FAQ
Will creatine make me bulky? +
No. Creatine doesn't build muscle by itself — it helps your muscles produce energy and recover. Bulk comes from heavy training and a calorie surplus. Daily creatine alone won't change your body shape.
Doesn't creatine cause hair loss? +
One small 2009 study suggested a possible link in young male rugby players. It has never been replicated. There is no evidence of hair loss in women.
I don't lift weights — is it still for me? +
Yes. Most of creatine's benefits — energy, recovery, cognitive clarity, bone density support — don't require a gym. Whether you walk, do yoga, swim, or garden, the research applies.
When will I actually feel something? +
Most women notice steadier energy and better recovery around week two or three. Creatine works by gradually saturating your muscle cells over 21 to 28 days of consistent daily use.
Can I take it with coffee? +
Yes. There is no meaningful interaction between creatine and caffeine at normal doses.
Do I need a loading phase? +
No. Daily 5g reaches full muscle saturation in around 28 days. No loading week required.
What if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding? +
We recommend consulting your doctor before taking any supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. This is standard advice, not a red flag about creatine specifically.
