Frequently asked questions
What does creatine do?
Creatine helps regenerate energy in muscle cells, boosting strength, power output and muscle volume, and it's one of the most researched and effective sports supplements.
Do you need to load creatine?
No; loading just saturates muscles faster. Taking around 5 grams a day consistently reaches the same saturation within a few weeks.
Does creatine break natty status?
No; creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in food and does not affect natural (natty) status, since it isn't a hormone or steroid.
