Do I take creatine alone or protein and creatine together?Updated a day ago
It really does depend on your personal needs. We always encourage you to start with whole food first and supplement any gap, as necessary.
With our two options of Protein + Creatine (3 g creatine) or our single-ingredient creatine (5 g creatine), you have double the chance to maintain creatine stores and supplement your daily protein intake, as needed!
The choice depends on your goals. Including protein can help supplement the gap for when you fall short during meals or snacks, but that may not be every day. Having a 5 g option of creatine provides another way to forgo protein when not necessary, but still get your daily boost of creatine. What matters most to maintain creatine stores is consistency.
Your two creatine options:
Protein + Creatine (3 g)
One scoop covers 22 g whey protein (≈2.5 g leucine) + 3 g creatine. Easy support that steadily elevates creatine stores and helps to sustain creatine stores, while supporting muscle protein synthesis and recovery from training. On the days you are not using protein to supplement the gap, the option below can help maintain creatine stores.
Creatine Only (5 g)
A full 5 g serving, great for those who want a quicker climb toward saturated stores or prefer a higher single dose. On the days you are getting enough protein through whole food and not taking the protein + creatine option above, using our 5 g option is helpful to maintain consistency each day.
