The REDcycle program has been discontinued, and the industry is working together to find a solution to continue recycling soft plastics. For now, we recommend checking with your local council, but most require you to put the packaging in your regular landfill bin.

The included scoop can be recycled as hard plastic in your local council pickup.

Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective supplements that helps improve energy production (5).

It is used in the generation of ATP where it donates phosphocreatine to ADP, regenerating it to ATP. ATP is the fuel used for muscular contractions in high output activities.

A typical dose of Creatine is 0.03 grams per kg of bodyweight which is equivalent to 2.4 grams a day for an 80kg person.

Most Creatine users find benefits in ‘loading’ Creatine with doses up to five times the standard dose.

Your muscles have a capacity for how much creatine can be stored (6). While approximately 2.4 grams a day is optimal for keeping these levels topped up, 'loading' allows you to reach the peak levels much more quickly than when starting with a lower dose. Think of your muscles like a Creatine fuel tank. If you load first, the tank is full, so every time you add more you are topping it up to the brim. 

Loading of Creatine is not necessary; however, it will mean that maximum benefits will be gained sooner than when no loading takes place.

Creatine has been very heavily researched and is often misunderstood. There were wrongful reports of kidney damage as people weren't aware that creatine increases creatinine levels — a marker used to identify kidney health. However, there is no long-term evidence that suggests it affects kidney health (7). When it comes to using Creatine, the main concern lies with the short-term gastrointestinal issues some face.

There is no long-term evidence of Creatine having a negative effect on kidneys. This is often misunderstood as creatine use means more creatinine is produced as a by-product.

Yes, Creatine is considered one of the most effective supplements for building muscle (8). It has a clear effect on power output with increases of around 10% quite common. Creatine causes weight gain both by the addition of water weight and increased muscle size (9).

No. In fact, evidence exists to the contrary (10). Creatine may enhance performance in hot and humid conditions by maintaining haematocrit (red blood cell ratio), helping thermoregulation and reducing heart rate.
