Question 6

Where is Creatine Monohydrate product made?

Accepted Answer

Bulk Nutrients blends and packages all our products in our own manufacturing facility here in Australia. We source our pharmaceutical grade amino acids from China, as do 99% of all supplement companies.  See here for further information .

Question 7

Is the packaging for Creatine Monohydrate recyclable?

Accepted Answer

In theory yes, but not in all council areas right now. The REDcycle program has been discontinued, and the industry is working together to find a solution to continue recycling soft plastics. For now, we recommend checking with your local council, but most require you to put the packaging in your regular landfill bin. To reduce our environmental impact, we will no longer include plastic spoons in our creatine packages. Please use a standard teaspoon (or  micro scales  for small doses) to dose this product.

Question 8

What does Creatine do?

Accepted Answer

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective supplements that helps improve energy production ( 5 ). It is used in the generation of ATP where it donates phosphocreatine to ADP, regenerating it to ATP. ATP is the fuel used for muscular contractions in high output activities.

Question 9

What is the recommended dose size of Creatine?

Accepted Answer

A typical dose of Creatine is 0.03 grams per kg of bodyweight which is equivalent to 2.4 grams a day for an 80kg person. Most Creatine users find benefits in ‘loading’ Creatine with doses up to five times the standard dose.

Question 10

What are the benefits of Creatine loading?

Accepted Answer

Your muscles have a capacity for how much creatine can be stored ( 6 ). While approximately 2.4 grams a day is optimal for keeping these levels topped up, 'loading' allows you to reach the peak levels much more quickly than when starting with a lower dose. Think of your muscles like a Creatine fuel tank. If you load first, the tank is full, so every time you add more you are topping it up to the brim.

Question 11

Do I need to load Creatine?

Accepted Answer

Loading of Creatine is not necessary; however, it will mean that maximum benefits will be gained sooner than when no loading takes place.

Question 12

Is Creatine safe?

Accepted Answer

Creatine has been very heavily researched and is often misunderstood. There were wrongful reports of kidney damage as people weren't aware that creatine increases creatinine levels — a marker used to identify kidney health. However, there is no long-term evidence that suggests it affects kidney health ( 7 ). When it comes to using Creatine, the main concern lies with the short-term gastrointestinal issues some face.

Question 13

Is Creatine bad for kidneys?

Accepted Answer

There is no long-term evidence of Creatine having a negative effect on kidneys. This is often misunderstood as creatine use means more creatinine is produced as a by-product.

Question 14

Can Creatine help build muscle mass?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Creatine is considered one of the most effective supplements for building muscle ( 8) . It has a clear effect on power output with increases of around 10% quite common. Creatine causes weight gain both by the addition of water weight and increased muscle size ( 9 ).

Question 15

Will Creatine give me cramps?

Accepted Answer

No. In fact, evidence exists to the contrary ( 10 ). Creatine may enhance performance in hot and humid conditions by maintaining haematocrit (red blood cell ratio), helping thermoregulation and reducing heart rate.
