Creatine helps your body quickly create ATP (your body’s main energy source).
Your muscles naturally contain creatine from what your body produces and from some foods we consume, mainly protein sources. When we supplement with it, we saturate our muscles, helping them reach their maximum creatine capacity. There are a million and 1 cognitive, physical and mental benefits… and in my opinion, everyone should be on it.
HOW do we take it?
If you’re worried about possible effects (mainly gut discomfort), it’s recommended to start at a lower dose around 1–1.5 grams.
Once you feel settled, increase to 3–5 grams (ideally 5 grams a day).
I would HIGHLY recommend NOT taking it on an empty stomach and pairing it with a meal so the insulin response from food can help with uptake.
If you don’t experience any gut issues, you can take it with whatever you want… coffee, smoothie, water, anything!
It does NOT matter when you take it — you just HAVE to take it every single day (whether you worked out or not). It takes about 3 weeks for your body to become fully saturated, and 3–5 grams daily is enough to maintain this.
The only ingredient your creatine needs to contain: CREATINE MONOHYDRATE.
I personally take a 1-2 week break after my jar is done. However, this isn’t necessary or needed at all. If you want to do it without pauses, you may!
