Creatine - Magnesium
Creatine is an endogenous and natural substance present in the muscle cells of our body. It plays an important role in the energy supply of muscle cells. Especially athletes depend on an adequate supply of creatine. According to EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, starting with a daily intake of 3 grams.
But creatine, as a nutritional supplement, is also indicated for people who do not consume a diet with enough creatine, present mainly in meat and fish (fruits and vegetables contain very little creatine). Especially after age 50, at which time the storage capacity of creatine decreases significantly, a creatine supplement may be necessary.
Besides, the additional taking of magnesium improves the muscle function, reduces the tendency to muscle and calf cramps and increases the burden tolerance of the muscle. As the body uses more magnesium and creatine when it is under stress, strain and sport, a daily food supplement is appropriate.
Each capsule contains: 400 mg of creatine and 25 mg of pure magnesium.
Recommended dosage:
Take a maximum of 7 capsules divided into 3 times a day with liquid (no caffeinated drinks).
Already 6 capsules cover 40 % of the daily dose of magnesium of an adult.
Please ask your doctor before the ingestion if you have any heart, kidney or liver diseases.
Nutritional supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, healthy diet and do not replace a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of small children. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded.
