Take 3g (1 scoop) of creatine monohydrate per day. This is the amount shown in research to support brain function, strength, recovery, mood, and energy - and it’s perfect for long-term daily use.
How to take it:
- Mix your daily dose into any drink - water, electrolytes, or your coffee. It dissolves best in warm liquids.
- You can take it any time of day - morning, evening, pre-training or post-training. Consistency matters more than timing.
- It’s perfectly safe to take with protein, collagen, or other supplements.
Higher doses:
Creatine is extremely safe, even at higher intakes. Studies consistently show that 5g per day is also completely safe for healthy adults and can be helpful if you’re training hard, building muscle, or under high stress.
Some people prefer a “loading phase” of 10–20g per day for 5–7 days, split into smaller doses. This simply saturates your muscles faster. It’s optional, you don’t need to load for creatine to work.
Long-term safety:
Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world and is widely recognised for its safety and effectiveness when used daily. Long-term studies, even at up to 10g/day, show no harm to healthy kidneys, liver, or hydration levels.
Quick summary:
Take 3g daily, bump to 5g if you want extra support, and load only if you’re in a hurry. Keep it simple, keep it consistent, and your brain and body will feel the difference.
