Creatine is a popular supplement that boosts performance in some sports and may slow the progression of a few neurological diseases.
Creatine is an organic acid that naturally occurs in the body and helps provide energy to muscles.
Creatine is stored in muscle cells, and needs to be taken in through diet or supplements.
There is no recommended daily dose for creatine because it’s already produced by the body.
You should take a loading dose for about five days if you want to immediately increase your muscle stores of creatine.
After the five-day loading period, you should take 2–5 grams (0.07–0.18 oz) per day for at least three months.
