A dietary supplement provided in a container, wherein the container comprises a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment includes an aqueous medium. The second compartment includes the dietary supplement that is stable when stored within the second compartment, the container is configured such that a user may selectively cause the first and second compartments to be in communication with each other such that the dietary supplement of the second compartment is mixed with the aqueous medium of the first compartment. The dietary supplement, which may be creatine or a derivative thereof, is less stable after being mixed with the aqueous medium of the first compartment.

Le premier compartiment contient un milieu aqueux. Le second compartiment contient le complément diététique, qui est stable lorsqu'il est stocké à l'intérieur du second compartiment. Le récipient est conçu de façon qu'un utilisateur peut sélectivement provoquer la communication entre les premier et second compartiments pour que le complément diététique du second compartiment soit mélangé avec le milieu aqueux du premier compartiment. Le complément diététique, qui peut être la créatine ou l'un de ses dérivés, est moins stable après avoir été mélangé avec le milieu aqueux du premier compartiment.
