Package
The type of packaging in which the drug is supplied.
- Jar. Quite convenient and practical packaging for both powder and capsules/tablets (see “Dosage form”). It is used in most modern brands of creatine.
- Pouch. Only powdered creatines are produced in pouches. Such packaging is somewhat cheaper than a can, takes up less space, and the volume of the package decreases simultaneously with the reduction in the amount of contents.
- Box. The boxes contain only drugs produced in the form of capsules or tablets. In this case, the capsules/tablets can be packaged in a blister pack (see below); in fact, the difference between a blister pack and a box in such cases lies only in what the manufacturer calls the packaging.
- Blister pack. Packaging used exclusively for capsules or tablets: a characteristic cavity or pocket into which capsules/tablets are sealed, each in its cell. In this case, several such records can be packed in a box (see above).
Daily rate
The daily norm of the drug, produced in the dosage form of a powder.
Recall that at the initial stage of taking creatine (the so-called loading phase), it is recommended to take it in high doses, and then the dosage is reduced to a “supporting” level. As a daily norm, manufacturers usually indicate the amount of the drug in the maintenance phase. Also, note that the format of taking creatine can be different: some formulations are designed to be taken once a day, others two to three times a day. Accordingly, the size of the daily allowance may correspond to one or more servings.
