Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with Sports Fuel Creatine Monohydrate is straightforward. Follow these guidelines for optimal use, compatibility, and product longevity.
Setup and Mixing
- Measure Your Dose: Using the provided scoop, measure one level scoop (approximately 5g) of Sports Fuel Creatine Monohydrate powder.
- Choose Your Liquid: As the powder is unflavoured, it mixes well with water, juice (e.g., grape or apple juice can help with insulin spike, potentially aiding absorption), protein shakes, or pre-workout drinks.
- Mix Thoroughly: Add the creatine powder to your chosen liquid (typically 200-300ml). Stir vigorously with a spoon for at least 30-60 seconds, or use a shaker bottle for best results, until the powder is fully dissolved or suspended.
- Consume: Drink immediately after mixing to ensure the creatine remains suspended and you receive the full dose.
Compatibility
Sports Fuel Creatine Monohydrate is highly compatible with most common fitness supplements:
- Protein Powders: Can be mixed directly into your post-workout protein shake.
- Pre-Workouts: Easily added to your pre-workout drink for an enhanced energy and performance boost.
- Amino Acids (BCAAs, EAAs): Can be consumed alongside amino acid supplements.
- Vitamins & Minerals: No known adverse interactions with standard vitamin and mineral supplements.
Storage and Care
- Storage: Store the 1kg tub in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing in humid environments like bathrooms or near steam.
- Sealing: Always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture ingress, which can cause the powder to clump.
- Temperature: Maintain storage at room temperature (typically below 25°C / 77°F).
- Scoop Hygiene: Keep the scoop clean and dry. Avoid introducing any moisture into the tub.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the 'Best Before' date printed on the packaging for product freshness. Properly stored, it will maintain its quality until this date.
