Essential Info

Here’s how to ensure you get the most out of your Creatine.

Loading Dose:

  • Who: Most people choose to use a loading phase to get to tissue saturation. If you have a sensitive tummy and are wary of experiencing GI distress, skip the loading phase and move straight to maintenance. It will just take you a bit longer to get optimal amounts of creatine into your tissues.

  • How: For the first week, take 5g TWICE daily. Thereafter, take 5g once daily. There’s no need to cycle off creatine at this daily dose.
  • Any time of day is fine, but try to stick to the same time of day each day.

  • Contrary to popular locker room belief, creatine can be taken any time of day.

  • It does NOT need to be focused around your workout.

  • Drink it shortly after mixing it! Creatine monohydrate is stable in dry form, but once it’s mixed with liquid, it begins to break down into an inactive byproduct (creatinine). To get the full benefit, mix your creatine shortly before consuming it – ideally within 30-60 minutes if using cold or neutral liquids. In warm or acidic drinks (like coffee or juice), aim to drink it within 10-15 minutes. Avoid prepping your creatine hours in advance, because this can reduce potency and limit results.
  • Take your creatine every day, not just on days you exercise. More on this below. Think of it as a daily vitamin – not a workout aid.

  • Creatine doesn’t dissolve fully in liquid, so make sure you shake, swirl, or froth to ensure no sediment is left behind in your glass.

  • It can be added to any liquid of any temperature, hot or cold (Coffee, juice, water, smoothies).

What Results To Expect

Most users see improved performance and recovery within 2-4 weeks of consistent use, depending on factors like activity level and diet. Daily use boosts results, but creatine works best with a healthy lifestyle—nutrition, exercise, and sleep matter too.

Science Rewards Steadiness & The Importance Of Daily Use

Skipping days will slow your progress.
You do NOT need to cycle off creatine at this dose.
Creatine is basically an energy source for your cells. You want to be giving yourself a daily infusion to ensure a continuous supply of energy to your muscles and brain.
Because creatine is found in animal protein, those that opt for a plant-based diet have naturally lower creatine stores. Women are also less efficient with creatine storage, and making daily use even more important.

Daily Habits That Drive Success

  • Set Your Time

    Decide what time of day is most convenient for you to take your creatine, and set a reminder on your phone.

  • Convenience Is Key

    Keep it enjoyable. Add your creatine to a daily drink you look forward to, whether that’s your coffee, a smoothie, or a pre- or post-workout drink.

  • Build Your Routine

    Keep your creatine handy. (We also sell travel packs if you need it on-the-go)

  • Journal Your Progress

    Track your progress. Whether it’s keeping a daily journal or just doing quick check-ins with yourself, focusing on how far you’ve come is a great way to stay motivated and consistent.
