1. What is Effervescent Zero Creatine 18 tbl Bloedsinaasappel and what does it do?
Effervescent Zero Creatine 18 tbl Bloedsinaasappel is creatine monohydrate in effervescent tablet form — not a powder or capsule, but fizzy tablets that dissolve in water into a refreshing drink.
Per effervescent tablet: 1500 mg creatine. Daily dose: 2 tablets in 200 ml water = 3 g creatine (EFSA-recognised daily dose). Fresh blood orange flavour — a deeper fruity note than classic orange, with a slight bitterness. 9 servings per tube of 18 tablets.
2. Who is Effervescent Zero Creatine 18 tbl Bloedsinaasappel suitable for?
For adults (18+) who want a refreshing, easy-to-carry form of creatine.
Particularly suitable for:
- Travellers — small tube vs large tub of powder
- Pre-workout drink lovers (fizz effect)
- People who don't want to mix powder or swallow capsules
- Athletes who value flavour over neutrality
NOT suitable for: people on a salt-restricted diet, high blood pressure under treatment (without consulting a doctor — contains 400–800 mg sodium per daily dose!), chronic kidney disease, pregnancy/breast-feeding, <18 years.
3. What does creatine do in my diet?
EFSA-approved claim (Regulation 432/2012):
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.
The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine; this applies to adults performing high intensity exercise. 2 effervescent tablets provide exactly this dose.
4. How do I take Effervescent Zero Creatine 18 tbl Bloedsinaasappel?
Daily dose: 2 effervescent tablets in 200 ml water.
- Add to water, wait 30–60 sec for complete dissolution, drink immediately
- 1500 mg creatine per tablet × 2 = 3 g creatine = exact EFSA daily dose
- Best timing: pre-workout (30–60 min before training) or peri-workout
- Keep the tube tightly closed — effervescent tablets react with moisture in the air
- Drink ≥2 litres of water per day
5. When is the best time to take Effervescent Zero Creatine 18 tbl Bloedsinaasappel?
Pre-workout or peri-workout — when a refreshing sports drink is desired.
Timing is less critical, but the effervescent format fits well into a pre-workout routine.
6. Should I take Effervescent Zero Creatine 18 tbl Bloedsinaasappel with or without food?
Both work — effervescent tablets are often drunk pre-workout on an empty stomach.
For optimal absorption benefit: with a meal containing carbohydrates. But in a sports context: pre-workout on an empty stomach works fine.
7. How long does it take before I notice results?
Subjective performance effects: 2–6 weeks. An initial 1–2 kg water weight gain in the muscles is normal.

- Trade-off: higher sodium content per daily dose (400–800 mg)
9. What is the difference compared with classic creatine powder or capsules?
Functional difference: minimal. Practical difference: choice of format.
- Effectiveness: identical — all provide 3 g creatine = EFSA claim
- Format: drink experience vs scoop and shaker vs swallowing
- Sodium: higher in effervescent tablets (400–800 mg vs <50 mg in powder)
- Price per gram of creatine: effervescent tablets are more expensive
- Travel-friendly: effervescent tablets in a tube — compact
10. How much creatine is in each serving?
3.0 g creatine per daily dose of 2 effervescent tablets.
The tube contains 18 tablets = 9 daily doses — a 9-day supply at 1 daily dose per day.
