Physical performance

Creatine Functional Bar – Banana Gummie

Load. Move. Lift. Repeat.

THE FACT

Across Europe, lifting or moving heavy loads forms part of the job for between 25% and 40% of workers¹.

Physical effort is part of the working day for millions of people.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Does your shift involve walking, lifting, moving… and starting all over again?

On some days, the same physical effort is repeated, especially when the job involves handling loads or physically demanding tasks.

THE BRIDGE

That is why we developed Creatine Functional Bar – Banana Gummie: a creatine gummy containing 3 g of creatine monohydrate in a compact, easy-to-carry format designed to help you incorporate creatine into your daily routine.

Origin / why

Because some working days put your physical performance to the test. When physical effort is short, intense and repeated, creatine increases physical performance.*
*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams of creatine.

“We are used to talking about creatine in a sporting context, but physical performance is not limited to sport. Creatine can be particularly relevant when we need to respond to short, intense, and repeated physical efforts, as can also happen during certain working days.”

Physical performance – Creatine

WHY DOES IT WORK? Creatine is particularly relevant when successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise are required, as creatine increases physical performance in this type of exercise1*. *The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams of creatine.
WHAT IS IT? Creatine is a substance the body produces naturally and stores mainly in the muscles in the form of phosphocreatine.

Education

01

Eye-opening fact

Did you know that the body needs to replace some of its creatine every day?

Approximately 1-2% of the creatine stored in muscle is eliminated through urine each day. The body therefore needs to replenish its creatine stores continuously¹.

02

Myth vs. reality

Myth:
“Creatine is only for athletes.”

Reality:
Although creatine supplementation has been studied extensively in sport, physical performance is not limited to sporting activities. Physical effort can also form part of everyday working life.

03

Top ingredient

Did you know that your body also produces creatine?

Creatine does not only come from food or supplementation. The body can synthesize it naturally, mainly in the liver, pancreas and kidneys, and it is stored predominantly in the muscles in the form of phosphocreatine.

04

9to5 tip

Look after what happens between one physical effort and the next.

During a physically demanding workday, pay close attention to breaks, hydration, nutrition and rest. Physical performance depends not only on what happens during effort but also on how you prepare and recover.

What is creatine?

Creatine is a substance the body produces naturally and stores mainly in the muscles as phosphocreatine. Creatine can also be obtained through food and supplementation.

What does creatine do?

Creatine is associated with physical performance during certain types of exercise. More specifically, creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. *The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams of creatine.

How much creatine should I take each day?

A daily intake of 3 grams of creatine is needed to obtain its beneficial effect on physical performance during successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The appropriate amount in other contexts may depend on individual characteristics and needs.

When should I take creatine?

Creatine should be consumed regularly. Instead of associating it with a specific time of day, you can incorporate it into your daily routine.

Is it better to take creatine before or after a workout?

Creatine intake does not need to be limited to before or after exercise. Supplementation is generally a routine, and timing can be adapted to individual preferences.

Should you take creatine every day?

Creatine supplementation is generally a routine, not limited to days with higher physical activity. Whether to take it daily and the amount depends on individual needs and goals.

What is the difference between creatine and creatine monohydrate?

Creatine is the compound itself, while creatine monohydrate is one of the forms in which it is provided as a supplement. In this form, each creatine molecule is associated with a molecule of water.

Is Creatine – Banana Gummie only for athletes?

Not necessarily. Although creatine has been studied extensively in sporting contexts, physical demands can also form part of everyday or working life.
