milk 0.1

Mechanism of action of creatine
During high-intensity exercise, our body uses ATP as an energy source. However, the supply of ATP in our cells is limited and must be replenished quickly. Creatine phosphate plays a crucial role in the rapid regeneration of ATP.

Our own body produces creatine phosphate, although research shows that we can increase the creatine phosphate supply in the muscles by an average of 20% with creatine supplementation. This increased supply ensures more muscle strength during physical exertion.

Extremely fine & pure powder (100% pure)
Research shows that creatine monohydrate is the best form of creatine. In this form, each creatine molecule is bound to a water molecule, making this form more stable. In addition, this form is highly soluble and can be easily absorbed by the body.

Micronized to 200 mesh
Our creatine powder is extremely fine and pure, it is micronized to a particle size of 200 mesh. This means that the powder is made so fine that it fits through a special sieve, a so-called “200 mesh” sieve. This term indicates that the sieve has 200 openings per square inch. In addition to the fact that we know that the powder has become really fine, it also ensures that the powder has a consistent particle size. This gives us a concentrated product that is easier to mix.

Neutral taste & easily soluble
Because Creatine Monohydrate is a fine powder, it has a neutral taste and dissolves easily. This makes it easy to mix with water, fruit juice or other drinks. This is convenient, because when you take Creatine Monohydrate in combination with sugary and/or protein-containing drinks, it can improve absorption.

Better absorption with proteins and sugars
Research suggests that creatine is absorbed more efficiently when you take it with sugars. This is likely due to insulin, a substance your body produces when you eat sugars and proteins. Insulin allows our cells to absorb sugars from our blood, but it also appears to improve the absorption of creatine.

However, to improve absorption, a fairly large amount of sugar was needed. A study therefore looked at whether the sugar could be partly replaced by proteins. They found that the retention of creatine in the body also increased when part of the sugar was replaced by proteins.
We therefore recommend taking creatine in combination with proteins and/or sugars. For example, take creatine with a piece of fruit and/or a protein powder product.
