When to take creatine and possible risks

Did you know...

 


A question many athletes ask is: when should you take creatine?

The best way to take creatine is 2-3 g a day for at least a month.

The benefits are an increase in power and lean mass in relation to training.

Creatine can be taken at any time of day, but it is more effective when taken in the hour after training.

What are the possible risks?

Creatine in doses > 10 g can have a laxative effect. The main metabolite of creatine is creatinine, classified as harmless (GRAS).

In the presence of liver and kidney disease, the dose of creatine should be reduced on medical advice.

Our advice, then, is to follow the directions for use on the label, and if necessary to ask your own doctor for advice.
