Geschatte leestijd: 3minutenIf you’ve been active in the fitness, strength training, or perhaps other sports for a while, chances are you’ve heard of the dietary supplement creatine. Creatine has gained popularity over the years, mainly among strength athletes. In short: through creatine supplementation, the energy in muscles increases, allowing for increased strength and muscle size.
There are different types and forms of creatine available. It’s available in powder form, liquid form, and tablet form. Body en Fitshop recently launched their own Creapure Tasty Tabs: creatine in candy form, where each tab contains 1 gram of pure CreaPure creatine.
The positive effect of creatine translates into more energy in the muscles. Creatine is a naturally occurring substance that is also found in foods like meat, albeit in a lower amount than in many supplements. One kilogram of steak contains about between 4 and 5 grams of creatine. Creatine is part of creatine phosphate, the energy-rich substance responsible for the formation of ATP. When creatine is absorbed by the muscle cells, it can increase the energy supply of ATP during active strength efforts. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. The energy provided by ATP is released when one of the three phosphate groups of ATP is split off. Adenosine triphosphate thus changes into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and one loose phosphate group. The energy released can be used for muscle contraction, but only for a few seconds because the amount of ATP in the muscles is limited. Therefore, creatine as a supplement ensures that more creatine phosphate is available to make ATP again, thereby providing more energy.
Creapure Creatine
In the introduction, we already mentioned that the popularity of creatine has increased enormously in recent years. This has led to various types and forms of creatine being introduced to the market. The producer of CreaPure, the Germany-based AlzChem Trostberg GmbH, guarantees that they have the purest creatine in the world. They claim to see differences in the types of creatine offered on the market. Therefore, they subject their products to purity tests, and only purity above 99.95% with minimal impurities (such as creatinine) may bear the name Creapure. AlzChem is the only company allowed to use the name CreaPure as they have patented this name.
Dosage
We have written several articles about the dosage and intake of creatine. For example, we have previously written about the necessity of a loading phase with creatine. In our conclusion, we could state that a loading phase is not necessary, but it could lead to reaching maximum storage earlier. Without a loading phase, it would take longer. The amount of creatine you should dose per day is about 2 to 3 grams, according to our same article.
CreaPure Tasty Tabs
The CreaPure Tasty Tabs contain the purest form of creatine. In addition to creapure, each tablet consists of dextrose, which can enhance the absorbability of this supplement. When we look at the research from our previously published article about the loading phase with creatine, we could suggest that you should have enough with 2 tablets of CreaPure Tasty Tabs per day. Body en Fitshop recommends 3 per day. The tabs taste great: nice and fresh and fruity. The taste of dextrose predominates. However, it’s not unpleasant in taste, and the taste of creatine is barely noticeable. At a price of only 12.50 euros for 180 tabs, this supplement is very competitively priced. Of the 180 tabs, unfortunately, a few were crumbled or broken in half. Not that it’s a big deal since it was only a single tab, but if we have to mention a downside, this is one.
Conclusion: CreaPure Tasty Tabs
One of the most effective supplements for strength and endurance has always had a less practical aspect: intake. To reach your daily recommended amount of creatine, you had to plan and dose the supplementation carefully. Every athlete who uses creatine knows the qu
izzical look from his or her colleague when pulling out this white powder supplement. Body en Fitshop solves this with their CreaPure Tabs. Not only in terms of dosage but also in terms of transportation, this is simply a great supplement. In addition to the qualitative aspects and the financial aspects, B&F has chosen the purest form of creatine on the market with dextrose as an addition to promote absorbability.
