I’ve been taking creatine since I was 13 years old…

Back then, every kid in the gym thought a tub of creatine was going to turn us into Mark McGwire. GO RED BIRDS!

Turns out… he may have had a little more help than just monohydrate.

But here’s the thing: creatine is still one of the most researched, effective, and misunderstood supplements out there.

And most people overcomplicate it.

You don’t need the fancy forms.
You don’t need perfect timing.
You don’t need to “cycle off.”
You don’t need to be scared of water weight.

For most adults:
3–5g/day of creatine monohydrate is the move.

If the goal changes — muscle, bone, brain, sleep deprivation, high stress, travel — the dose may change too.

But the baseline is simple:

Take monohydrate.
Take it daily.
Train hard.
Drink water.
Stop making it weird.

And yes, creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s being studied across muscle, brain, aging, and even pediatric populations. For kids or teens, that’s a conversation for parents and a qualified clinician — but the fear around creatine is way overblown.

Save this one.
Creatine doesn’t need to be complicated.
