Your advantage in training
-
Strength gain in training: In a meta-analysis of 69 studies with 1,937 participants, small but measurable gains were seen on average: around 5.6 kg more in the squat, around 1.4 kg more in the bench press or chest press, and around 1.5 cm more jump height. Not all exercises benefited equally; no effect was seen for grip strength and leg press.
-
Fat-free mass for beginners and experienced trainees: In a meta-analysis of 61 studies, both beginners and experienced trainees gained fat-free mass on average (around 1.4 kg overall) when creatine was added to strength training.
-
133 daily servings: At 3 capsules a day, 400 capsules make 133 servings of 3.3 g creatine each, more than the 3 g from which the authorised claim applies.
-
Large capsule, high dose: Each capsule contains 1,250 mg of micronised creatine monohydrate (1,100 mg creatine); the shell is made of gelatine.
What the research says: The meta-analyses examined creatine monohydrate in general, not any individual brand. The studies evaluated contain no comparison of capsules with powder. Women and older people were underrepresented in the studies; in them, the effects were smaller or not significant. In direct measurements of muscle thickness (MRI, CT, ultrasound), the additional effect was very small and not statistically certain. Dosage and intake schedule differed between the studies, in some cases with a loading phase. Meta-analyses show averages, not an individual result.
What's behind it
The capsules provide creatine monohydrate, a molecule that occurs naturally in the human body.
What creatine does
- Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine. The claim applies to adults over 18 years of age who perform high-intensity training.
How to use the 400-capsule tub
