Why take creatine with protein?Updated a day ago

It makes it simple! 

Combining creatine with protein makes for a powerful 2-in-1, convenient way to fill the protein gap when you fall short with meals/snacks and to maintain creatine stores daily!

Steady creatine stores help your muscles recycle quick energy (ATP) faster, so you can repeat high-intensity efforts more effectively, and you keep that benefit while stores stay topped up.

  • Performance you can feel: Maintained stores support more reps/sustained power in short, repeated efforts.
  • Consistency wins: A small daily dose (3–5 g creatine monohydrate) maintains stores; stopping lets levels drift down over weeks, so support fades.
  • Age-smart: In midlife and beyond, consistent creatine with exercise helps support training quality and functional performance.
  • Pairs with protein: Taking creatine alongside protein is convenient and may support uptake and intake habits.

Tip: Use our Protein + Creatine (3 g) for easy daily maintenance; add 5 g of Creatine on heavier training days or during your first 1–2 weeks for faster muscle creatine saturation.
