Benefits

Gnarly Creatine is the simplest, most proven performance supplement in sports nutrition — and one of the smartest additions to any active person's daily stack. Pure creatine monohydrate, 5g per serving, NSF Certified for Sport. No fillers, no flavors, no nonsense. Just one of the most researched compounds in human performance, dosed correctly, in a formula you can trust.

  • 5g of pure creatine monohydrate per serving — the most researched performance ingredient in existence
  • Supports strength, power, recovery, and emerging evidence suggests cognitive benefits as well
  • NSF Certified for Sport — clean, tested, independently verified every batch

Function

Creatine works by replenishing phosphocreatine stores in muscle tissue — the primary fuel reserve for short, high-intensity efforts lasting under 10 seconds. Think explosive climbing moves, sprint intervals, heavy lifts, powerful descents. When phosphocreatine stores are saturated, your muscles can regenerate ATP (the energy currency that powers all muscular contraction) faster and more efficiently, translating directly into more power, more reps, and better performance output.

The research on creatine monohydrate is extensive and unambiguous — over 500 peer-reviewed studies support its efficacy for improving strength, power, and recovery. It also supports lean muscle growth by enabling greater training volume and intensity over time. More recently, emerging research has identified potential cognitive benefits, including improved working memory and reduced mental fatigue — relevant for the technical demands of outdoor pursuits like route-finding and technical climbing.

Creatine causes normal, temporary water retention within muscle cells during the first 1–2 weeks of use. This is a sign that your muscles are loading creatine effectively — it is not fat gain, and it resolves as supplementation continues.

Gnarly Creatine is pure creatine monohydrate — unflavored, instantly dissolving, and easy to mix into any liquid. It requires no cycling, no complex timing protocols. Just 5g daily, every day.

How to Use

Mix 1 teaspoon (5g) into 8–12 oz of your preferred beverage — water, juice, a smoothie, or alongside your Gnarly Hydrate or Protein. Stir or shake until fully dissolved.

Take daily — creatine works through consistent saturation of muscle stores, not acute dosing. Timing relative to workouts is flexible; daily consistency matters more than timing.

No loading phase is required, though a 5-7 day loading phase (20g/day in divided doses) can accelerate the saturation timeline if desired.

Stack: Combine with Gnarly Hydrate pre-session and Gnarly Whey or Vegan Protein post-session for a complete performance and recovery system.

Ingredients

Active Ingredients: Creatine Monohydrate (5g)

Other Ingredients: None

Gnarly Effect

A standard loading phase of 3–4 weeks of consistent daily supplementation is required to fully saturate muscle creatine stores before peak performance benefits are measurable.

Most athletes notice improved training performance — more reps, better power output, faster recovery between high-intensity sets — within 3–5 weeks of consistent use alongside regular training.

Results vary depending on training type, baseline creatine levels (vegetarians and vegans typically see larger improvements), diet, and individual physiology. Long-term benefits are best achieved with uninterrupted daily use. May include increased strength and power output, improved high-intensity performance capacity, faster intra-session recovery, and emerging cognitive benefits with consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

No fine print, no confusion. These are the questions we hear most about our products, our standards, and how Gnarly fits into real training days.

Will supplementing with Gnarly Creatine cause me to gain weight?

Because creatine is stored in the body with water, some water weight gain is possible. Short term evidence shows some water weight gain with creatine supplementation while longer term studies show no water weight gain when compared to groups not supplementing.

Is creatine safe to take?

Creatine is one of the most well studied supplements on the market.  There is no evidence that even long term creatine supplementation has any negative health consequences for healthy individuals.

Is Gnarly creatine vegan?

Yes, plus vegans and vegetarians can benefit even more from creatine supplementation since most dietary sources of creatine are animal-based and thus vegan and vegetarians have lower baseline levels of stored creatine.

Is creatine only for weightlifters and power athletes?

Definitely not. Most any athlete can benefit from creatine supplementation. While increased strength and power are the primary benefits of creatine supplementation, research has shown creatine supplementation improves recovery, minimizes injury risk and increases endurance.

Do I need to do a loading phase if I want to supplement with creatine?

A loading phase involves taking a higher dosage of creatine (~20g/day) for a short period of time in order to build up muscular creatine levels faster and see benefits more quickly (7-10 days). Creatine loading is not necessary and starting with a maintenance dose (5g/day) will get you to the same place but will require longer times to realize benefits (3-4 weeks).

I lost my scoop!

One serving of Gnarly Creatine is 5g. 5g of powder is approximately 1 teaspoon.

Where’s the scoop?!

No, we didn’t forget yours. We’ve come to the hard decisions to ditch our scoops for the sake of Mother Nature.

Losing the scoops will save an estimated 28,000lbs (that’s a Freight Ship with Rocky Balboa as the Captain) of plastic per year. It’s a no brainer for our beloved Earth.

Now don’t just start pouring powder into your drinks willy-nilly. Have a regular spoon laying around? Good. Here’s the kitchen equivalent:

2 scoops with 10-12 oz of liquid, or 1/3 cup (50 grams) with 10-12 oz of liquid.
