With the Free Online Creatine Intake Calculator, you can determine your recommended daily intake of creatine monohydrate.
The calculation is based on a range between 0.5 grams and 1 gram per 10 kilograms of body weight. Creatine increases the availability of phosphocreatine in muscles which helps rapidly regenerate ATP, the main energy source for high-intensity short-duration activities like sprinting or weightlifting. This leads to improved strength, power, and exercise performance, supports brain health, and offers many other health benefits.

Is creatine safe?
Creatine is now one of the most well-researched supplements and offers numerous benefits: Increased strength, improved appearance, enhanced memory, and much more.
Nowadays, it is known that creatine does not require loading phases and does not need to be taken in cycles. It can be taken continuously without concern, whether you are male or female. Creatine neither causes bloating nor damages your kidneys (always ensure adequate fluid intake). And don’t worry if your creatinine levels are elevated in a blood test. This is normal when taking creatine and is not an indicator of kidney health. In this case, the Cystatin C value is more relevant.
