Who Creatine Are For

Creatine supplements are a go-to for anyone who trains hard and wants to perform at their best. Weightlifters, sprinters, HIIT enthusiasts, CrossFit athletes, and functional fitness competitors all reach for creatine as a staple in their stack. It's particularly well-suited to those doing repeated bouts of high-intensity effort — think heavy compound lifts, intervals, or sport-specific drills where explosive output matters.

That said, creatine isn't just for elite athletes. It's equally popular with gym-goers at all levels who train consistently and want to get more from their sessions. Adults over 55 who are resistance training may also find creatine a useful addition — daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in that age group². Whatever your training background, if high-intensity exercise is part of your routine, creatine deserves a place in it.

When to Use Creatine

Timing flexibility is one of creatine's genuine advantages. Unlike some supplements where the window matters a great deal, creatine works on a saturation principle — consistent daily intake is what counts most. Many people choose to take creatine pre-workout, post-workout, or simply at a fixed time each day to build the habit. A daily intake of at least 3g is required to achieve the performance benefit¹.

For those starting out, some opt for a loading phase of around 20g per day split across four servings for the first five to seven days, before dropping to a standard maintenance dose of 3–5g daily. Others skip loading entirely and go straight to a daily maintenance dose — both approaches lead to the same saturation point over time. The key is simply showing up every day, regardless of whether it's a training day or a rest day.

Creatine Benefits

Performance in High-Intensity Exercise

Creatine is stored in the muscles as phosphocreatine, which the body draws on rapidly during short, explosive efforts. It's a compound that's been studied extensively, and the evidence is clear — creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise¹. From heavy lifting sets to sprint intervals, that's the kind of output creatine is built for.

A Format for Every Routine

Not everyone wants to mix powder. Creatine gummies have made it easier than ever to hit a daily dose on the go — no shaker, no measuring, no fuss. For those who prefer complete control over their intake, unflavoured creatine monohydrate powder mixes cleanly into any drink or shake and stacks effortlessly with other supplements.

Backed by Research, Trusted by Athletes

Creatine monohydrate is the most studied form of creatine and the form found across the Myprotein range. It's a straightforward ingredient with decades of research behind it, which is why it remains a first-choice supplement for athletes across disciplines — from recreational gym-goers to competitive Hyrox athletes.

Strength Training Support for Older Adults

Research shows that daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55². For those using resistance training to stay strong and active, creatine is a well-evidenced addition to the routine.

FAQs

What is creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in foods like red meat and fish, and also produced by the body from amino acids. In supplement form, it's most commonly available as creatine monohydrate — the most researched and widely used version. Creatine is stored in the muscles as phosphocreatine, which the body draws on during short bursts of intense activity.

What does creatine monohydrate do?

Creatine monohydrate is the form of creatine found across the Myprotein range. It's the most studied form available, with decades of research behind it. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise¹ — making it a popular choice for anyone involved in weight training, sprinting, or high-intensity interval work.

What's the difference between creatine powder and creatine gummies?

Both deliver creatine monohydrate — the difference is purely format. Creatine monohydrate powder is unflavoured and mixes into any drink or shake, making it easy to customise your dose and stack with other supplements. Creatine gummies offer a pre-portioned, convenient alternative that needs no mixing — ideal for anyone who trains on the go or prefers not to use a shaker.

How much creatine should I take per day?

A daily intake of at least 3g of creatine is required to achieve the authorised performance benefit¹. Most people take between 3–5g per day as a standard maintenance dose. Some choose to do a loading phase of around 20g daily (split across four servings) for the first five to seven days to saturate muscle stores faster, before dropping to a maintenance dose. Both approaches are commonly used.

When is the best time to take creatine?

Creatine doesn't need to be taken at a specific time — what matters most is taking it consistently every day. Many people choose to take it pre-workout, post-workout, or simply at the same time each day to build a reliable habit. Creatine works through daily accumulation in the muscles, so consistency is more important than precise timing.

Can I take creatine on rest days?

Yes — taking creatine on rest days is part of keeping muscle creatine stores topped up. Because creatine works through saturation over time, skipping rest days can slow down the process of reaching and maintaining optimal levels. A standard 3–5g dose on rest days is all that's needed.

What are creatine gummies?

Creatine gummies are a chewable, convenient format for getting a daily creatine dose without mixing powder. Myprotein's Creatine Gummies deliver creatine monohydrate in a portable, easy-to-use form — making them a practical option for those who train at different times or simply prefer a non-powder supplement format.

Is creatine suitable for adults over 55?

Creatine is used by adults across a wide age range. Research indicates that daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55². For older adults who are already following a resistance training programme, creatine is a well-researched supplement option worth considering.

Who developed Myprotein's creatine products?

Myprotein's creatine products are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists. Every formula is built with quality and purity in mind, using creatine monohydrate — the most studied and trusted form of creatine available.

What is the best creatine supplement for high-intensity training?

The best creatine supplement depends on your training style and format preference. For pure, flexible dosing, Creatine Monohydrate Powder is the benchmark — unflavoured, mixable, and straightforward. For functional fitness and Hyrox-specific training, THE Creatine Hyrox is formulated with those demands in mind.
