WHAT THE SCIENTISTS SAY

Creatine is the rare supplement the experts agree on.

“Creatine monohydrate is the most-studied, safest, and most effective ergogenic supplement. If I could only have a few supplements, creatine is one of them.”
Dr. Layne Norton, PhD
biolayne podcast -- 'Creatine is SAFE' Ep. 13 →
“I take creatine every day. 5 grams. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in either physical performance or cognitive performance, and certainly to anyone over 40.”
Dr. Andrew Huberman, Stanford
Huberman Lab -- Creatine: Dose, Benefits & Safety →
“Creatine is one of the very few supplements where the cost-benefit ratio is overwhelmingly in the favor of taking it. The evidence base is enormous and the downside is essentially nothing.”
Dr. Peter Attia, MD
The Drive -- AMA #69: Scrutinizing supplements →
“Women should be taking creatine. The research on cognition, on mood, on body composition, on aging -- it all points in the same direction. 3 to 5 grams, every day.”
Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD
Women's performance science
“Creatine monohydrate remains the gold standard. No other form has been shown to increase intramuscular creatine stores more effectively. You do not need anything fancier.”
Dr. Richard Kreider, PhD

“Creatine: strongest, safest, cheapest. Every supplement I review gets compared to creatine, and every supplement loses on at least one of those three axes.”
