Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of Creatine?

Creatine monohydrate boosts muscle strength and power, enhances high-intensity performance, increases muscle mass, and improves recovery by reducing muscle cell damage. It also supports cognitive functions and overall brain health. This makes it a versatile supplement for athletes and fitness enthusiasts aiming for better performance and quicker recovery.

Are there any side effects to Creatine?

Creatine has been the subject of many studies and trials over the years and has been widely shown to be safe and effective but, in rare cases, some may experience side effects including water retention and stomach upset. As always, read the packaging and follow recommended dosages (typically 5g creatine monohydrate a day) and discontinue use if uncomfortable or distracting side effects occur.

How & when should I take Creatine?

For powdered Creatine Monohydrate - which is typically unflavoured - simply mix 3-5 grams (often 1 scoop) with water or even a protein shake and consume it, ideally, post-workout or with a meal on both training and non-training days. No loading phases required! Alternatively, creatine is available in the form of gummies or tablets if you prefer (recommended dosage of 3-5g a day still applies). As always, remember to stay hydrated when supplementing!
