Creatine is a natural substance found in muscle and is a proven safe and powerful dietary supplement. Hundreds of research studies have demonstrated that creatine supplementation

  • Improves anaerobic performance (sports and activities requiring quick bursts of energy)
  • Increases strength and power
  • Enhances muscle size and/or body composition

The goals of taking this product are to increase muscle levels of creatine and decrease the time it takes to regenerate creatine during exercise. Increasing muscle stores of creatine to beneficial levels cannot be done practically through food alone.


Why take this product?

dotFIT™ CreatineMonohydrate matches the exact compound and dosage used in research studies. The dotFIT tablet form of creatine (versus the common powder form) allows you to conveniently and accurately control delivery and dosage throughout the day. It is also ideal for increasing total creatine intake because creatine is the single ingredient in this formula. Other creatine products have additional ingredients, limited dosage recommendations and require mixing with fluids.


Who should take this product?

dotFIT CreatineMonohydrate is suitable for

  • Experienced anaerobic athletes who want to enhance their performance and are not concerned with weight gain. 
  • Experienced exercisers who consistently weight train and are looking to gain muscle.
  • Individuals with low creatine intake (vegetarians, diets limited in meat).
  • Elderly persons seeking to enhance daily functions (confirmed by physician).

Unique Features

  • Contains pure creatine-monohydrate, the form shown in over 500 studies to yield results.
  • Convenient  tablet delivery (no mess, consistent dose, no stomach upset).
  • Manufactured in a FDA registered facility, in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) exclusively for dotFIT, LLC.

Suggested Use:

  • As a dietary supplement, Loading Phase: For the first 5 days take 4 tablets, 4 times daily with 8 oz. of cold water or your favorite beverage.
  • Maintenance Phase: From day 5 onwards consume 4 tablets, 1-2 times daily.
  • On Training days: Take 1 or 2 of the daily recommended 4 tablets shortly before and after exercise.
  • For increased effects consume your Creatine with 25-45g of a pre or post exercise carbohydrate food/beverage. For maximum results use for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Contraindications

  • Due to one study performed on rats and two human case reports, creatine supplementation is contraindicated for those with kidney problems or at risk for kidney disease because of possible increased kidney stress
  • Creatine supplementation should be avoided by pregnant or lactating women because of the lack of studies done with this population.
  • Athletes not desiring weight gain should avoid creatine supplementation or attempt to lose body fat simultaneously in order to offset muscle weight increases thus still receiving creatine’s potential performance benefits.
