Q. When should I use Creatine Monohydrate?

A. It depends on your lifestyle and goals, we recommend following our recommended usage guidelines.

Q. What is Creatine?

A. Creatine is a compound made naturally by the body which is used as the primary form of energy for the muscles.

Q. Can I get Creatine form natural whole foods?

A. Yes, many foods naturally contain Creatine, such as tuna, salmon and beef. However, the Creatine content in these foods is considered below the dosage recommended in studies that would bring about an improved performance such as an increase in strength.

Q. I have heard that you need to drink lots of water when taking Creatine Monohydrate?

A. When taking Creatine Monohydrate, try to consume as much water as possible. If you are not correctly hydrated, then Creatine Monohydrate will not be properly absorbed, resulting in poor results.

Q. Is it essential that I have a “Loading Phase” when supplementing with Creatine Monohydrate?

A. Some studies have shown that if you do choose to load, then it helps you reach muscle creatine saturation point much quicker than if you didn’t go through loading phase. However, others would argue you don’t need to do this and results can be achieved without it. Therefore we recommend you trial both and see which supplement protocol your body responds to best.

Q. What is the difference between powdered and tablet forms of Creatine Monohydrate?

A. Powdered Creatine is absorbed more rapidly by the bloodstream compared to that of a pill. Pills tend to have coatings on them so this slows down the absorption rate.

Q. Is all Creatine Monohydrate the same no matter what brand you use?

A. As with so many things in life, if you don’t ask the right questions, you won’t get the right answers! The quality of ingredient can vary significantly and therefore the potency will do too. In addition, just because a product may be called pure it doesn’t mean that it necessarily is.

It has also been suggested that if you take Creatine Monohydrate, then to limit your intake of caffeine where possible.
