Creatine is one of the most researched and effective supplements for muscle growth and strength. However, many people unknowingly make simple mistakes that prevent them from seeing the full benefits. In this episode, we’ll break down the 7 most common mistakes people make when taking creatine-and how to avoid them for maximum gains. From improper hydration to unrealistic expectations, we'll help you get the most out of your supplement routine!
Key Mistakes Covered:
Hydration: Are you drinking enough water? Creatine pulls water into your muscles, so you need to stay hydrated. Aim for 8-12 glasses of water daily, with extra for heavy sweating.
Dosing: Taking too much or too little creatine won’t give you the results you’re looking for. Stick to a daily dose of 3-5g. Skip the outdated “loading phase” unless you're working with specific performance needs.
Timing: There’s no need to stress about when you take creatine. Its effects are cumulative, so focus on consistent daily intake rather than the time of day.
Expecting Instant Results: Creatine won’t work overnight. It’s a long-term game that requires consistency, so be patient as your muscles gradually saturate.
Training: Are you training hard enough? Creatine supports intense training, but it won’t help if you lack intensity or consistency in your workouts.
Nutrition: Taking creatine alone isn’t enough. Your diet needs to support your training and recovery with proper nutrients to see real muscle gains.
Storage: Creatine is sensitive to moisture, heat, and light. Always store it in a cool, dry place at room temperature to maintain its effectiveness.
