Creatine for beginners FAQ

Is creatine safe and effective for beginners?

Creatine is a natural nutrient found in foods like meat and is also found in our muscle cells, where it's used to power high intensity muscle contractions. Creatine has been shown to be safe and effective in thousands of studies with athletes and gym users and remains one of the world's most popular sports nutrition nutrients. However, it's important to use high quality, ultra-pure creatine such as the Maxpure® creatine found in Maximuscle creatine products. This is the quality of creatine that's proven to be both safe and effective.
