As the powder has no taste of its own, the manufacturer recommends mixing it into your favourite flavoured drink, smoothie or juice. The product contains no sweeteners, flavourings or colours. The tub holds 444 g of powder, which makes 60 scoops. The manufacturer and brand owner is Applied Nutrition; according to the EU label, the country of origin is the United Kingdom.

Creatine

A single scoop already covers the daily amount of creatine.

• Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine. One scoop (7.4 g) contains 5000 mg of creatine monohydrate. The product is intended for adults performing high-intensity exercise.

How to use?

Mix one scoop (7.4 g) of the unflavoured powder into your favourite drink, flavoured sports drink, smoothie or juice. Take 1–2 servings daily, ideally before and after your workout. Use only as directed. The scoop gives an approximate amount, so the manufacturer recommends weighing the powder for a more accurate dose.

Who is it for?

The product is intended for adults who train at high intensity, for example with short, repeated maximal-effort exercises, sprints or interval sessions, and who want to take creatine together with a plant protein hydrolysate in one powder. The unflavoured form suits those who prefer to add creatine to their usual drink without changing its taste. According to the EU label, the product must not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women, people under 18, people taking medication or people with a medical condition, and use should be stopped 2 weeks before planned surgery.

Micronised creatine and fava bean protein hydrolysate

Creatine monohydrate is the most widely used supplement form of creatine. Micronised means that the powder is very finely milled, so it mixes more evenly with liquid. PeptiStrong is a protein hydrolysate from fava beans (Vicia faba): during hydrolysis, the protein is broken down into smaller fragments called peptides. We describe this second ingredient only according to the composition and amount stated on the EU label. It is important to drink enough fluids while using creatine. The product is sold by weight, not by volume, so the powder may settle in the tub during transport. There are no allergens among the ingredients, but the product may contain traces of milk, egg, fish, wheat and soy.
