The most convenient and delicious way to get your creatine hit has arrived. A proven supplement to help with the increase in physical performance performance 1, now comes in a zesty lemon-flavour gummy. Create Creatine Gummies are a convenient way to supplement creatine, where each gummy contains 1 gram of creatine monohydrate. Coming in a candy-like orange flavor, these gummies are vegan, non-GMO, and also gluten-free.

The added benefit is that creatine gummies taste good, so it might be easier for you to get them down than an unflavored creatine powder or capsules. Dosing and Interactions Other ingredients: Obviously, in a gummy, you’re not getting pure creatine monohydrate like you are with, for example, Optimum Nutrition 100% Creatine Monohydrate Powder. There will be sugars and fillers for taste and texture, and that’s OK. But are they quality ingredients? During testing, Kate experienced no side effects and said that the “positive effect is that I’m 5 million times more likely to take a gummy than I am to take a powder.” I concur!Rae C, Digney AL, McEwan SR, Bates TC.

They were a big hit, to say the least. There are also several general wellness and health benefits to creatine, including that the amino acid compound may be neuroprotective 6, it can fight fatigue 7, may reduce dehydration 8 by retaining water in muscle cells, may support brain health 9, and can support stable blood sugar 10. This sweet and effective formula contains electrolytes, creatine, beta-alanine, caffeine, taurine and arginine AKG – the perfect combo of sports drink and pre-workout elements to start your workout off right.

There is a misconception that creatine supplementation is only suitable for male athletes. But, no evidence suggests that women or older adults cannot take creatine safely. 11 A study of athletes who supplemented with 10g of creatine in one single serving experienced several side effects, including stomach upset, diarrhoea and burping. 10 However, if you are taking creatine in the loading phase of the cycle, splitting your intake of creatine into 4–5 equal doses throughout the day should avoid these side effects. How do creatine side effects vary between men and women? Studies have found that the loading phase can result in a significant gain in total body water 5. But, this is usually short-term and should resolve itself after a few weeks. 6Mills S, Candow DG, Forbes SC, Neary JP, Ormsbee MJ, Antonio J.
