When should you take Creapure creatine capsules?
Nutri&Co Creapure Creatine Monohydrate is a dietary supplement in vegetarian capsules that provides, per 4 capsules, 3.4 g of Creapure® creatine monohydrate, or 3 g of creatine. Creatine is a molecule that the body produces and stores primarily in the muscles; it is the gold standard active ingredient in sports supplements designed for short, explosive bursts of effort.
Creatine enhances physical performance during successive sets of very intense, short-duration exercises. This beneficial effect is achieved through daily intake of 3 g of creatine—which is precisely what the four capsules in the daily dose provide.
This supplement is therefore intended for adults who engage in very intense physical exercise: weight training, sprinting, interval training, combat sports, or racquet sports—any discipline involving repeated short bursts of effort with little recovery time between sets.
The capsules contain only creatine and a plant-based shell. This format is ideal for those who prefer a regular daily dose without a measuring scoop or shaker: the bottle fits easily into a gym bag and can be taken with just a glass of water.
High-intensity workouts cause you to sweat, but this formula does not provide any electrolytes. For this reason, we recommend Hydrop Granions, effervescent tablets that dissolve in the water in your water bottle and combine potassium, sodium, and magnesium: they complement the creatine through your workout drink.

Our expert advice on Nutri&Co creatine capsules
Creatine’s effectiveness is measured over time, not just in the first week. Muscle reserves build up gradually: the benefits only become apparent with daily use. The mistake we see most often at the counter is taking the capsules only on workout days, then concluding that they don’t work.
Before you start, there are two factors to consider: kidney function and diabetes. If either applies to you, consult your doctor. For everyone else, keep in mind that creatine doesn’t replace training. Without sets of very intense exercises, you shouldn’t expect any results.
FAQ
Do I need to do a loading phase with Nutri&Co Creapure Creatine Monohydrate?
No, it’s not necessary. A loading phase is only used to saturate the muscles’ creatine stores more quickly; with 3 g per day, these stores fill up more slowly, but the result is the same in the long run.
Does Nutri&Co Creapure Creatine Monohydrate cause weight gain?
A slight weight gain is possible when you first start taking it. Creatine is stored with water in the muscles: this weight comes from intramuscular water, not fat.
Is Nutri&Co creatine in capsule form just as effective as the powder?
Yes, the content is the same: Creapure® creatine monohydrate. Four capsules provide the 3.4 g found in one dose of powder. The choice comes down to convenience, as capsules eliminate the need to prepare a drink.
Does Nutri&Co Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate damage the kidneys?
Available studies have not shown any harmful effects of creatine on the kidneys in healthy individuals. A kidney function test should be performed by a doctor for anyone with concerns about their kidney function.
