Beginners guide to CREATINE 💪🏼👀

When I first started my fitness journey I had heard SO much about creatine and never knew what was true and what wasn’t or if I should start taking it.

Let’s get a few things straight - is it a magic supplement that will all of a sudden cause you to gain a bunch of muscle? No. But, can it help enhance your fitness journey and goals? Absolutely.

In short, creatine monohydrate aids in creatine more energy in your muscle cells, which therefore allows you to train harder and push yourself more than you normally would - typically leading to greater muscular development.

While you can LOAD creatine by taking a significant serving for a week or two at a time and then coming down to a normal dose, it isn’t necessary and I don’t recommend it to most of my clients. 5g a day is the typical recommended serving size.

A common MYTH is that creatine will cause you to BLOAT. This isn’t true, however you may see the scale go up by a pound or so upon starting creatine simply because it causes you to store more water in your muscle cells. So don’t freak out if you see the pound jump up a tiny bit - it’s simply water.
