GOOD TO KNOW
Creatine questions, answered
Will creatine make me bulky?
No. Creatine supports your muscles’ ability to produce energy during exercise, but taking creatine alone won’t suddenly make you bulky. Changes in muscle size depend on factors such as training, nutrition and your individual body.
Is creatine a steroid?
No. Creatine is not a steroid. It’s a naturally occurring compound found in the body and in foods such as meat and fish, and is also widely used as a dietary supplement.
Will creatine make me gain weight?
Some people notice a small increase in body weight when they start taking creatine. This is generally related to increased water stored within the muscles rather than an increase in body fat.
Will creatine make me bloated?
Creatine draws water into muscle cells, but that’s different from digestive bloating. Some people may experience temporary stomach discomfort, particularly with larger amounts. Taking the recommended serve and mixing it well can help.
Is creatine safe for my kidneys?
Research generally supports the safety of creatine for healthy adults when used at recommended amounts. If you have an existing kidney condition, another health condition, take medication or have concerns about whether creatine is right for you, speak with your healthcare professional before use.
Do I need a loading phase?
No. A loading phase isn’t necessary. Creatine can be taken consistently each day without loading. Creatine Daily+™ provides 3g per serve, making it easy to build into your everyday routine.
