- How much creatine should I take daily?
- Most research uses 3 to 5 g per day, which is one scoop of this powder. A loading phase of about 20 g a day for a week is optional and not required.
- Does unflavored creatine have a taste?
- It has little flavor but can taste faintly bitter in plain water. Mixing it into juice, a smoothie or a protein shake hides it.
- When should I take it?
- Timing matters less than consistency. Take it any time of day, including rest days, to keep muscle creatine levels up.
- Is creatine monohydrate safe?
- Creatine monohydrate is well studied and considered safe for healthy adults at recommended doses. People with kidney conditions should ask a doctor first.
- Does it contain caffeine or other stimulants?
- No. It is a single-ingredient creatine powder with no stimulants, so it can be taken at any time, including before bed.
- How should I store it?
- Keep the tub closed in a cool, dry place. Use a dry scoop, since moisture makes the powder clump.
