Next Generation Pure Creatine Monohydrate

Next Generation Pure Creatine Monohydrate is a creatine monohydrate powder in a 500 g bag labelled 100 serves, so the product is 500 g of powder rather than 500 mg. The pack describes it as micronised, pharmaceutical grade and 99.9% pure. Creatine suits people doing repeated high-intensity efforts such as resistance training or sprints.

How to use

The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements describes a maintenance intake of 3 to 5 g a day, or an optional loading phase of 20 g a day split into four 5 g doses for 5 to 7 days. Follow the directions on your pack.

Good to know

• The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements describes creatine as considered safe for short-term use by healthy adults. A gain of 1 to 2 kg of body weight in the first month is the most consistent side effect.
• Creatine appears to be of little value for endurance sports.
• If you are an athlete who is drug tested, choose batch-tested products (for example HASTA or Informed Sport certified) and check with your sport before use.
• If you have a medical condition or take medication, check with your doctor before use.

FAQs

Is this 500 mg capsules?

No. The pack is a 500 g bag of creatine monohydrate powder labelled 100 serves. The "500" in the product name refers to the 500 g bag size, which works out to about 5 g of powder per serve.

How much should I take?

Check the directions on your pack. As a guide, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements describes 3 to 5 g a day for maintenance, or a loading phase of 20 g a day in four 5 g doses for 5 to 7 days. Our creatine guide covers timing.

Do I need to load creatine?

No. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements notes that single doses of about 3 to 6 g a day for 3 to 4 weeks, without a loading phase, are an alternative to loading. Loading simply gets muscle stores up faster.

Will creatine make me gain weight?

It may. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements lists weight gain as the most consistent effect, for example a 1 to 2 kg increase in total body weight in a month. Weigh yourself at the same time of day to track changes.
