FAQs
What is Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine Monohydrate is a naturally occurring compound that helps supply energy to all cells in the body, particularly muscles. It is widely recognized as an effective supplement for enhancing athletic performance, strength, and muscle growth.
How much Creatine Monohydrate should I take daily?
The standard recommended dose is 5 grams per day. There is no need for a 'loading phase' with current recommendations; consistent daily intake is most effective.
When is the best time to take Creatine Monohydrate?
It can be taken at any time of day. Many prefer to take it post-workout, often mixed with a protein shake, but consistency is more important than timing.
Do I need to cycle Creatine Monohydrate?
Cycling is generally not necessary for Creatine Monohydrate. Continuous daily use is recommended to maintain elevated muscle creatine levels for sustained benefits.
Is Onnit Creatine Monohydrate safe for vegans?
Yes, Onnit Creatine Monohydrate is vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free, making it suitable for individuals following these dietary preferences.
What does 'Informed Sport - We Test You Trust' mean?
This certification means the product has undergone rigorous testing by the Informed Sport program to ensure it is free from banned substances and safe for athletes to use.
Should I drink more water when taking creatine?
Yes, it is important to stay well-hydrated when taking creatine. Increased water intake helps the body utilize creatine effectively and can minimize potential side effects like cramping or dehydration.
Troubleshooting
Creatine not dissolving completely
Ensure you are mixing thoroughly with sufficient liquid. Stirring vigorously or using a shaker bottle can help. Allow it to sit for a minute or two before drinking.
Experiencing mild stomach discomfort
Try taking creatine with a meal or splitting the dose throughout the day. Ensure you are drinking plenty of water.
No noticeable performance improvement
Ensure consistent daily intake for at least 2-4 weeks, as creatine takes time to saturate muscle stores. Verify you are using the correct dosage (typically 5g daily).
Product appears clumpy or hardened
This can happen due to humidity. While it may not dissolve as easily, it is generally still safe to use if stored properly. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed and store in a dry environment.
