You Should Probably Be Taking Creatine <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creatine is a compound produced in the body from three amino acids (arginine, glycine, and methionine) that supports energy production. The liver, kidneys, and pancreas work together to naturally create about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1756464621002176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one gram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of this invigorating ingredient each day. It can also be consumed through food\u2014particularly animal-based sources, such as meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, and dairy products like milk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, “supplementing with creatine can support muscle recovery and performance, which may help reduce training-related strain,” says registered dietitian <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mallory.aldred\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mallory Aldred<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, R.D., founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/whatmalloryeats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Mallory Eats<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Regular supplementation can also support lifting PRs and one-rep maxes, as well as fat-free mass gain, according to a 2021 review in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2072-6643\/13\/6\/1915\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrients<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/which-creatine-supplement-is-right-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Which Creatine Supplement Is Right For You?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creatine has also been shown to support <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7916590\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cognitive health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31257405\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bone strength<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6518405\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">balance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can contribute to overall mobility and independence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Take Creatine Properly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creatine isn’t a finicky supplement. It can be taken any time of the day and doesn’t need to be consumed with other ingredients or food, according to Aldred. It is perfectly safe to take on an empty stomach. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“The most important thing with a creatine supplement is to consistently take it daily,” she says. “If mornings are more convenient for you, stick with that.\u201d If it’s easier for you to add it to your pre- or post-workout shake, that’s okay, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for how much to take? “The standard, recommended dosage for both men and women is 5g per day,” says Aldred. Though some people choose to jumpstart supplementation with a <a href=\"http:\/\/is produced from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine\">loading phase<\/a>, which involves taking 20 to 25 grams per day, spread out over 5 to 7 days, she explains.. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theory behind a loading phase is that it saturates the muscles with the compound faster so that you can start reaping the benefits of creatine even sooner. However, “a loading phase really is not necessary for the everyday athlete looking to build muscle mass or a person interested in the brain health benefits,” she says. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Creatine Gummies Compare to Other Creatine Supplements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most\u2014if not all\u2014of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12970-021-00412-w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">500 peer-reviewed publications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about creatine look specifically at creatine powder. There is very limited research on creatine gummies, as the form is still new to the market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/hack-sleep-for-muscle-gains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Hack Your Sleep For More Muscle Gains<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While more research is needed on gummy forms, specifically, third-party tested gummies with creatine monohydrate may offer similar benefits to powders, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5469049\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Society of Sports Nutrition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, the best type of creatine for you is the one that you will take the most consistently, says Aldred. For some people, creatine gummies will be easier to take every day because they are travel-friendly and tasty. “A creatine gummy can taste like a little treat, making it much easier to take on a daily basis compared to a pill or powder,” she says. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One potential downside of creatine gummies is that they contain more calories and sugar than creatine powders, which are typically calorie- and sugar-free. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/creatine-gummies-watermelon-150-gummies\/leg-15354\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legion Creatine Gummies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example, have 70 calories and 8 grams of sugar per serving, while <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/creatine-monohydrate-gummies-mixed-berry-150-gummies\/hfm-12579\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Force Factor Creatine Monohydrate Gummies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contain 40 calories and 5 grams of sugar. Although the sugar and calorie content is minimal, it’s worth noting for anyone with weight loss or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/tips-for-body-recomposition\/\">body recomposition goals<\/a>. Aldred notes that if you are looking to lean out <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> want to take creatine gummies, it may be best to consume them prior to physical activity so that you can utilize the sugar content as fuel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s also worth noting that creatine gummies have a slightly higher price per serving than creatine powders. While a serving of creatine gummies typically costs between $1.00 and $2.00, a single serving of creatine powder usually costs around $0.50. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>My Review of Legion Creatine Gummies <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I chose to supplement with Legion Creatine Gummies because each serving contains 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, while some other options contain less than that optimal dose. Plus, as a child of the 90s, I’m partial to sour gummies and Legion carries a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sour-flavored<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> creatine gummy.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, because I’m particular about what I put in my body, I appreciate that Legion’s version is free of artificial fillers, food dyes, and other chemical additives, and is made in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities, as well as tested by an ISO 17025-accredited third-party laboratory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what’s my verdict? Creatine gummies rule. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I’m no creatine newbie\u2014I’ve been religiously supplementing with 5 grams daily for the better part of the last decade\u2014so, I didn’t reap any additional benefits from supplementing with the gummy form rather than the powder form. (Though, if you aren’t consistent about taking creatine in powder or pill form, you could!) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the product absolutely added more fun and flavor to my long-time habit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Drinking a bland shaker of creatine powder every day had all the excitement of reheating plain chicken for the third night in a row. (In other words: zero.) But swapping it for a handful of sour watermelon gummies? Total game-changer. Suddenly, this daily habit felt more like a treat than a task\u2014and for all 30 days, I actually looked forward to it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also appreciated how much easier (and less suspicious) it is to travel with a baggie of creatine gummies than with a Ziplock of white powder. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My only note with creatine gummies is that while they may not get mixed into a liquid, they should still be taken with a glass of water. I took the gummies without water on the first two days and felt exceptionally thirsty for the rest of the day. Aldred explains that creatine increases water retention in muscle cells and, therefore, should be taken with fluids, no matter the form. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Should You Try Creatine Gummies?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I’ve long recommended creatine supplementation for people with almost <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">any<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> health or fitness goal. But now that I have first-hand proof of how convenient, tasty, and easy creatine gummies make taking the superstar supplementation, I’m an especially big fan of this emerging form. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who have previously struggled to take another creatine powder consistently, have a sweet tooth, or travel frequently may be especially well-suited to creatine gummies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go on, buy the flavor that makes your mouth water\u2014your muscles will thank you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a CrossFit coach, fitness journalist, and self-identified Muscle Mommy, I am both personally and professionally passionate about getting stronger and helping others do the same.
