Hello, I would like to ask if the body can get used to taking creatine like caffeine? If so, I would like to know for how long to discontinue Creatine. Thank you for your answer.
Good will you ever have flavored versions of creatine available again?
Hello, we have ordered Myprotein Creatine Monohydrate from you 3 times already. The first time I had it it looked almost like a protein, but the second time I ordered it it looked crystalline like salt or something. And well, the third time around, it looked the same as the first time I had it. So I was wondering if they make more variants or where the problem happened? Thank you for the answer.
Hello Michal, this difference may be due to Myprotein using different suppliers, where the consistency of the raw material may vary slightly. However, in any case you do not have to worry that the product has different properties or composition than the manufacturer declares. However, if you want to be sure that you are consistently getting the highest quality creatine monohydrate on the market, choose products containing the patented CREAPURE trademark, which guarantees this standard. Specific products may include: https://aktin.cz/sizeandsymmetry-nutrition-creatine-creapure. Have a nice day.
Hello, I would like to ask you a few questions about the product. I don't have any experience with creatine yet, but I would like to try it.
Can it be used together with a kicker and a fat burner?
If I take it until I run out and then take a break what will be the impact on my body? Does it have to be taken regularly or can there be a break of up to a month?
Is there any difference between the dosage for women and men?
Thank you in advance for your answer, have a nice day:-)
Hello, Vlasta,
creatine is the body's own substance. By supplementing it, we will further increase its concentration in muscle and other cells, thus increasing strength and the ability to train with slightly higher weights, which can have a positive effect on muscle growth. It also appears that creatine can improve recovery, improve the environment in muscle cells for their growth, etc. The increased amount of creatine in the muscles will bind a certain amount of water to itself, so there is a possibility of about a 1kg increase in body weight when taking creatine. When creatine is discontinued, this water will drain away. The combination with a kicker and fat burner is fine, however you need to think whether creatine makes any sense for you. Creatine is recommended to be dosed after exercise, as it appears that the muscles can absorb this creatine a little better than when supplementing before training. The effect of creatine on strength is not acute, but begins gradually as its concentration in the muscles slowly increases. There are two approaches to creatine supplementation. One involves a saturation+maintenance phase and the other is the less radical approach I would recommend, which is about taking 5g of creatine after strength training. After some time (a few weeks) your strength will start to increase as the concentration of creatine in your muscles will start to increase and it will start to show in your strength, maybe even your weight will go up a little bit and your muscles will be fuller. You don't have to stop taking creatine, it's up to you, however, usually after some time (usually finishing a pack) it is discontinued. For a healthy person, long term supplementation (years) of creatine is perfectly safe.
However, I would not recommend creatine for people who have heart or kidney disease.
Taking it can slightly increase the creatinine concentration in the blood, so if you go for a blood test, please inform your doctor about this use. Have a nice day
Hello, I have a few questions about Myprotein Creatine Monohydrate.
1. How exactly does creatine work? Is it true that it hydrates the muscles?
2. What happens if I stop taking it?
3. And does it have any negative effects if someone doesn't follow the diet,exercise or just in general?
Thank you very much for the answers.
Hello Michal, the primary purpose of creatine is to increase energy levels through increased production of the main energy molecule in the body, ATP. Other effects include hydration, which then contributes to the increase in volume, so hydration of the muscle is definitely a true statement and desirable for many exercisers. When you stop taking creatine, the water retention drops and therefore the muscle loses volume but the solid muscle mass without water content will of course not go anywhere. Negative effects can occur with excessive dosage or kidney disease, otherwise creatine should be harmless. Have a nice day.
It says 5g per dose.
And how many ml?
Hello, I would like to ask if the unflavoured version will be in stock at the time of the special price, thank you
Hello, regarding the tablets, the dosage I understand, 5 tablets, but on the day of the workout all before or 2 before and 3 after? Thank you for the information, what is the best way.
Hi I wanted to ask how to dose it to make it work as it should I go to workout 3* a week thanks for the answer.
Hello, I recommend the following protocol: for the first 10 days 4x5g per day in the morning, one hour before training, immediately after training and in the evening, always on an empty stomach. Then for the next 20 days, take 2x5g per day either an hour before training and immediately after training or in the morning and evening between meals. Have a nice day.
