How to Use Creatine for Best Effect?
For the best results, it is important to take creatine regularly and over a longer period to achieve and maintain its benefits. When it comes to timing, it can be taken both before and after training, depending on individual preferences and goals.
Creatine Loading Phase
To optimise the amount of creatine in the muscles, some users may undergo a loading phase where they take a high dose of creatine over a short period. When starting creatine, you may begin with a loading phase where you consume 5 grams of creatine four times a day for 5 days. After this, you only need to take 5 grams per day. There isn't much research to support the loading phase. We recommend taking 5 grams per day continuously.
Creatine Before or After Training
There is no strict rule for when you should take creatine in relation to training. Some prefer to take it before training to boost energy levels and performance, while others prefer to take it after training to promote recovery and muscle repair. Experiment and see what works best for you.
How Long Should You Take Creatine?
We recommend taking creatine for 2 months, followed by a 2-week break, then starting again. There is no set time frame for how long you should take creatine, but many people use it continuously for several weeks or months to achieve and maintain its benefits.
Creatine Breaks & Cycles
Some people choose to take short breaks or use creatine in cycles, which we believe can be a good solution.
