Mix 5g (one scoop) of micronized creatine monohydrate in water or juice daily. The clinically backed dose for full muscle saturation, strength, and power output gains. Take post-workout with a carb source for best absorption, or anytime. The 500g tub provides 100 servings, roughly three months daily.

All three work. Water is simplest. Juice adds carbs and insulin spike which improves creatine uptake into muscle by roughly 20 percent. Mixing into your post-workout protein shake combines protein, carbs, and creatine in one delivery. Use whatever fits your routine. Daily consistency beats perfect mixing strategy.

No cycling needed. Decades of research show daily creatine is safe long-term with no benefit to taking breaks. Once your muscles are saturated they stay that way as long as you keep dosing. Stop and levels drop back to baseline within 4 to 6 weeks. Stay on it.

Animal Creatine is micronized for better solubility, 100 percent pure creatine monohydrate with no fillers, GMP-certified, and third-party tested for purity. Backed by the Animal brand since 1983. You can buy cheaper creatine, but you will not get this level of quality control at a lower price point.

Rare with micronized creatine at the 5g daily dose. The micronization process reduces particle size for easier absorption, eliminating most digestive issues. If you experience discomfort, split the dose into two 2.5g servings, take with food, and increase water intake. Loading phases trigger this more than maintenance dosing.
