About this supplement
Creatine and Physical Performance
Creatine is a compound produced naturally in the body from amino acids and found in dietary sources including red meat and fish. Around 95% of the body's creatine is stored in skeletal muscle, primarily as phosphocreatine. During high-intensity exercise, phosphocreatine acts as a rapid source of energy for the regeneration of ATP — the molecule that powers muscular contraction. This process supports the maintenance of physical performance during short-duration, high-intensity activities where the demand for energy temporarily outpaces aerobic production. Creatine is one of the most extensively studied compounds in sports nutrition, with hundreds of published studies and one of the few approved health claims in the EU for a sports supplement.
Creatine Monohydrate: The Researched Form
There are multiple forms of supplemental creatine available: creatine HCl, buffered creatine, Kre-Alkalyn, and others. Creatine monohydrate is the form against which all others are compared. It has the largest and most consistent body of research, the most established safety profile, and is the form used in the studies that support the EU-approved health claim. GetTested Creatine uses creatine monohydrate because it is the evidence-based choice.
The EU-Approved Claim
Creatine is one of very few sports nutrition compounds with an approved health claim under EU food supplement regulations. The approved claim — that creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise — applies at a daily intake of at least 3g. Each serving of GetTested Creatine delivers exactly 3g.

Frequently asked questions
How many servings are in the container?
100 servings of 3g each — over three months supply at the recommended dose of one serving per day.
Is a measuring scoop included?
No, a measuring spoon is not included with Creatine. A standard kitchen scale or supplement scoop that measures 3g accurately is all you need. A level teaspoon holds approximately 4g of creatine monohydrate, so slightly under a teaspoon gets you close.
Why creatine monohydrate and not other forms like creatine HCl?
Creatine monohydrate is the most extensively researched form of creatine and the form used in the studies behind the EU-approved health claim. Other forms exist and are marketed as superior, but the evidence base for monohydrate is far larger and more consistent. It remains the standard against which other forms are measured.
Should I take more than 3g per day?
3g per day is the dose required for the EU-approved health claim and is a well-studied daily maintenance dose. Some research and many practitioners use 5g per day, and a loading phase of 20g per day for 5 to 7 days is sometimes used to saturate muscle stores more quickly. At 5g per day, one container provides 60 servings — two months supply. The right dose depends on your goals and approach.
When is the best time to take creatine?
Timing matters less than consistency. Research does not show a meaningful difference between taking creatine before or after exercise compared to simply taking it daily at a convenient time. Taking it with a meal may support absorption slightly, but the most important factor is daily consistency over time.
Is creatine suitable for vegans?
Yes. Creatine monohydrate in supplement form is synthetically produced and contains no animal-derived ingredients. GetTested Creatine is vegan, non-GMO and free from common allergens.
Who should not take Creatine?
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Not recommended as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney disease, or are taking medication.
How should I store it?
In the original sealed packaging, in a dry place away from light at +5 to +25°C.
