NOW SPORTS MICRONIZED CREATINE MONOHYDRATE 119 Servings (0.5KG)

NOW Sports Creatine: pure micronised creatine monohydrate, 4.2 g per serving

NOW Sports Micronized Creatine Monohydrate is an unflavoured creatine powder with one ingredient: creatine monohydrate. A serving of 1½ level teaspoons gives about 4.2 g, and the 500 g tub holds about 119 servings. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, with the effect seen from 3 g a day. Because it has no flavour or sweetener, NOW creatine mixes into water, juice or your protein shake without changing the taste. It is packed in the USA by NOW Foods, a family-owned company since 1968.

NOW Sports creatine questions

How much creatine is in one serving?

One serving is 1½ level teaspoons (about 4.2 g) of creatine monohydrate. The 500 g tub gives about 119 servings.

Does NOW creatine have any other ingredients?

No. The label lists creatine monohydrate as the only ingredient: no flavour, sweetener or additives. NOW states it is not made with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients.

Do I need a loading phase?

No. A daily serving is enough: creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, with the effect seen from 3 g a day. Some people load for faster saturation, but a steady daily dose reaches the same point within a few weeks.

When should I take it?

Any time of day, every day, including rest days. Many people add it to their post-workout shake. Drink enough water through the day.

Why is it ‘micronised’?

Micronised creatine is milled into finer particles, so it mixes more easily into water, juice or a shake and leaves less grit at the bottom of the glass. 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.
