Vitakruid Elite Creatine Complex D-Ribose, Q10 & Magn TropicCreatine is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. Our bodies can obtain creatine in two ways. Firstly, by producing it themselves from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. Secondly, by ingesting it through our diet. However, the amounts found in food are relatively low.
To put this into perspective: one standard scoop of Creatine from this supplement contains approximately 3 grams of creatine. To obtain the same amount from natural food sources, you would need to consume either 300 grams of herring or 700 grams of beef daily.

Mechanism of action of creatine
During high-intensity exercise, our bodies use ATP as an energy source. However, the ATP stores in our cells are limited and must be replenished quickly. The body's own creatine phosphate plays a role in ATP regeneration.
Our bodies naturally produce creatine phosphate, although research shows that we can increase muscle creatine phosphate stores by an average of 20% with creatine supplementation. This results in an improved ability to rapidly regenerate ATP during intense exercise, which, with 3 grams of creatine per day, already leads to increased strength and improved physical performance during short, high-intensity workouts.
Complex of high-quality nutrients
Elite Creatine complex combines micronized creatine monohydrate with minerals such as magnesium and iron, plus supporting substances such as CoQ10 and ribose. The addition of black pepper extract enhances the absorption of these nutrients, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Most absorbable form: creatine monohydrate
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 and utilized by the body.
Ultra-fine & pure powder
Our creatine powder is also extremely fine and pure. The product undergoes an advanced micronization process, where it is refined to a particle size of 200 mesh. This specification means that the powder is ground so finely that it can pass through a sieve with 200 openings per square inch.
This micronization not only guarantees the extreme fineness of the powder but also ensures a consistent particle size throughout the product. This results in a concentrated product that is easier to mix.
Neutral taste & good solubility
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.
Increased creatine absorption with fruit and protein
This is convenient because, according to scientific research, taking Creatine Monohydrate in combination with sugar- and/or protein-containing drinks can improve absorption. For example, take Elite Creatine Complex with a piece of fruit and a protein product.
Bioperine® ensures better absorption
Black pepper extract, standardized to piperine, is used in Elite Creatine Complex to improve the absorption and bioavailability of other nutrients. This ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed more effectively by the body, increasing the overall effectiveness of the supplement.

Ingredients
D-Ribose, Creatine (monohydrate), maltodextrin, Magnesium (malate), Q10 ubiquinone, Iron (biglycinate), citric acid (acidity regulator), malic acid (acidity regulator), tropical aroma (flavoring) Sodium (chloride), steviol glycosides from stevia (natural sweetener), Safflower extract (carthamus tinctorius), Black pepper extract (bioperine®), Chromium (picolinate).
Usage
Take 1 scoop of powder with a glass of 250 ml water or fruit juice daily. Supplement creatine daily, both on rest days and training days. The most important thing is to take your dose every day. On training days, we recommend using Elite Creatine before your workout (approx. 30-60 minutes). This is due to the presence of D-Ribose, a sugar (carbohydrate) that is quickly absorbed and provides immediate energy. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended due to the lack of sufficient research. Not suitable for children under 10 years of age.
Storage adviceStore dry, dark, and at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep out of reach and sight of young children.
