creatine with magnesium+ is conveniently proportioned into individual stick packs. It’s designed to be taken daily, but how many servings you take depends on your individual needs and your goals. One is great for overall muscle health and recovery. For additional cognitive and bone health support, consider taking two a day.*  

You can take creatine with magnesium+ anytime of day on a full or empty stomach—what’s most important is consistency (aka daily use) over time. Some people choose to take it pre-workout to fuel exercise, whereas others prefer it in a recovery meal or shake. Either works! It’s important to take creatine even on rest and recovery days. 

Is creatine with magnesium+ third-party tested? 

Yes, each product in our portfolio (including creatine with magnesium+), is third-party tested for purity and potency by ISO-certified labs.

Both formulas provide 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per serving to support muscle strength and performance.* The key differences are in the complementary nutrients: 

creatine with taurine+ features 2 grams of taurine per serving. Taurine is an amino acid that helps support electrolyte balance, muscle recovery, and vascular function.* 

creatine with magnesium+ features 100 mg of magnesium per serving, a mineral critical for over 300 chemical reactions in the body, including those related to muscle function, cellular energy production, and recovery. Magnesium also plays a role in supporting absorption and utilization of creatine by your muscles.* 

If you’re looking for a well-rounded option for daily energy, muscle performance, and recovery, creatine with magnesium+ is a great go-to.* 

That said, both formulas are research-backed and effective, and you can use them together if it fits your routine and preferences. For example, some people choose creatine with magnesium+ for everyday support and rotate in creatine with taurine+ on heavier exercise days. 

Creatine may cause some people—but not everyone—to retain water, and this may lead to feeling full or puffy. But it is not the same as bloating caused by intestinal distress, like trapped gas.

Studies show this water retention is temporary and subsides as your body adjusts to the supplementation. For many, this is often within a few days to a week. 

To help your body get adjusted to creatine and prevent the likelihood of bloating, start with just 1 stick pack a day. Once you're adjusted, consider increasing your dose.
