Creatine Boost

TRADITIONAL LOADING DOSE PROTOCOL: Research has shown the most effective way to rapidly increase intramuscular creatine concentrations is via a loading method. A typical loading protocol consists of 5 grams (1 scoop) in 4-5 daily doses (4-5 scoops/20-25 grams total per day) for 5-7 days. After the loading dose is complete, a maintenance dose of 5 grams (1 scoop) once daily is suggested. Each serving of Creatine Boost should be mixed in 12-16 ounces of water. You may also mix Creatine Boost in with Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. When the loading dose is complete and you’re doing 5 grams (1 scoop) daily, on non-workout days take Creatine Boost in the morning with a little bit of food or in Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. On workout days, take Creatine Boost before strength, anaerobic workouts OR after endurance workouts. May add Creatine Boost to Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein after a strength/anaerobic workout or to Recoverite/Vegan Recoverite after an endurance workout.

NON-LOADING DOSE PROTOCOL: Take 5 grams (1 scoop) per day. Research suggests that in approximately three weeks, muscular levels of creatine will be the same as they would be after a 5-7-day loading protocol. Each serving should be mixed in 12-16 ounces of water. You may also mix Creatine Boost in with Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. On non-workout days, take in the morning with a little bit of food or in Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein. On workout days, take before strength, anaerobic workouts OR after endurance workouts. May add Creatine Boost to Whey Protein or Vegan/Plant Protein after a strength/anaerobic workout or to Recoverite/Vegan Recoverite after an endurance workout.

NOTE: If​ this is your first time using a creatine product, or if you’ve not used creatine for a long time, consider starting with one-half dose of Creatine Boost (2.5 grams/0.5 scoops) for 3-5 days to allow the body to adapt to the 5-gram amount.

NOTE: It is very important to maintain optimal hydration status all day long when using Creatine Boost. Therefore, in addition to the fluids you’re consuming during workouts, make sure to drink fluids—mainly from water—that equal 0.5 to 0.6 of our body weight in pounds. Example: 180-pound athlete should drink 9 ounces (180 x 0.5) to 108 ounces (180 x 0.6) ounces of water throughout the day, in addition to fluids consumed during exercise.
