Creatine and BCAAs are usually bought as two tubs. This is both in one scoop, which is cheaper and simpler than buying them separately.One heaped teaspoon, eight grams, supplies 5g of micronised creatine monohydrate and 3g of branched chain amino acids: 1500mg of L-leucine, 750mg of L-isoleucine and 750mg of L-valine. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, at a daily intake of 3g, which this comfortably exceeds.Micronised creatine is ground finer than standard monohydrate, so it disperses more readily and is less gritty.Dr Vegan's directions are one heaped teaspoon a day, mixed into a hot or cold drink or into food, with adequate hydration alongside. Creatine draws water into muscle, so the hydration note is not boilerplate.At eight grams a day this 240g tub covers a month, and buying the two ingredients separately would generally cost more.A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet.
