Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most extensively studied sports nutrition ingredients available. The authorised EFSA health claim states that creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, with the beneficial effect achieved through a daily intake of 3g of creatine.
Consistency is more important than timing. Taking creatine every day helps maintain muscle creatine stores, whether on training or rest days. Adequate hydration should also be maintained while supplementing with creatine.
Although creatine is suitable for many healthy adults, it should not replace a balanced diet or structured training programme. Individuals with kidney disease, impaired kidney function, those under medical supervision or anyone unsure whether creatine is appropriate for them should consult their GP, pharmacist or dietitian before use.
