Is Orgain Creatine Monohydrate underdosed?
Verdict
20 g a dayas the label directs · studies use 3–5 g/day of creatine monohydrate
Effective doseTaken as the label directs (4 servings a day, 5 g each), it gives 20 g a day; studies use 3–5 g/day. The most the directions give is above the range studies use.
One serving gives 5 g, enough on its own for the low end of what studies use (3 g); it ranks 15th of 24 creatine supplements here by dose.
