Why would I keep my creatine levels or stores up?Updated 9 days ago
Because 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, or when not supplementing with protein for your day.
