Summary

Since bursting onto the strength-training scene in the 90’s, Creatine Monohydrate has gone onto become the number-one sports supplement of choice for a large majority of athletes seeking strength, muscle and enhanced performance. PhD Nutrition use the finest-grade Creatine Monohydrate for optimum results. Creatine Monohydrate has been studied heavily over the last 10 years and most studies support the findings that athletes have observed. Over the years the use of Creatine Monohydrate has migrated into many different sports and physical activities, perhaps with good cause. Creatine Monohydrate is the most widely researched and possibly most effective sports supplement available on the modern market. When used in conjunction with an effective weight training and nutritional plan, Creatine Monohydrate has been shown to increase explosive power during short-term intense exercise like weight lifting, sprinting and maximal jumps. Creatine Monohydrate has also been shown to help increase lean body mass when combined with an effective weight training and nutritional plan.

Creatine Monohydrate is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps to supply energy to muscle cells. Use of Creatine Monohydrate in conjunction with a balanced diet and effective exercise regime could: increase explosive power, increase lean body mass when combined with effective strength-training, boost short-term energy stores and increase total work capacity. Because of the effectiveness and versatility of Micronised Creatine, it can be used synergistically with other PhD products in an attempt to maximise effectiveness.

PhD Battery+/-3: Use Creatine Monohydrate after intense exercise with PhD Battery+/-3. The combination of the fast-acting carbohydrates within Battery+/-3 and the purity of PhD Creatine Monohydrate may help to facilitate increased glycogen replenishment and recovery from exercise.

Micronised Creatine is part of the PhD Nutrition Mass and Strength range and can be used successfully with all other PhD products.

Q & A

Q. I am trying to get lean and cut and i am considering adding creatine for better muscle definition and performance...but unfortunately after hydrating myself regularly I find that I often get bloated and start carrying a little too much water weight...will this product make me feel bloated as i am not yet fully lean as i intend to be ???
A.

When using a creatine product it is a myth that creatine creates water retention where in fact its more so the fillers that are put into some creatines that can do this. We recommend choosing a product which is 100% micronised creatine such as PhD's Creatine to ensure you don't carry unwanted water.

Q. Could i mix this in with PhD Pharma gian and what results would i see if i did do that
A.

Yes this is perfectly fine.

Q. How much creatine should I take on rest days?
A.

A daily maintenance level of creatine is 10g per day. Take two 5g servings, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Q. I have just purchased this product but am going on holiday for a week and so will not be training. I am keen to start taking it but would it be best to start once I return or can I "load up" on holiday so I am god to go on my return? I guess my main question is can you take it when you aren't training?

Thanks
A.

You can load up on creatine without training that week if you choose but you may not get the same creatine retention you would get if you were training during the loading phase. No studies have been done to see the difference in training vs non-training during a loading phase.

Q. i am over 75 kg therforethe daily guideline for taking this creatine is " 10 grams every second day to fully maximise Creatine transporters" would you reccommend taking it everyday 2 scoops before and after workout? ?

thanks
A.

Studies have shown the best way to get the most from creatine is to take 20g for the first 5 days of use and then maintain 10g per day everyday after.

Adequate amount of creatine for a daily maintenance level is two 5g servings.

On training days take one 5g serving around 60minutes before your workout and 5g immediately after.

Q. can this product be taken post workout with PhD Diet whey or does it need to be taken pre-workout for best result. ???....i also take NO-xplode or Shotgun for my preworkout supplement...should i mix it with my preworkout supplement ??
A.

Creatine uptake into muscles is probably the same whether you take it before or after training but no one knows for sure because studies have not been done on this. So best having it after (as your pre-workout products contain a small amount of creatine also).

Q. What time period is recommended to use this for?? 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks?? and how lomg should you have off??

Thanks
A.

There is no good research or evidence that shows you need to come off Creatine at all. Extensive scientific studies and expert safety reviews have been conducted to this effect.

Some people like to go for 6-8 weeks and then have a week off but as stated above there is no study to show this.

PHD do not give a usage period.

Q. Are there any medical problems with creatine and who shouldnt take it?
A.

None of the thousands of scientific studies or expert roundtable safety reviews on creatine has shown any negative side effects. Even the "reports" of cramps, bloating, etc are not supported by any proper research.

The only proven side effects of creatine are inceased muscle size and strength and improved high-intensity exercise performance

The only caution would be for people who have kidney problems or a family history of kidney problems for whom creatine may not be a good idea.

Q. It says what dose to take but how is best to take this would you just add the teaspoon amount into your protein shake?
A.

You can add it to shakes or take it just before a meal.

Q. But when we see MET RX, PHD Reflex and so on that have products with Creatine Monohydrate, what the difference between the brands if its just monohydrate only. Also do you recommend taking creatine with high carb sources included or it its pure form with grape juice for example. I ask this as most products with its own 'uptake spike' carb source are so high in quick sugars they dont seem to be very healthy, especially as your going to to be using proteins and other supplements around workouts.
A.

If you train hard regularly, you use up a lot of energy from your body's glycogen stores, which are made up of sugar. So for this and other reasons, well-timed sugar or high-GI carb intake is not going to be unhealthy. If taken with protein and creatine, these carbs will dramatically increase the amount of creatine and protein that is delivered to and stored in the muscle, thus improving recovery and increasing strength and muscle gains. This is one of the reasons why Cell-Tech is the best-selling creatine formula ever - lots of carbs and patented ingredients that ensure maximum creatine retention. Protein and creatine are certainly not unhealthy however, certain types of carbs can be if they are taken in excess too long before or after workouts. The bottom line is correctly-timed carbs WILL improve your results. A good amount to take with creatine and protein after training is at least 60 grams if you are training hard.
For the full story, see - http://www.tropicanafitness.com/view/v/article/a/176 to get the facts about creatine.

Q. is phd one of the best makes and is it better to stack this with pharma whey or synergy'
A.

Each serving of Synergy contains a half day's dose of creatine. So I would skip the creatine and take two servings of synergy per day. Plus Synergy also has carbs, so it would help you retain more creatine in the muscle (although more would be better to increase creatine retention further)
