Creatine 101
Creatine, explained.
You’ve probably heard creatine works. You’ve probably also heard it’s for guys, makes you bulky, or has to be “loaded.” Here’s what’s actually true, in plain English.
The ingredient
What it is.
A compound your body already makes and gets from food like meat and fish. Your muscles hold it and use it for quick bursts of energy.
Your training
What it does.
Creatine helps your muscles regenerate ATP, the fuel for short, high-intensity effort. It supports strength and power during high-intensity exercise alongside training.*
The form
Why monohydrate.
It’s the form used in most of the research. Our starting point is a well-studied ingredient, clearly explained.
Your routine
How much and when.
3 to 5 g a day is a commonly studied maintenance range. HER FORM’s proposed serving is 3 g; HER FORM PRO’s is 5 g. Take it any time, every day.
The context
Training still matters.
Creatine is a supporting player. It does not replace training, food, sleep or a consistent routine.
Before you start
Who should check first.
Talk to your doctor before starting if you’re pregnant or nursing, have a kidney condition, or take medication.
