FAQs
What is Creapure®?
Creapure® is a trademarked form of creatine monohydrate produced by AlzChem in Germany. It is renowned for its exceptional purity (99.99%), safety, and effectiveness, making it the gold standard in creatine supplements.
How does creatine monohydrate work?
Creatine monohydrate increases the body's stores of phosphocreatine, which helps to rapidly regenerate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of cells. This enhanced energy availability supports short bursts of maximal physical effort.
Who should take MyProtein Creapure Creatine Monohydrate?
It is recommended for athletes and individuals engaged in high-intensity, explosive activities such as weightlifting, sprinting, and team sports that involve frequent bursts of speed and power.
Do I need to 'load' creatine?
While some protocols involve a loading phase (higher doses for 5-7 days), it is not strictly necessary. Consuming 3-5g daily will saturate your muscles over time (approx. 3-4 weeks). The stick packs are designed for convenient daily dosing.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
Yes, creatine monohydrate is a synthetic compound and is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets.
Can I mix this with my protein shake?
Yes, the unflavoured creatine can be easily mixed into your protein shake or any other preferred beverage.
What is the recommended daily dosage?
The standard recommended daily dosage is 3-5g of creatine monohydrate. Each stick pack contains 5g, making it a convenient single serving.
Troubleshooting
Creatine not dissolving completely
Ensure you are using sufficient liquid (200-300ml) and stirring or shaking vigorously until dissolved. Allowing it to sit for a minute or two can also help.
Mild stomach discomfort
Ensure adequate hydration throughout the day. If discomfort persists, try taking the creatine with a meal or slightly reducing the dosage temporarily. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended serving.
Product appears clumpy in the packet
This can sometimes occur due to humidity. Ensure the product has been stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Check the expiry date. If the product is within date and properly stored, it should still be effective.
