Benefits

The problem: Standard creatine monohydrate, even "micronized" versions ground into smaller particles, has a hard solubility ceiling. At room temperature, a 5g serving in 8oz of water maxes out at around 3.1g actually dissolved; the rest settles as sediment. In cold water it's worse: over 70% can remain undissolved. That's creatine you paid for and never absorbed, and it's inconsistent from scoop to scoop.

The fix: Gnarly's Instantized process goes beyond grinding. It's engineered for full, immediate dissolution, not suspension, so the powder becomes a true solution: clear, stable, and sediment-free in under 60 seconds, regardless of water temperature. Mix it into water, juice, your Gnarly Hydrate, or your morning coffee. No stirring marathon, no grit, no missed gains.

Function

Creatine works by replenishing phosphocreatine stores in muscle tissue, the fuel reserve your body draws on for short, high-intensity efforts: explosive climbing moves, sprint intervals, heavy lifts, powerful descents. More saturated phosphocreatine stores mean faster ATP regeneration, which translates directly into more power, more reps, and better output when it matters most.

The molecule hasn't changed. Creatine monohydrate is creatine monohydrate, backed by the same 500+ peer-reviewed studies that make it the most-researched performance ingredient in existence. What's changed is delivery: the Instantized process means every gram dissolves completely, so every gram gets absorbed instead of left behind in your shaker.

How to Use

Mix 1 tsp (5g) into 8–12oz of your preferred liquid: water, juice, a smoothie, or your morning coffee. Stir briefly; it disappears in under a minute.

Take daily. Creatine works through consistent saturation of muscle stores, not acute dosing. Timing relative to your workout matters far less than showing up every day.

No loading phase required, though a 5–7 day loading phase (20g/day in divided doses) can accelerate saturation if you want results faster.

Stack it: Mix directly into your Gnarly Hydrate for a pre-session combo, or into your post-workout Whey or Vegan Protein shake, or your morning Greens. Instantized means it won't change the texture or leave residue in any of them.

Gnarly Effect

A standard loading window of 3–4 weeks of consistent daily use 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.

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

Because Instantized creatine fully dissolves, dosing is consistent scoop to scoop, which means saturation happens on schedule instead of being slowed by an unknown percentage of undissolved product.

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.

I feel the difference

I appreciate the simplicity of Gnarly's Creatine - no extra, meaningless additives. And after about 2-3 weeks of regular use, I definitely notice a difference in my performance in the gym and on the bike.
