How long does creatine take to work?Updated 6 months ago

Creatine’s effects vary, initial uptake is rapid (hours), noticeable strength gains can occur in the first week, while full benefits can take weeks to months. 

To maximise benefits of creatine, it is recommended to do a ‘loading phase’ where you take a higher dose (around 20g per day) for a week, followed by a ‘maintenance phase’ with a lower dose (3-5g per day).
