Frequently Asked Questions
What is creatine monohydrate?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the world's most researched dietary supplements. It is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle and brain tissue, where it helps produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the body's primary source of cellular energy. While creatine is best known for supporting strength and exercise performance, emerging research also suggests it plays an important role in supporting brain energy and cognitive function.*
What are the benefits of creatine monohydrate?
Creatine monohydrate is widely recognized for supporting strength, power, and exercise performance during high-intensity activity. It also helps replenish cellular energy, making it one of the most extensively studied supplements for both athletic performance and healthy aging. Emerging research suggests creatine may also support brain energy, cognitive performance, and mental resilience, making it beneficial for far more than just athletes.*
Is creatine good for brain health?
Yes. Although creatine is best known for its role in muscle performance, the brain also relies on creatine to help produce cellular energy. Emerging research suggests creatine supplementation may help support brain energy metabolism, cognitive performance, and mental resilience, particularly during periods of increased mental demand or inadequate dietary intake. Research in this area continues to grow, making creatine one of today's most exciting ingredients for supporting both body and brain.*
When is the best time to take creatine?
The best time to take creatine is the time you'll consistently remember to take it. While some people prefer taking creatine before or after exercise, research suggests that daily consistency is far more important than the specific time of day. On both training and rest days, taking creatine as part of your daily routine helps maintain muscle creatine stores over time.*
Do I need to load creatine?
No. A loading phase is optional. While taking a higher amount for the first several days may increase muscle creatine stores more quickly, taking 5 grams daily will also gradually saturate your muscles over time. Most people can simply begin with one serving each day and achieve the same long-term benefits.*
How much creatine should I take each day?
The Science Standard Creatine Monohydrate provides 5 grams of pure creatine monohydrate per serving, an amount widely used in clinical research. For most healthy adults, 5 grams daily is an effective serving to support strength, power, exercise performance, and cellular energy. Consistent daily use is more important than timing.*
Follow the directions on the label, and consult a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement routine, especially if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition, take medication, or are preparing for surgery.
Does creatine cause bloating or water retention?
Creatine helps draw water into muscle cells, which is part of how it supports muscle performance and recovery. While some people may notice a slight increase in body water when they first begin supplementation, creatine does not typically cause the bloated feeling many people associate with water retention. Staying well hydrated can help support optimal results.*
Is creatine only for athletes?
No. Although creatine has long been popular among athletes, research suggests it may benefit a much wider range of people. Because creatine supports cellular energy production in both muscles and the brain, it is increasingly used by active adults, older adults, vegetarians, and anyone looking to support physical performance, healthy aging, or cognitive function as part of a healthy lifestyle.*
