3g
The proven dose, daily
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise — the beneficial effect is obtained with 3g a day.*
175mg
Hydration built in
Sodium, potassium and magnesium in the same sachet, so replacing what you sweat out never needs a second product.
30
Built for consistency
Sugar-free, easy-mixing, 15 tear-open sachets and 30 servings a box — a habit you can keep without making supplements your life.
The Mechanism
01
Creatine alone is leaky
Creatine crosses into muscle via a sodium-dependent transporter (CRT-1). Without sodium and chloride ions, uptake measurably collapses — Dai (1999) recorded a 47% drop when those ions are missing.
CRT-102
Electrolytes open the door
Two sodium ions plus one chloride move with each creatine molecule — confirmed by Yang et al. (2025) cryo-EM. The electrolyte complex isn’t a flavour add-on; it’s part of the absorption mechanism.

Stacked, the data is louder
Hummer (2019): creatine + electrolytes drove +13.4% back squat 1RM and +26% concentric work over six weeks vs placebo. Crisafulli (2018) independently replicated +4–5% cycling power.
+13.4% 1RMHydration is half the job
2%
Body-mass dehydration is all it takes to measurably impair attention, memory and mood (Adan, J Am Coll Nutr 2012).
47%
Drop in creatine uptake when sodium and chloride ions are missing — the transport mechanism needs the minerals (Dai 1999).
60%
Higher whole-body creatine retention when co-ingested so insulin and ion gradients are working for you, not against you (Green 1996).
What you sweat out, back in the sachet
The uptake driver
Drives fluid absorption and is the ion the CRT-1 creatine transporter depends on. It’s also the electrolyte you lose most in sweat — the reason hydration brands build whole products around it.
The balance keeper
Works opposite sodium to maintain fluid balance inside cells and support normal muscle contraction — including the one that matters most, your heart.
The work-horse mineral
Contributes to normal muscle function, electrolyte balance and reduced tiredness and fatigue — and it’s one of the minerals hard training runs down fastest.
The First Month
Muscle saturation
~25%
When to tear
One scoop · 300–500ml cold water
01
Foggy mornings
Brain fuel for the hard days
Gordji-Nejad (2024): a single creatine dose before 21 hours of sleep deprivation raised brain phosphocreatine, dropped subjective fatigue and beat baseline processing speed.
02
Pre-training
Strength and power
Half a sachet in 300–500ml of cold water, 30–60 minutes before. Hummer (2019): +13.4% back squat 1RM and +26% concentric work over six weeks vs placebo.
03
Post-training
Recovery and retention
Co-ingesting creatine with carbs raises whole-body retention ~60% (Green 1996) — and the electrolyte complex keeps the ion gradients running so more of what you take lands in muscle.
04
Daily maintenance
The unsexy one that matters most
Half a sachet, every day, rest days included. The long-tail benefits only show up if you stay saturated — and the ISSN position stand supports long-term daily use as safe.
Timing
Take it at a consistent time. Most people take it in the morning, or before/after training.
Results
Benefits typically show in 2–3 weeks, with full saturation around week 4.
Loading
No loading phase required. A standard 3g daily serving reaches saturation without GI discomfort or water-weight spikes.
Creatine monohydrate is the most tested supplement in sport — decades of peer-reviewed evidence behind one effect: more output in short, hard efforts. The practical challenge was never the evidence. It was making the habit simple enough to keep. Pairing the proven 3g dose with the electrolytes that drive its own transporter solves both at once.
