Creatine Do’s & Don’ts (Read Before You Take It)
Happy Supplement Saturday 👋
If you’re taking creatine — or thinking about it — this is for you. Creatine is one of the most researched, proven, and effective supplements for strength, recovery, and performance. But how you take it matters.
Here are my 3 Don’ts and 3 Do’s to help you get the most out of creatine:
❌ The Don’ts
Don’t skip a day — creatine only works if your muscles stay saturated.
Don’t mix it in hot drinks — heat can degrade it, so avoid coffee or tea.
Don’t expect instant results — creatine builds up over time, not overnight.
✅ The Do’s
Do take it daily — 3–5 grams every single day, training or rest.
Do stay hydrated — creatine pulls water into your muscles, so keep fluids up.
Do pair it with carbs or electrolytes (like salt) — this improves uptake and absorption.

Follow these simple rules, and you’ll maximize the benefits of creatine for strength, recovery, and overall performance.
Stay strong,
Coach Rob

BTW I highly recommend our WWLW Creatine + Electrolytes stack in the morning and during training for best results.
