Why should I take True Creatine+?
True Creatine+ is our innovative ritual designed to fuel both your physical and mental performance and help to fuel your brave lifestyle.
This unique formulation combines a clinically proven dose of creatine with the addition of taurine, magnesium, and vitamin D elevating this blend’s benefits to a new level.
While creatine is well-known for boosting athletic performance, its benefits extend beyond the gym, especially when paired with taurine, magnesium, and vitamin D. Creatine isn't just for muscles—it’s essential for all energy-intensive cells, including those in your brain. By increasing ATP availability, creatine enhances mental clarity, memory, and cognitive performance, particularly during periods of intense concentration or stress.
True Creatine+ also contains taurine, a powerful antioxidant that supports cellular energy production and longevity, magnesium, the "master mineral" crucial for over 300 bodily functions including ATP production, and vitamin D, essential for bone health, muscle function, and immune support.
This combination makes True Creatine+ an invaluable ally across the life course, supporting various aspects of health, including menopause management, cognitive function and longevity. This makes True Creatine+ a superior choice for those seeking to optimise their performance in all areas of life and support daily well-being.
Do I need a “loading phase?
Historically, a creatine "loading phase" was recommended to quickly saturate muscles by consuming around 20 grams per day for the first 5-7 days, followed by a maintenance dose of between 3-5 grams per day. However, recent insights suggest that a loading phase is unnecessary. You can start with a maintenance dose of 3-5 grams daily ( True Creatine+ contains 4.5 grams of creatine monohydrate). It takes approximately three weeks to fully saturate your body’s creatine stores and you’ll still enjoy the same long-term benefits without the potential discomfort associated with higher doses.
How should I take creatine? Can you add it to your water bottle?
Creatine is best taken by mixing it with a liquid and consuming it immediately. Avoid long-term storage in liquid: Creatine degrades when left in liquid for extended periods, so it’s not ideal to keep it in your water bottle throughout the day. Mix it only when you’re ready to drink it. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you’re getting the most out of True Creatine+.
How long until I see results?
When taking a daily dose of True Creatine+ you will start to see some results quite quickly within the first week such as small performance and recovery improvements.
Within 2-3 weeks there will be enhanced workout performance, including improved strength and endurance. By this time, your muscle creatine stores are increasing, contributing to better energy availability during high-intensity exercise, improved cognition, and less brain fog.
Optimal improvements occur after 4-6 weeks followed by continued gains in performance and recovery, along with sustained benefits from the supporting nutrients. You'll likely experience ongoing improvements in your workout performance, muscle growth, and general health.
Regular exercise will help you maximise the benefits of creatine and other nutrients.
Just remember that we are all unique and some people respond differently to supplements, so may see results faster than others.
What happens if you take creatine without exercising?
While creatine is most commonly associated with enhancing workout performance, taking it without exercising still offers significant benefits. However, to fully unlock its potential, we recommend adopting an active ‘brave’ lifestyle.
Even in the absence of exercise, creatine supplementation helps increase creatine stores in your muscles, ensuring they are primed and ready for future physical activity. This can be particularly beneficial for maintaining muscle mass, reducing muscle breakdown, and supporting overall muscle health as you age or during periods of inactivity.
Beyond muscle support, creatine also plays a crucial role in brain health. It helps improve memory, reduce mental fatigue, and support cognitive function, which can be especially beneficial during menopause and as we age. Additionally, the consistent intake of True Creatine+ provides the added benefits of magnesium, vitamin D, and taurine, which together help reduce fatigue, support bone health, enhance muscle function, and contribute to overall longevity.
Is True Creatine Vegan?
Yes, True Creatine+ is 100% vegan-friendly and certified by the Vegan Society, making it a perfect choice for those following a plant-based lifestyle. Since creatine is primarily found in animal products, individuals following a plant-based diet may have lower natural levels of creatine and therefore potentially stand to gain more by topping up their levels with True Creatine+ supplementation.
Best time to take True Creatine +?
Consistency is key when taking True Creatine+. Whether you prefer morning, afternoon, or evening, taking your daily dose at the same time each day ensures your body receives a steady supply as this has been shown to support optimal benefits. Choose a time that fits best with your daily routine, whether it's before or after your workout, or at a specific time each day.
Taking True Creatine+ with a meal can enhance effectiveness and absorption as well as reduce the likelihood of any gastrointestinal discomfort. This can be particularly useful if you experience any stomach issues when taking supplements on an empty stomach.
I take medications, can I take True Creatine+ alongside?
If you’re taking any medications, it’s advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before adding True Creatine+ to your routine to avoid potential interactions.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding take it?
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, including True Creatine+. While there are emerging studies suggesting potential benefits of creatine during pregnancy, such as supporting fetal development and maternal health, the research is still in its early stages, and more extensive testing is needed. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical advice before incorporating creatine into your regimen during these periods.
Does timing Matter? I.e. Morning vs. Night, pre-post workout? With or without food?
True Creatine+ offers flexibility in timing. It can be taken at any time of day, whether before or after your workout, or at another convenient time. The most critical factor is consistent daily use to reap the full benefits.
Should I take True Creatine+ with or without food?
True Creatine+ can be taken with or without food, but taking creatine with a meal containing carbohydrates or protein can enhance its uptake. Insulin release from consuming carbs or protein helps drive creatine into the muscles. Food can also reduce the chance of gastrointestinal discomfort. The most important priority is consistent daily intake.
We hope this FAQ has provided you with a deeper understanding of how True Creatine+ can support your journey toward optimal mental and physical performance. Whether you're using it to enhance your workouts, boost cognitive function, or simply maintain overall vitality as you age, True Creatine+ is designed to meet the demands of your active lifestyle.
