What does creatine monohydrate do?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound your body uses to help muscles generate energy. When you supplement with it, you increase the phosphocreatine stored in your muscles, which helps your body regenerate ATP faster during short bursts of high-intensity activity. That translates to more reps, more power, more output. It's the single most-researched supplement in sports nutrition -- the effects on strength, muscle mass, and recovery are extremely well-documented.*

Do I need to load creatine?

Not required, but optional. A loading phase (~20g/day split into four 5g doses over 5-7 days) saturates muscle stores in about a week. If you skip loading and go straight to 5g daily, you'll reach the same saturation in about 3-4 weeks. Loading gets you results faster; skipping loading works fine if you're patient. Discuss with a physician before loading. Stay well hydrated during loading.

Is this safe for drug-tested athletes?

Yes -- Bucked Up Creatine Monohydrate is NSF Certified for Sport, which means it has been independently tested and screened against 290 substances banned by major athletic organizations. The IOC and NCAA both allow creatine supplementation, and NSF Sport certification gives competitive athletes an added layer of verified protection for their eligibility. This is the tier of certification collegiate, pro, and military athletes look for.

Will creatine make me bloated?

Creatine draws water into muscle cells -- that's actually part of how it supports performance and cellular hydration, not a side effect to avoid. Some people notice water retention early on, particularly during a loading phase; it typically levels off as the body adjusts. Staying well hydrated throughout the day helps the body adapt more comfortably. Any weight gain from creatine is intramuscular water, not fat or subcutaneous bloat.
