Creatine is one of the few supplements that is actually scientifically proven to work. Maxim Creatin has 100% pure creatine monohydrate It is not mentioned on the WADA prohibited list and does not seem to have any damaging side effects. Creatine is an amino acid that is mainly present in animal-derived food, like meat and fish. The average daily intake of creatine is around 1 gram per day. The need, however, is around 2 grams per day. Your own body produces creatine to reach that need. Creatine phosphate is present in your muscle cells. If you start using creatine, your muscle stock of creatine will be increased. This will enhance time to exhaustion, which can be very useful in sprints. Creatine also ensures better recovery between short, explosive exercise; this makes it very useful in interval sports like socker, volleyball, track cycling. Power training can also be considered as interval sports where creatine suppletion is useful. It is flavourless, thus easy to mix in carbohydrate-containing liquids. Suitable for vegetarians to enhance daily creatine intake.
This supplement contains 600g creatine monohydrate.

Creatine can be used by starting with a loading period which will be followed by a maintenance period. If you want a personal plan, we advise to contact your sports nutritionist or sports physician. Loading period:
Option 1: 0,2 - 0,3 g per kg bodyweight totally per day, at 3-8 doses a day, for 4-6 days
Option 2: 0,05 g per kg bodyweight totally per day, at 1-2 doses per day, preferably after training, for 30 days. Maintenance period
0,03g per kg body weight per day, at 1-2 doses per day. The timeframe depends on exercise schedule.
We recommend to combine creatine intake with a carbohydrate rich drink like Maxim Energy Drink, juice, etc. Use 1 gram per 100 ml liquid. Do not put it in carbonized drinks! Be aware that taking creatine enhances your bodyweight! This can be 1-2 kg in the loadig period. The extra creatine that your are taking up in your muscles is accompanied by water. This weight gain seems to occur more when using the fast loading method. Using option 2 seldomly leads to weight gain. Very often you lose the weight again during your maintenance period. Note: After your loading and maintenance period you should take a break. This ensures that your suppressed creatine production in your body will go back to normal levels again. The concentration of creatine in your muscles will reach the old value before suppletion within 3-4 weeks.
