CREATINE MONOHYDRATE / EVIDENCE-BASED BASICS
Simple works.
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied sports supplements. The standard approach does not require complicated cycling or a loading phase.
Optional loading
~0.3 g/kg/dayFor about 5–7 days, typically divided across the day, followed by 3–5 g/day. Loading raises stores faster but is not required.
No loading
3–5 g/dayUsing the maintenance amount from the start can still increase muscle creatine stores over roughly 3–4 weeks.
Keep it practical
Consistency firstUse creatine monohydrate consistently and avoid making the routine more complicated than the evidence requires.
When to get individualized guidance
Talk with an appropriate healthcare professional before adding creatine if you have kidney disease, are pregnant or nursing, are under 18, have a condition affecting fluid balance, or have been told to restrict supplements or protein.
