help MyProtein Creatine Loading FAQ
What is the correct loading protocol for MyProtein creatine?
The standard approach is about 20g per day split into four 5g doses for 5 to 7 days, followed by a 3-5g daily maintenance dose. Splitting the doses across the day helps reduce the stomach discomfort some people get from large single servings.
Do I actually need to load creatine, or can I skip straight to maintenance?
Loading is optional: taking 3-5g daily reaches the same muscle saturation in roughly three to four weeks instead of under one. Loading just front-loads the benefits, which is why beginners often try it first.
Which MyProtein product should I buy for the loading phase?
Plain Creatine Monohydrate powder is the most cost-effective option since the loading phase only needs 5g servings several times a day. MyProtein, the UK brand founded in 2004, also sells a Creapure-sourced monohydrate version if you want the German-manufactured raw material.
Will creatine loading make me bloated or gain water weight?
Creatine draws water into muscle cells, so a kilogram or two of scale weight during loading is normal and mostly intracellular. It's one of the most-studied supplements in sports science, and the fluid shift isn't the same as subcutaneous bloating from sodium.
