Verdict
5 g a dayas the label directs · studies use 3–5 g/day of creatine monohydrate
Effective doseTaken as the label directs (1 serving a day, 5 g each), it gives 5 g a day; studies use 3–5 g/day.
One serving gives 5 g, enough on its own for the low end of what studies use (3 g); it ranks 8th of 24 creatine supplements here by dose.
Heard about 20 g a day for the brain? What the brain studies used, and why to split a large dose.
