What Organika Creatine Lemonade is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80129309. The licence lists two recommended uses:

• Improves strength in repetitive bouts of brief, highly-intense physical activity (e.g. sprints, jumping, resistance training).
• Increases lean muscle mass when used in conjunction with a resistance training regimen.

What's in each scoop

The active ingredient is creatine monohydrate at 5,000 mg, the same dose as Organika's unflavoured creatine. The other gram of the scoop is flavour and balance: natural lemonade flavour, stevia leaf extract for sweetness, citric acid for a tart edge, and a little sodium chloride. There is no sugar on the ingredient list.

How creatine works

Your body makes creatine from amino acids and stores most of it in muscle as phosphocreatine. Muscle cells draw on that reserve during short, hard efforts such as a heavy lift or a sprint. A daily dose keeps the store topped up. Creatine monohydrate is the form used in most of the research on creatine, which makes it one of the most studied ingredients in sports nutrition.

Flavoured or unflavoured?

Choose the unflavoured 500 g tub if you add creatine to a protein shake or smoothie. Choose Lemonade if you drink it on its own, before or after training. Organika also sells a Fruit Punch flavour, single-serve unflavoured sachets for your gym bag, and Blueberry Blitz gummies if you would rather not mix anything.

How to take it

Adults 18 and over can start with a loading phase: 1 scoop (6 g) 3 to 4 times a day for 5 to 7 days, then 1 scoop a day. Stir each scoop into 500 ml of water or another drink. The label cautions are under How to Take.

Organika Creatine Lemonade FAQ

Is the creatine dose the same as the unflavoured version?

Yes. Each scoop holds 5 g of creatine monohydrate. The scoop is 6 g because it includes flavour and sweetener.

Does it contain sugar?

Sugar is not on the ingredient list. It is sweetened with stevia leaf extract.

Do I need the loading phase?

The label offers it as a way to fill your muscle stores faster. Starting at 1 scoop a day is the simpler routine.

Will it make me gain weight?

The label notes you may gain weight. Creatine draws water into muscle, which can show on the scale.
