Vitakruid Elite Creatine Complex D-Ribose, Q10 & Magnesium

Vitakruid Elite Creatine Complex D-Ribose, Q10 & Magnesium
Creatine is a naturally occurring substance in our body. Our body can obtain creatine in two ways. On one hand, by producing it from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. On the other hand, by absorbing it from our diet. However, the amounts we find in food are relatively low.

To put this into perspective: one standard scoop of Creatine from this supplement contains about 3 grams of creatine. To obtain the same amount from natural food sources, you would need to consume either 300 grams of herring or 700 grams of beef daily.

Mechanism of action of creatine
During high-intensity exercises, our body uses ATP as an energy source. However, the supply of ATP in our cells is limited and needs to be replenished quickly. The body's own creatine phosphate plays a role in the regeneration of ATP.

Our body naturally produces creatine phosphate, but research shows that we can increase the creatine phosphate stores in the muscles by an average of 20% with creatine supplementation. This results in an improved ability to quickly regenerate ATP during intense exercises, which at 3 grams of creatine per day already leads to increased strength and improved physical performance in short, high-intensity training.

Complex of high-quality nutrients
Elite Creatine complex combines micronized creatine monohydrate with minerals such as magnesium and iron, plus supportive substances like CoQ10 and ribose. The addition of black pepper extract increases the absorption of these nutrients, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Best absorbable form: creatine monohydrate
Research shows that creatine monohydrate is the best form of creatine. In this form, each creatine molecule is bound to a water molecule, making this form more stable. Additionally, this form is well soluble and can be easily absorbed and utilized by the body.

Ultrafine & pure powder
Our creatine powder is also extremely fine and pure. The product undergoes an advanced micronization process, refining it to a particle size of 200 mesh. This specification means that the powder is ground so finely that it can pass through a sieve with 200 openings per square inch.

This micronization not only guarantees the extreme fineness of the powder but also ensures a consistent particle size throughout the product. As a result, we have a concentrated product that is easier to mix.

Neutral taste & good solubility
Since Creatine Monohydrate is a fine powder, it has a neutral taste and dissolves easily. This makes it easy to mix with water, fruit juice, or other drinks.

Increased absorption of creatine with fruit and proteins
This is convenient because when you take Creatine Monohydrate in combination with sugar and/or protein-containing drinks, scientific research shows that it can improve absorption. For example, take Elite Creatine Complex with a piece of fruit and a protein product.

Bioperine® ensures better absorption
We use black pepper extract, standardized on piperine, in Elite Creatine Complex to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of other nutrients. This ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed more effectively by the body, increasing the overall effectiveness of the supplement.
