How Does Creatine Work?
Taking a creatine supplement may help support your overall stamina and muscle mass. Since half of your creatine stores come from diet through meat, fish, and eggs, taking a dietary creatine supplement can be beneficial.
Creatine is a derivative amino acid made from other amino acids that is stored as phosphocreatine in your muscles. Phosphocreatine is vital for ATP synthesis — muscles’ energy currency. During exercise, ATP transforms into ADP, an energy byproduct. If your muscles are saturated with phosphocreatine, it can donate its phosphate group to ADP, recycling it into usable ATP.
Bottom line: The more phosphocreatine is in your muscles, the faster this ATP process occurs.
How To Take Creatine Powder
Mix one scoop of Smarter Creatine Monohydrate Powder in 8 to 12 ounces of water, juice, smoothies, or protein shakes before or after your workout.
The recommended daily dose of creatine monohydrate is 3 to 5 grams a day, and one scoop of Smarter Creatine Monohydrate is approximately 5 grams.
If you are just starting a creatine supplement, it may be beneficial to begin with a loading dose. For creatine loading, take a larger dose of around 20 to 25 grams or 5 scoops a day for 5 to 7 days, split into five servings throughout the day. After 5 to 7 days, follow with the regular 5 gram scoop a day for maintenance.
To optimize your results and avoid dehydration or excessive bloating, drink plenty of water along with any creatine supplementation. Consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates (e.g., cereals, rice, pasta, and potatoes) with creatine may help with overall effectiveness.
As with any dietary supplement, you should consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, are taking medications, or have known adverse reactions or allergies.
