Creatine Blood Levels: Pharmacokinetics of Gummies vs Powder

What happens to creatine in your blood after a dose — Tmax, Cmax, and why total AUC (saturation) matters more than the peak. Gummies absorb a little slower than powder but reach the same total exposure when dosed correctly.

The 5g Creatine Rule: Why the Daily Dose Hasn't Changed in 30 Years

5g a day has been the maintenance dose for creatine since the mid-1990s — and the research still hasn't moved it. Here's the dose-response evidence, the 0.1g/kg body-weight nuance, and the gummy maths for hitting 5g.

Creatine Loading Phase: Still Worth It in 2026, or Skip It?

The 1992–1996 saturation research that gave us creatine loading is real — but modern consensus says 3–5g a day reaches the same muscle saturation in 3–4 weeks without it. Here's the chart, the science, and who might still load.

How Creatine Phosphorylation Works: The ATP Cycle in 3 Steps

Creatine works by rebuilding ATP — your muscle's energy currency — in a three-step cycle. Here's the phosphocreatine system explained simply, with a step diagram and the science from Hultman 1996 and the ISSN.
