Creatine + Hydration FAQ
Everything you want to know about creatine, hydration, and why MODE puts both in one daily scoop.
Why do I need creatine?
Creatine is the most researched supplement in sports nutrition. It helps your muscles produce energy for strength, power and recovery, and a growing body of research links it to focus, mood and healthy brain ageing too. Most people do not get enough from diet alone, so a daily 5g dose tops you up. It is not just for the gym.
Will creatine make me bulky?
No. Creatine does not add fat or make you bulk up. Some people hold a little extra water inside the muscle early on, which can mean a kilo or so on the scales, not size. What you get is more strength, better recovery, and support for mood and cognition. For women especially it is one of the most underrated daily supplements.
Is creatine safe?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements in the world and is considered safe for healthy adults at the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or have a medical condition, check with your doctor first. MODE is made in Australia in a facility that follows strict manufacturing standards.
How is MODE different from a normal electrolyte drink?
Most hydration drinks give you electrolytes and nothing else. MODE gives you a full 5g clinical dose of creatine and a complete electrolyte blend of sodium, magnesium and potassium in one scoop. You replace two products with one, with zero sugar and zero calories.
When should I take it?
Any time that suits your day. Consistency matters more than timing with creatine, so pick a moment you will not forget. Morning, pre workout, or the 3pm slump. One scoop in water, daily.
Do I need to load creatine?
No loading phase required. A steady 5g per day will saturate your muscles over a few weeks. Loading just gets you there a little faster and is completely optional.
Is it for me if I do not go to the gym?
Absolutely. MODE is built for everyday energy, focus, hydration and healthy ageing, not just training. Office workers, parents, tradies, runners and anyone over 40 all benefit from a daily creatine and hydration habit.
Does it really have no sugar?
Correct. Zero sugar and zero calories. MODE is naturally sweetened with thaumatin, so you get the flavour without the sugar crash.
