#### Creatine - 90 Servings Details

Creatine is an amino acid found mostly in your muscles and in the brain. It’s naturally produced in the body from other amino acids. Creatine is also found in foods like meats, eggs, and fish. It plays a vital role in the body’s production of cellular energy by helping to make ATP, a molecule needed for intense exercise, as well as for supplying the energy to pump your heart and power your brain.*

#### Frequent Questions

**Is Creatine right for me?**  
Creatine may be a good fit for individuals looking to support muscle strength, power, and exercise performance, as well as overall cellular energy production.* It’s commonly used by active adults and athletes, but can also benefit those seeking cognitive or neuromuscular support as part of a healthy lifestyle.* As with any supplement, it’s best to discuss with your health-care provider to determine whether creatine is appropriate for your individual needs and goals.

**What testing does Thorne complete for Creatine?**  
We test each ingredient for identity, purity, and potency to ensure every ingredient and finished product meets our strict quality standards at the time of manufacture and up to the product’s expiration date. This includes checking for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes. When a product carries an NSF Certified for Sport mark, it signifies that the product has been tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by major athletic organizations.

**When is the best time to take Creatine?**  
The key to supplementing with creatine is consistency, rather than timing, because creatine works best when it saturates the muscles over time and then maintains that saturation. For optimal absorption, creatine can be used 30-90 minutes before or after exercise or daily for consistent use.

**Can women take creatine monohydrate?**  
Yes! Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in the body and in foods like meat and fish. It’s not gender-specific, and its benefits apply to both women and men.

**How much Creatine should I take?**  
Most people take 1 scoop (5 g) of Thorne Creatine once daily, mixed with water or a preferred beverage. Some individuals choose a short loading phase to build creatine stores more quickly, but this isn’t required. Daily use at 5 g is effective for most people.

**Does Creatine help with weight management?**  
Creatine promotes physical endurance, power output, and work capacity which can enhance strength and promote lean body mass, supporting a healthier body composition over time.*

**Does Creatine cause bloating or water retention?**  
For most people, Thorne Creatine is well-tolerated. The micronized form used by Thorne is designed for easy mixing and absorption, which can help minimize digestive discomfort. Some individuals may notice mild water retention in the muscles when they first start creatine. This is a normal effect of creatine because it draws water into your muscles alongside the creatine, which promotes cellular hydration.*

**When will I see results from Creatine?**  
Creatine typically begins to work within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use, as muscle creatine stores gradually increase. Some people may notice benefits sooner with a loading phase, but steady daily use (about 5 g) is effective for most individuals over time.
