PRODUCTS Creatine

Creatine has been shown to increase physical performance during short-term, intensive physical exertion (e.g. strength training, sprinting etc.). Available as 100% pure, tasteless powder CREATINE MONOHYDRATE, as «performance complex» CREATINE PYRUMAX, which additionally contains molecularly bound creatine pyruvate and magnesium (capsules), or as HMB & Creatine Synergy, which combines creatine monohydrate with HMB.

Creatine is listed by internationally renowned institutions from sports and nutrition science (Swiss Sports Nutrition Society, Australian Institute of Sport) as a so-called A-supplement with the highest effectiveness.

Pure creatine powder and creatine in capsules from SPONSER

Creatine is listed by internationally recognised sports and nutrition science committees (Swiss Sports Nutrition Society, Australian Institute of Sport) as a so-called A-supplement with the highest level of efficacy. It can be absorbed both through food, by eating meat and fish, and through food supplements. SPONSER creatine is available in three versions: as pure CREATINE MONOHYDRATE powder made from 100% pure, high-quality Creapure® with no by-products or impurities. As performance complex CREATINE PYRUMAX in capsules, which has been supplemented with molecularly bonded creatine pyruvate and magnesium. As high-performance supplement HMB & CREATINE SYNERGY, which is a combination of creatine, HMB and ribose and aims to support muscle building and regeneration by promoting protein synthesis. Creatine products from SPONSER are based on scientific findings regarding the ingredients. They are tested in practice with athletes to ensure the highest quality and effectiveness.

Creatine for recovery and muscle building

While creatine supplementation can increase the body's ATP stores and thus increase performance during intensive units, creatine supports recovery and muscle building during the regeneration phase, as the body absorbs nutrients particularly well after training. On non-workout days, creatine can be taken at any time of day to maintain creatine levels. In addition, creatine promotes an increase in muscle mass by supporting protein synthesis and increasing the hydration of muscle cells. This also leads to faster recovery after intense workouts. After long breaks from training (e.g. due to injury), creatine can help to rebuild muscle strength and muscle mass more quickly.

FAQs on taking creatine supplements and side effects

Creatine monohydrate is considered to be very safe. The most common side effects include gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhoea, nausea and bloating. However, experience shows that this only occurs at very high dosages. In addition, creatine causes an increase in the muscle cell volume due to water retention, which is indeed necessary for creatine to work. To avoid possible side effects, do not exceed the recommended dosage and make sure you drink enough fluids.
For effective storage and optimal results, creatine should be taken for several weeks. We recommend taking pure creatine in the form of CREATINE MONOHYDRATE in certain stages, but also to stop taking it afterwards for several weeks at a time. The effect of creatine varies from person to person. While some respond very significantly to the supplementation as support for muscle building, around a third of all athletes show hardly any reaction to creatine («non-responders»). For these athletes, we recommend the use of the creatine capsules CREATINE PYRUMAX, which are formulated with the more soluble and therefore more easily absorbable creatine pyruvate.
Supplementation with creatine is divided into three phases: loading, maintenance and discontinuation. There are two different application principles. Both principles lead equally to maximum creatine levels in the muscles, although this is achieved more quickly with fast loading than with slow- loading. Taking creatine after a workout or combining it with carbohydrates improves its absorption in the body and in the muscle cells. Fast load: 0.3 g creatine per kg body weight in 3–4 doses spread over the day for 5 days. Slow load: 3–5 g creatine per day in 1–2 portions for about 4 weeks.
A maintenance phase should be sustained for both Slow Load and Fast Load. During this time, creatine is taken daily in 1–2 doses of 3 g for at least 4–24 weeks. This is followed by a discontinuation phase (identical for Slow Load and Fast Load) of at least 4 weeks or longer, adapted to the individual training and seasonal planning.
The optimal time for creatine intake is controversial, but there are some recommendations based on scientific research. Many experts advise taking creatine either shortly before or immediately after training. During these phases, the body absorbs creatine and other nutrients particularly well, and the creatine stores in the muscles can be replenished more efficiently.
Both the creatine powder CREATINE MONOHYDRATE and the CREATINE PYRUMAX capsules and the HMB & CREATINE SYNERGY supplement are 100% vegan, so they are suitable for plant-based sports nutrition.
