Do You Need Creatine — And How to Combine It with Other Supplements
Introduction
Hello everyone,
Many ask: “Do I need creatine?” The short answer: not necessarily, but for many, it’s highly beneficial.
Your body produces creatine naturally, but levels can decline with age.
Vegans/vegetarians often have lower levels, as plant foods contain little creatine.
Supplementation benefits: preserves muscle, improves endurance, supports cognition, aids high-intensity training.
When you might not need it: young, active adults with adequate dietary protein may not need supplementation.
Creatine + Other Supplements
Collagen Peptides: Supports joints and connective tissue; take anytime.
Magnesium (glycinate/citrate): Supports ATP production, energy, and muscle recovery; can pair with creatine.
B Vitamins, Omega-3s, Adaptogens: Enhance energy, cognition, and stress resilience.
Considerations
Hydrate well
Check kidney health if taking multiple supplements
Dosage: 3–5 g creatine, 200–400 mg magnesium daily
