The other gram of the scoop is flavour and balance: natural fruit punch flavour, stevia leaf extract for sweetness, citric acid for a tart edge, and a little sodium chloride. There is no sugar on the ingredient list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow creatine works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour body makes creatine from amino acids and stores most of it in muscle as phosphocreatine. Muscle cells draw on that reserve during short, hard efforts such as a heavy lift or a sprint. A daily dose keeps the store topped up. Creatine monohydrate is the form used in most of the research on creatine, which makes it one of the most studied ingredients in sports nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavoured or unflavoured?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the unflavoured 500 g tub if you add creatine to a protein shake or smoothie. Choose Fruit Punch if you drink it on its own, before or after training. Organika also sells a Lemonade flavour, single-serve unflavoured sachets for your gym bag, and Blueberry Blitz gummies if you would rather not mix anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults 18 and over can start with a loading phase: 1 scoop (6 g) 3 to 4 times a day for 5 to 7 days, then 1 scoop a day. Stir each scoop into 500 ml of water or another drink. The label cautions are under How to Take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrganika Creatine Fruit Punch FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the creatine dose the same as the unflavoured version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each scoop holds 5 g of creatine monohydrate. The scoop is 6 g because it includes flavour and sweetener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain sugar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSugar is not on the ingredient list.

Starting at 1 scoop a day is the simpler routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it make me gain weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label notes you may gain weight.
