Wellness Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate

Wellness Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate: 5 g per serving, 150 to 300 g

Wellness Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate is an unflavoured creatine monohydrate powder with a bilingual English and Arabic label. Each serving is 5 g, and it comes in a 300 g tub (60 servings), a 200 g tub (40 servings) or a 150 g pack (30 servings). Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise; the effect is seen with a daily intake of 3 g, and one serving gives more than that. It suits healthy adult lifters and team-sport players who want a plain, low-cost creatine to mix into water, juice or a shake, at about 11 EGP a serving.

What’s in a serving (5 g)

The label states it is free of hormones and stimulants.

Who it suits

• Budget creatine users: about 11 EGP a serving in the 300 g tub.
• Stacking: unflavoured, so it mixes into any drink or shake.

The label says it is for healthy adults who play sport, not for anyone under 18, and not for people with a kidney condition or another chronic health condition, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How do I take it?

The label says: mix 1 serving (5 g) in water or juice. Take it once a day, every day, including rest days; on training days, before or after your workout.

Does creatine cause water retention?

Creatine draws water into the muscles, so the scale can go up by a kilo or so in the first weeks. The label advises drinking plenty of water while you use it.

Who should not use it?

The label says it is for healthy adults who play sport, not for anyone under 18, and not for people with a kidney condition or another chronic health condition, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
