You’ve probably seen everyone online taking creatine…
but here’s what most people aren’t talking about. 👇
Creatine can improve strength, muscle recovery, and energy, but it isn’t for everyone.
While most people tolerate it well, creatine can raise water retention inside the cells, which for some individuals may temporarily impact blood pressure, kidney load, or electrolyte balance.
You should be cautious with creatine if you have:
✔️ Uncontrolled or high blood pressure
✔️ Kidney issues or reduced kidney function
✔️ Dehydration or low electrolyte intake
✔️ Cardiovascular disease or family history
✔️ A high-protein diet with poor hydration
If you’re cleared to use it safely, here’s what actually works:
→ Take creatine after your workout, when muscles absorb nutrients the best
→ Most women only need 3g daily; men typically respond well to 5g
→ Mix with water or a carb source for smoother absorption
→ No loading phase needed
→ Consistency > dose — that’s where the benefits come from
Creatine can be helpful, but only if your body, kidneys, and blood pressure can handle it.
If you’re unsure whether creatine is right for you, we can help you look at your labs, blood pressure patterns, kidney markers, hydration status, and metabolic health before starting anything new.
