Gnarly Creatine Creatine is a peptide (a short string of amino acids) that every human produces on their own. This molecule is part of our body’s energy systems: it combines with a molecule of phosphate to form creatine phosphate, which can be broken back apart to regenerate ATP – the “energy currency” of the body.

FAQs Will supplementing with Gnarly Creatine cause me to gain weight? - Because creatine is stored in the body with water, some water weight gain is possible. Short term evidence shows some water weight gain with creatine supplementation while longer term studies show no water weight gain when compared to groups not supplementing. Is creatine safe to take? - Creatine is one of the most well studied supplements on the market. There is no evidence that even long term creatine supplementation has any negative health consequences for healthy individuals. Is Gnarly creatine vegan? - Yes, plus vegans and vegetarians can benefit even more from creatine supplementation since most dietary sources of creatine are animal-based and thus vegan and vegetarians have lower baseline levels of stored creatine. Is creatine only for weightlifters and power athletes? - Definitely not. Most any athlete can benefit from creatine supplementation. While increased strength and power are the primary benefits of creatine supplementation, research has shown creatine supplementation improves recovery, minimizes injury risk and increases endurance. Do I need to do a loading phase if I want to supplement with creatine? - A loading phase involves taking a higher dosage of creatine (~20g/day) for a short period of time in order to build up muscular creatine levels faster and see benefits more quickly (7-10 days). Creatine loading is not necessary and starting with a maintenance dose (5g/day) will get you to the same place but will require longer times to realize benefits (3-4 weeks). WHERE’S THE SCOOP?! - No, we didn’t forget yours. We’ve come to the hard decisions to ditch our scoops for the sake of Mother Nature. Losing the scoops will save an estimated 28,000lbs (that’s a Freight Ship with Rocky Balboa as the Captain) of plastic per year. It’s a no brainer for our beloved Earth. Now don’t just start pouring powder into your drinks willy-nilly. Have a regular spoon laying around? Good. Here’s the kitchen equivalent: 1 scoop with 8 oz of liquid, or 1 tsp. (5 grams) with 8 oz of liquid.
