Active Ingredients
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is a natural organic acid.
It works by increasing the production of ATP energy in muscle. This can result in increases of both power output and endurance (1, 2).
Supplementing with Creatine allows the consumption of greater amounts than possible from whole foods, which maximises benefits.
Creatine Monohydrate is currently the most researched and cost-effective form of Creatine available. The effective dose is about 3-5g daily.
Who Takes It?
Athletes wishing to improve their strength and endurance will benefit from Vital Strength Pure Creatine.
How to Take
Mix 1 scoop (3g) with 250mL water and consume with a high-carb meal, daily.
Side Effects
Creatine can cause extra water retention in muscle, resulting in the water weight gain.
A healthy bodyweight increase of around 2-3kg is not uncommon.
Stomach cramping may occur if Creatine is taken without sufficient water.
If an excessive amount of Creatine is supplemented at once, it can cause nausea or diarrhoea.
Pros
- The most researched form of Creatine is used (Monohydrate)
- Australian.
Cons
- Pure Creatine is unflavoured, so may have a slightly unpleasant or bland taste
- Each serve is only 3 grams.
Conclusion
Pure Creatine provides exactly what it says – pure Creatine Monohydrate.
Scoop size of 3 grams is small, so you actually need to use a heaped teaspoon to get the desired 5 grams per dose.
Overall it does what it says, and it’s Australian so we give it the thumbs up.
