Sports Fuel Creatine Powder Monohydrate - 1kg

Creatine Monohydrate is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells that helps produce energy during high-intensity exercise. Supplementing with it increases muscle creatine stores, enhancing performance, strength, and muscle growth.

The recommended dosage is one 5g scoop per day. Consistency is more important than timing, so take it daily, even on rest days, to maintain muscle saturation.

While some research suggests benefits around workout times (pre or post), the most crucial factor is consistent daily intake to keep muscle creatine stores saturated. You can take it at any time of day that fits your routine.

A loading phase (e.g., 20g/day for 5-7 days) can saturate muscles faster, but it's not strictly necessary. A consistent daily dose of 5g will achieve similar results over 3-4 weeks without the potential for initial discomfort.

Yes, Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched and safe supplements available. Sports Fuel's product is produced in certified UK facilities and tested for banned substances. Always ensure adequate hydration when using creatine.

Micronised creatine has been processed to reduce the particle size of the powder. This improves solubility, making it easier to mix in liquids and potentially reducing digestive discomfort sometimes associated with coarser creatine powders.

With a recommended daily serving of 5g, a 1kg pack (1000g) will provide 200 servings. This means one pack will last approximately 200 days, or over six months, with consistent daily use.

While creatine is stable in warm water, it's generally best mixed with cold or room-temperature liquids to maintain its integrity and ensure it dissolves well without clumping.

Ensure you are using sufficient liquid (200-300ml per 5g scoop). Try mixing in slightly warmer water or using a blender bottle with a mixing ball. Stir vigorously for a longer duration. Micronised creatine dissolves better but may still require thorough mixing.

Creatine requires consistent daily intake to saturate muscle stores; effects typically become noticeable after 1-2 weeks of daily use. Ensure you're taking 5g daily, staying well-hydrated, and maintaining a consistent training and nutrition regimen. Individual responses to creatine can also vary.

This can sometimes occur if creatine isn't fully dissolved or if taken on an empty stomach. Try mixing your dose with a meal, ensuring it's completely dissolved, and increasing your daily water intake. Splitting your daily 5g dose into two smaller doses (e.g., 2.5g twice a day) might also help.
