Creatine

Shop Creatine at Myprotein

Creatine is one of the most researched sports nutrition ingredients available, and for good reason — it increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.¹ Whether the goal is lifting heavier, sprinting faster, or simply getting more out of every session, creatine delivers results backed by decades of science. The range here covers every format, from classic monohydrate powder to tablets and gummies, so there's something to suit every routine.

Every product in the creatine range is developed to deliver a precise, effective dose — typically 3g per serving — in the most convenient form possible. Powder blends seamlessly into shakes, tablets slot into any gym bag, and gummies make hitting the daily target genuinely easy. Whichever format fits best, the science behind the supplement stays the same.

Who Creatine Are For

Creatine is built for anyone training at high intensity — weightlifters, sprinters, martial artists, team sport athletes, and anyone pushing hard in the gym. If the training involves repeated explosive efforts — think heavy compound lifts, sprint intervals, or HIIT — creatine is a staple worth considering. It's not niche; it's one of the most widely used supplements in sport for a reason.

It's equally relevant to experienced gym-goers looking for an edge and those newer to structured training who want to get more from the sessions they're putting in. Creatine doesn't discriminate by experience level — the performance benefit is available across the board for those engaging in short-term, high intensity exercise.¹

When to Use Creatine

The most important thing with creatine isn't the timing — it's consistency. Taking 3g daily is what drives the performance benefit,¹ so picking a time that fits naturally into the routine is the priority. Many people take it pre-workout as part of their preparation, while others find post-workout or with a meal works just as well for daily habit-building.

Some people choose to run a loading phase — typically higher daily amounts for the first five to seven days — to saturate muscle creatine stores faster. Others prefer a steady maintenance dose from day one, which achieves the same result over a slightly longer period. Either approach works; it comes down to personal preference and how quickly the full benefit is needed.

Creatine Benefits

Proven Performance

Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.¹ That's not a marketing claim — it's an EU-authorised health claim rooted in extensive scientific research. For anyone training explosively, that's the core reason creatine has become a fixture in serious supplement stacks.

Multiple Formats, Same Science

The range spans powder, tablets, and gummies — all delivering the same effective creatine monohydrate at the right dose. Whether convenience is the priority or mixing into a shake is the preference, there's a format that slots into any routine without friction.

FAQs

What is creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle tissue, produced by the body and also obtained through food sources like meat and fish. As a supplement, it's most commonly taken as creatine monohydrate — a highly researched form that increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.¹ It's one of the most widely studied sports nutrition ingredients available.

How does creatine work?

Creatine is stored in the muscles as phosphocreatine, which plays a role in the rapid regeneration of ATP — the body's primary energy currency during explosive, high-intensity efforts. This is why it's particularly well-suited to activities like heavy lifting, sprinting, and interval training, where repeated bursts of maximal effort are the demand.

How much creatine should I take per day?

A daily intake of 3g creatine monohydrate is the amount associated with the performance benefit.¹ Every product in the range — whether powder, tablets, or gummies — is formulated to make hitting that daily target straightforward. Consistency matters more than timing, so building it into a regular daily habit is the most effective approach.

What are the different types of creatine available?

The range covers four formats: creatine monohydrate powder (Impact Creatine), tablets (Creatine Monohydrate Tablets), gummies (Creatine Gummies), and a premium Creapure® option (THE Creatine). All deliver creatine monohydrate — the best-evidenced form — in different formats to suit different preferences and routines.

Which creatine should I choose?

For a no-fuss daily habit, Creatine Gummies are a strong option — three gummies delivers 3g of creatine monohydrate with zero prep required. For those who prefer mixing into a shake, Impact Creatine offers 3g creatine monohydrate per serving in a straightforward powder format, scientifically shown to increase physical performance in high-intensity exercise.¹ Both deliver the same science-backed dose.

When is the best time to take creatine?

Timing is less critical than consistency — taking 3g daily is what matters most for the performance benefit.¹ Pre-workout, post-workout, and with a meal are all common approaches. The best time is whichever fits most naturally into a daily routine and makes it easiest to stay consistent long-term.

What is creatine loading?

Creatine loading involves taking a higher daily amount — typically split across multiple servings — for the first five to seven days, with the aim of saturating muscle creatine stores more quickly. After the loading phase, a standard 3g daily maintenance dose is then sufficient.¹ It's an optional approach; a steady 3g daily from day one achieves the same result over a slightly longer timeframe.

Who developed the creatine products at Myprotein?

All creatine products are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, who formulate each product to deliver effective, research-backed doses in formats built for real-world use. Every product in the range is designed with both performance and convenience in mind, from the serving size to the format.

Can creatine be stacked with other supplements?

Creatine is regularly combined with other training supplements such as protein and pre-workout formulas. It's unflavoured in most formats, which makes it easy to add to shakes or other drinks without altering the taste. As with any supplement combination, checking individual product labels and recommended daily amounts is the sensible starting point.

Is creatine suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Creatine is naturally found in meat and fish, so dietary creatine intake tends to be lower in those following vegetarian or vegan diets. Creatine supplements — including those in this range — are produced synthetically and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Always check individual product labels to confirm suitability.
