A note from Cynthia

Creatine works when it's boring

Thank you for your order. Your first pouch is on its way, and I'm genuinely excited for you to start.

If you've ever run out of a supplement mid-month and quietly fallen off, you're in good company. It's something I hear about all the time, and it's rarely about willpower. Life gets busy, the reorder waits, and a good habit slips without anyone deciding to stop.

I want to share the one thing I've learned from years of talking about creatine with researchers on my podcast: it isn't a supplement you feel in twenty minutes. It isn't a pre-workout. It works by gradually building up the creatine stored in your muscles, and that store depends on steady, daily intake.

When Dr. Stacy Sims joined me on the show, she made the point that it takes about three weeks of daily use to fully saturate your muscles. That's why she and I both describe it as something you take every day, not a one-off before training. Stop and start, and you never give those stores a chance to build.

This matters even more for us as women. We tend to have lower creatine stores than men. From my perspective, that makes daily consistency the whole game.

Where routines usually break

In my experience, the habit rarely fails in the first month. It fails in the gap: the pouch runs out on a busy week, the reorder sits in your cart, a trip comes up, and suddenly it's been ten days.

Having the next two pouches already on your shelf closes that gap. Each pouch is 30 stick packs, one a day, so two more means 60 more days before you need to think about reordering.

Already chose Subscribe & save? This one-time add-on doesn't change your subscription. It simply gives you a cushion between deliveries, or a supply to share. In my house, my husband, my kids and my 79-year-old mother all take it.

One stick, every day, whenever you'll remember it

No loading phase and no complicated timing. The best time to take creatine is the time you'll take it consistently. I pair mine with something I already do every morning.

Each stick is one serving: 5 g of creatine monohydrate with choline, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and L-taurine, in a mixed berry flavor.

What the first 90 days look like with a full supply

Month 1

Build the habit

One stick a day with something you already do. Dr. Sims' point about roughly three weeks of daily use to saturate your muscles is exactly why this first month is about showing up, not about how you feel on day three.

Month 2

Keep going through the gap

This is where most routines break: the first pouch runs out. With your next pouch already on the shelf, day 31 looks exactly like day 30.

Month 3

Make it automatic

By now it's simply part of your morning. You still have sticks on hand, and time to choose the Subscribe & save cadence that fits you, if you want one.

Everyone is different, and this describes the routine, not a promised result.

Will this change my subscription?

No. This is a one-time add-on to today's order. If you subscribed, your deliveries continue exactly as you chose them.

Why is it priced lower than a regular pouch?

It's the same per-pouch price subscribers pay on a 2-pouch order, offered here as a one-time charge because it ships with the order you just placed.

What if I already have enough?

Then skip this one, truly. If you ordered three pouches today, you already have 90 days of sticks. This add-on is for anyone who ordered one or two and wants to close the gap before it opens.

Can I share it with someone at home?

Of course. In my house, my husband, my kids and my mother all take it. Anyone starting a new supplement should check with their own healthcare provider first, especially if they take medications.

Is daily creatine hard on the kidneys?

It's a question that comes up a lot. As I've said on more than one podcast, if you have healthy kidneys, creatine isn't going to damage them. If you have kidney disease or any medical condition, talk with your provider before you start.

The simplest way to protect the habit

Creatine rewards consistency, and consistency is easiest when the next pouch is already on the shelf. Two more pouches, same shipment, one-time charge.
