Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in training support. Most people know it as a performance ingredient, but fewer know that it works gradually — it needs to build up in your system over time before the effects become noticeable.
This is where 'loading' comes in. Creatine loading is a short phase (usually 5-7 days) where you take a higher dose to saturate your muscles faster. After the loading phase, you drop to a smaller daily dose — the maintenance phase.
Do you need it? No. Loading speeds up saturation, but it's optional. If you skip the loading phase and just take a steady low dose, you'll reach full muscle saturation in 3-4 weeks instead of a week. The outcome is the same — you're just using a different timeline.
The traditional protocol — if you choose to load — is 15-20g per day split into 4-5 doses, for 5-7 days, followed by 3-5g daily. But many people skip loading entirely and stick with 5g daily from day one. Both work.
Tuttibear's creatine gummies are sized for a consistent daily routine. If you want to explore creatine, just pick a serving size that works for you — loading or steady dose — and stay with it for at least 4 weeks before evaluating results.
Consult a healthcare professional if you take medication, are pregnant, or breastfeeding before starting any supplement routine.
