Dy Nutrition The Creatine 316G

DY Nutrition The Creatine, 316g. A flavoured creatine powder from the Dorian Yates line.

Benefits

• Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of creatine.

Flavoured creatine, and the trade-off

Most creatine is sold unflavoured because you take it every day and flavour gets tiring. The argument for a flavoured tub is the opposite one: if plain creatine in water is unpleasant enough that you skip days, a flavour you like is worth paying for. Creatine only works on consistent daily intake, so the version you actually take beats the cheaper one you do not.

These are fruit flavours rather than the usual dessert options, which suits a product you drink in plain cold water.

Also in the formula

Beta-alanine, taurine and added vitamins alongside the creatine — quantities on the tub. Check the creatine content per serving to confirm it reaches the 3g the claim above depends on.

• 316g
• Take daily, training days and rest days alike

Beta-alanine and taurine hold no authorised health claim on the GB register.
