Creatine+ Power Blend

Each level scoop (6.6 g) has 5 g of creatine monohydrate. The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand (Kreider and colleagues, 2017) describes 3 to 5 g a day as the amount that keeps muscle creatine stores topped up once they are full.

The label directions are one scoop a day, with no loading phase. In the research, loading (about 20 g a day, split into four doses, for 5 to 7 days) fills muscle creatine stores faster, while a steady 3 to 5 g a day reaches the same level in about 3 to 4 weeks (Kreider and colleagues, 2017; Smith-Ryan and colleagues, 2021).

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements there is. The 2017 position stand reviewed studies of up to 30 g a day for up to 5 years and found no compelling evidence of harm in healthy people; the one consistently reported side effect was weight gain. If you have kidney disease, are pregnant, or take medication, talk to your doctor first.

Yes. A 2021 review in Nutrients (Smith-Ryan and colleagues) notes that women have 70 to 80% lower natural creatine stores than men, and concludes that women can follow the same dosing as men.

Supplements sold in Canada need a Health Canada licence, shown on the label as an eight-digit NPN. On September 24, 2026, Health Canada’s Licensed Natural Health Products Database listed no Shaklee creatine product, so Shaklee Canada cannot sell it yet. Ask me and I will tell you when that changes.
