Frequently Asked Questions
Your muscles run on a cellular energy currency called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). During intense lifting or sprinting, ATP is rapidly "spent" and turns into ADP within seconds. Creatine steps in by donating a stored phosphate molecule to quickly convert that ADP right back into fresh ATP, allowing you to sustain maximum power output longer.
Creatine monohydrate dissolves most effectively in liquid, and mixing it with a full 250ml glass of cold water ensures you can comfortably consume the entire serving while supporting proper overall hydration, which helps transport nutrients into your muscle cells.
No complex cycling or mandatory loading phases are required. Taking a consistent daily serving of 5g allows your muscles to gradually and steadily saturate their natural creatine stores over time, making consistency far more important than timing or loading.
Creatine draws water into the muscle cells rather than underneath the skin—a process known as intracellular hydration. This intra-cellular volume increase actually supports optimal muscle function and protein synthesis while giving muscles a fuller, more hydrated appearance.
The directions recommend drinking 1 serving mixed with 250ml of cold water approximately 30 minutes before your workout.
While some athletes choose to run a loading phase to saturate muscles faster, a standard daily maintenance dose of 5g per day is an effective and straightforward way to build and maintain creatine stores over time.
