Frequently asked questions
What is creatine?
Creatine is a compound your body makes naturally, but only in small amounts, and stores mostly in your muscles. Your brain uses creatine too, but takes it up more slowly, so it takes a consistent daily dose to support your brain as well as your muscles. You get a little from foods like red meat and fish, though rarely enough to keep your stores full. A daily 5g dose of creatine monohydrate fully tops up your muscles and, taken every day, research suggests it can also support brain creatine, where it helps produce quick energy for both brain and muscles.
What are the benefits of creatine?
Creatine is the most researched supplement in sports nutrition, and the science now reaches well beyond muscle. For the body, a daily 5g dose supports strength, power, recovery and lean muscle when paired with activity. For the brain, a growing body of research links creatine to better memory, attention and processing speed, with effects that appear strongest in women and when you are low on sleep or under stress. That is why we see creatine as a daily brain-and-body habit, not just a gym supplement.
Why creatine and electrolytes together?
Because they solve two everyday problems in one scoop. Electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium) keep you properly hydrated by replacing what you sweat out. Creatine, the most researched performance ingredient there is, supports strength, recovery and everyday output. Most people buy these as two separate tubs. MODE gives you both in one daily drink, so hydration and performance happen together.
What do electrolytes and hydration actually do?
Electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium) control how your body holds and uses water. When you sweat you lose them, and plain water alone does not fully replace them. Keeping them topped up supports hydration, energy, focus and muscle function through the day, and staying properly hydrated helps your brain stay sharp too.
Is creatine good for women?
Yes, and women may have the most to gain. Women naturally store less creatine than men, and research suggests they respond strongly to supplementing. Studies link a daily dose to strength, lean muscle and bone support when combined with training, and emerging evidence points to benefits for mood, energy and cognition, including through perimenopause and menopause. It is one of the reasons creatine is now the fastest-growing supplement among women.
Do I need to load creatine first?
No. A consistent 5g every day reaches full saturation without a loading phase. One scoop daily is all it takes. Loading is optional and only gets you there slightly faster.
Is creatine safe? Any side effects?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements in the world and is well tolerated by healthy adults at 5g per day. Side effects are uncommon. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18 or managing a medical condition, check with your doctor first, as you would with any supplement.
How and when should I take it?
Mix one scoop (10.4g) with 500mL of cold water and shake. Take it any time you will remember daily, training day or rest day. Many people make it their morning ritual. Creatine works through consistency, so the best time is simply the time you will actually stick to.
Will creatine make me bloat or hold water?
Creatine draws a small amount of water into the muscle, not under the skin. Most people notice nothing beyond feeling properly hydrated. The old talk of bloating comes from high-dose loading phases, which you do not need with a steady 5g a day.
Is there any caffeine or sugar?
None of either. No caffeine, no sugar, no crash. MODE is daily hydration and performance, not a pre-workout, so you can have it any time of day.
Does creatine support healthy aging?
As we age we naturally lose muscle. Combined with regular resistance training, a daily dose of creatine supports muscle strength, lean mass and bone health in older adults, which are key to staying strong, mobile and independent. It is a simple daily habit with a long safety record.
Is this only for people who train?
Not at all. Electrolytes and creatine support everyday energy, focus, hydration and recovery, whether you are in the gym or not. If you want one simple daily habit that covers hydration and performance, it is for you.
What does it taste like?
Naturally flavoured Raspberry or Tropical. Lightly sweet, no artificial sweeteners, easy to drink every single day.
