Creatine, Pure Creatine, VPLab, Unflavored, 300 g

About the Product

Do you regularly push yourself hard in your workouts, but feel like you're not making any visible progress? Are you simply lacking the energy to complete those last two or three reps in a set? During short, highly intense workouts, your muscles instantly burn through ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main source of cellular energy, and without sufficient creatine stores, the body simply can't replenish it. High-quality creatine monohydrate is a proven and reliable tool for overcoming this barrier. Pure Creatine from VPLab contains high-quality Creapure® raw materials, which saturate your muscles with energy. Creatine powder helps increase explosive power, supports overall performance during heavy sets, and creates optimal conditions for increasing muscle mass during regular strength training. Creatine monohydrate is a naturally occurring amino acid-like compound that accumulates primarily in skeletal muscle and acts as a reservoir for energy recovery. Although the body synthesizes a certain amount of creatine itself and obtains some from red meat or fish, this is often insufficient to achieve significant athletic results. To get a working daily portion of 5 grams from food, you would have to eat more than a kilogram of beef every day, so a pure supplement in the form of monohydrate is the most appropriate, studied and safe way to ensureh high level of this substance in the body.

• Release form: powder, 300 g.
• Recommended daily portion: 1 scoop (5 g).
• Recommended age: adults from 18 years.
• Certification and features: contains licensed creatine Creapure®, without flavor additives.

Why take

• Support for explosive power and endurance — Creatine allows muscle structures to regenerate ATP significantly more quickly during short-term, intense exercise. This allows you to work with more weight or do more repetitions in each set.

• Muscle mass gain — creatine attracts water directly into muscle cells, visibly increasing their volume and creating a favorable anabolic environment. Together with regular strength training, this allows the body to build new muscle fibers.

• Post-workout recovery — creatine is involved in complex cellular processes that help reduce muscle damage after grueling exercise. This can contribute to a more comfortable feeling and a quick return to working condition between sessions.

• Cognitive function support — the brain also requires a significant amount of ATP to perform complex mental tasks. Creatine supplementation may benefit focus and memory, especially in conditions of mental fatigue or sleep deprivation.

Directions for Use

Amount Per Day:Approximately one (1) scoop (5 g) per day.

When to Take: As a dietary supplement, mix approximately one (1) scoop (5 g) with 170 ml of water or suitable beverage. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this product.

Works best with:

• Simple  carbohydrates (such as grape or apple juice) — the natural release of insulin in response to carbohydrates allows for better transport of creatine into muscle cells.

• Whey protein — an ideal combination after training for comprehensive support of muscles with building materials and energy.

Combinations with should be avoided:

• Large doses of caffeine — excessive consumption of coffee or powerful pre-workout complexes (more than 300 mg of caffeine) can slightly reduce the effectiveness of creatine due to the opposite effect on water retention in cells, so it is better to separate their intake over time.

Storage conditions: Store in a cool, dry place. Protect from heat, light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Contraindications and warnings

• Warnings: Intended for healthy individuals 18 years of age or older. Do not use if inner safety seal is broken. Contents sold by weight, not volume. Sedimentation may occur.

• Dosage: Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Excessive consumption does not accelerate the results and may be harmful to the body.

• Consult a doctor: Before taking any dietary supplement, always consult a doctor or a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a chronic medical condition or are taking other medications.

• Product status:This product is a dietary supplement. This product is not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Creapure® and how is it different from regular creatine?

Creapure® is a premium, patented form of creatine monohydrate produced in Germany. It undergoes extremely rigorous testing to ensure its maximum microbiological purity and the absence of foreign impurities, making it one of the purest and safest on the world market.

Is it necessary to do a so-called 'loading phase'?

No, this is not necessary at all. A loading phase (taking 20g per day for 5-7 days) allows you to saturate your muscles with the substance a little faster, but taking a steady 5g daily will also produce the same maximum results in about 3-4 weeks, while significantly reducing the risk of any stomach discomfort.

Does creatine cause swelling in the face or body?

Creatine does retain water, but it does so intracellularly—that is, exclusively within the muscles, which makes them visually denser and fuller. This is a normal physiological process that has nothing to do with negative tissue swelling or subcutaneous fluid retention.

Can women take creatine?

Yes, creatine is great for both men and women. It will maintain muscle tone, promote overall endurance during fitness training and will not make the figure excessively bulky, because body volume depends primarily on hormone levels and the daily calorie intake of the diet.

Research on the benefits

The effect of creatine on physical performance and strength.The official position of the International Society of Sports Nutrition confirms that adding creatine to the diet of athletes is the most effective supplement that contributes to a significant increase in muscle strength and endurance during high-intensity training.

Creatine to support cognitive brain function. A systematic review of the results found that creatine supplementation can have a positive effect on working memory and mental performance. The most pronounced supportive effect was observed in people who were fatigued and in those who followed a vegetarian diet and did not receive creatine from meat.
