Overview: Creatine Monohydrate is often used by athletes to increase both power output and lean mass. During periods of stress, phosphocreatine releases energy to aid cellular function. This is what causes strength increases after creatine supplementation, but this action can also aid the brain, bones, muscles, and liver. Creatine monohydrate can be supplemented through a loading protocol. To start loading, take 0.3 gram per kilogram of bodyweight per day for 5–7 days.
Common Dosage: The recommended dosage for Creatine Monohydrate is 5 grams to 10 grams daily in healthy adults.
