Vitakruid Creatine Monohydrate micronized to 200 mesh Creatine in food
Creatine is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies. We can obtain some of it from food, but our bodies can also synthesize it from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. The amounts found in food are relatively low. For comparison, one scoop of Creatine Monohydrate contains 3 grams of creatine. To achieve this, you would need to eat 300 grams of herring or 700 grams of beef every day.

Mechanism of action of creatine
During high-intensity exercise, our body uses ATP as an energy source. However, the ATP stores in our cells are limited and must be replenished quickly. Creatine phosphate plays a crucial role in the rapid regeneration of ATP.
Our bodies naturally produce creatine phosphate, although research shows that we can increase our muscle creatine phosphate stores by an average of 20% with creatine supplementation. This increased store leads to greater 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 it more stable. It is also highly soluble and easily absorbed by the body.
Micronized to 200 mesh
Our creatine powder is extremely fine and pure, micronized to a particle size of 200 mesh. This means 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. Besides ensuring that the powder is truly fine, it also ensures that the powder has a consistent particle size. This results in 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 beverages. This is beneficial, because taking creatine monohydrate with sugary and/or protein-containing drinks can improve its absorption.
Better absorption with proteins and sugars
Research suggests that creatine is absorbed more efficiently when taken 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 creatine absorption.
However, to improve absorption, a relatively large amount of sugar was needed. A study therefore investigated whether some of the sugar could be replaced by protein. They found that creatine retention in the body also increased when some of the sugar was replaced by protein.
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.
