Vitakruid Elite Creatine Complex D-Ribose, Q10 & Magnesium 261 Grams

Vitakruid Elite Creatine Complex D-Ribose, Q10 & Magnesium

Creatine 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 absorbing it from our diet. However, the amounts we find 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 get the same amount from natural food sources, you would have to consume either 300 grams of herring or 700 grams of beef daily.

Herring 6.5-10
Pork 5
Beef 4.5
Cod 3
Salmon 4.5

Mechanism of action of creatine
During high-intensity exercise, our bodies use ATP as an energy source. However, the ATP supply in our cells is limited and needs to be replenished quickly. The body's own creatine phosphate plays a role in ATP regeneration.

Our body naturally produces creatine phosphate, although research shows that we can increase the creatine phosphate stores in our muscles 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 supportive 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. Additionally, this form is highly soluble and can be easily absorbed and utilized by the body.

Ultrafine & pure powder
Our creatine powder is also extremely fine and pure. The product undergoes an advanced micronization process, refining it to a particle size of 200 mesh. This specification means that the powder is so finely ground 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 gives us 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 drinks.

Increased creatine absorption with fruit and protein
That's good news, 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, which increases the overall effectiveness of the supplement.
