Creatine frequently asked questions
Creatine is one of the most researched and popular supplements among athletes today. It is a supplement that is suitable for almost every sport. We receive many different questions about creatine, so I have written a blog for you to answer the questions. If your question is not listed, you can of course also contact us.
What does creatine do?
Creatine improves performance, strength and stimulates muscle growth during explosive strength efforts. Simply put: more power during your training and a higher training volume, which ensures longer and harder training. This can ultimately lead to more muscle growth.
Can I use creatine all year round?
Of course! You don't have to stop taking creatine and you can use it all year round.
How much creatine should I take per day?
Take 1 scoop per day. This is approximately 5 grams.
Which creatine should I use?
Creatine monohydrate is the creatine that has been most researched and whose effect is therefore well known. Stick to creatine monohydrate and do not go for another variant, you often pay unnecessarily much for other variants. We also sell creatine monohydrate ourselves.
What should I take creatine with?
Creatine is often taken with water. For example, you can also add creatine to your protein shake or take it with juice.
When should I take creatine?
Creatine is often taken with breakfast or after training. For example, you can take creatine with breakfast on days when you do not train and after training on training days. You can always do it as standard for breakfast if you prefer, so you are less likely to forget it. The most important thing is that you get your creatine every day and less important when.
Should I do a loading phase of creatine with 20 grams every day?
No that is not necessary. 5 grams every day is sufficient.
