FAQS

How should I take creatine, with or without a meal, with just water or any beverages?

The absorption of creatine by the body requires two distinct pathways: first, upon ingestion, creatine passively passes through the intercellular space between the epithelial cells lining the stomach and intestine to enter the bloodstream.

Once creatine enters the bloodstream, it then requires an insulin response to activate glut4 transport, which shuttles creatine (and glucose) to your muscles.

For optimal utilization of creatine by your muscles, take your creatine supplement with a high carb meal/drink.

When should creatine be taken? Is it best to take creatine pre or post-workout?

Whether to take creatine pre or post workout depends on your goals, taking creatine within 30 minutes before a moderate to strenuous physical activity enhances performance and endurance, while taking within 30 minutes after strength training sessions will significantly increase your fat-free mass.

If I don't know if I will be working out when I get home after work that particular day, should I just take it in the morning and then if I do work out in the evening, can I take it again or would that be too much in a day?

Yes, you can take it in the morning and take it again within 30 minutes pre or post workout in the evening as long as not to exceed 10g creatine HCl/day (to avoid extra work load for your kidney).

Should this product be cycled? Example 3 weeks take. 1 week off.

No cycling is needed, although there is no harm if done so. Research on long term 5-year supplementation of creatine on doses up to 10g/daily has been found to be safe for the body.

Why add HMB?

HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is a bioactive metabolite formed from the decomposition of leucine, an essential branched-chain amino acid. Daily HMB supplementation is demonstrated to slow down the breakdown of muscle, increase muscle mass, and decrease muscle damage due to aging.

I got the Creatine HCL with HMB for my 84 year old mother to help build muscle mass. Is there a risk to her kidney with the creatine? She is just getting on her feet with a walker after a fall. She is starting to eat well. I want her to build more muscle.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful question. It’s wonderful to see the care you’re putting into supporting your mother’s recovery and strength.

In healthy adults with normal kidney function, creatine (including creatine HCL) is generally considered safe, even with long-term use. However, in older adults, especially those with a history of kidney issues, reduced kidney function, or medications that affect the kidneys, it may pose some risk. For that reason, it’s best to get her doctor’s clearance before starting creatine.

When it comes to rebuilding muscle, adequate protein intake is the most important factor. Many older adults benefit from amino acid supplementation, particularly from plant-based sources like pea protein, which tend to be easier to digest. Essential amino acids (especially leucine) directly support muscle building and can sometimes be a gentler alternative to creatine for seniors.

You may want to explore our SoLo Pea Protein, made from organically grown Canadian peas and certified USDA Organic. It’s unique in that it contains no added sodium from processing, unlike most other pea proteins on the market.

And of course, supplements work best when paired with movement. Even light resistance exercise—such as bands or simple sit-to-stand routines—can make a big difference in helping her regain muscle and strength.

Wishing your mom continued progress, strength, and good health.

Why combine creatine HCL with HMB?

Studies show that Creatine HCl taken together with HMB have synergistic effects: together they increase Muscle Gains and Power Output by 67% and 6.7x greater than Creatine Monohydrate alone, respectively; furthermore, they also prolong the Endurance Capacity by 14% compared to the sum of each alone.

Why less is more?

Because Creatine HCl has permeability in the digestive tract (i.e. absorbability by the body) 15 times greater than Monohydrate, only 1-2g of Creatine HCl is needed for the same effect of 5 grams of Monohydrate. No more loading phase, no more dreading to gulp down 6+ large pills of Monohydrate. Take 3 capsules of Folona Creatine HMB with 8-12 oz of water daily and see your body transform in less than two weeks!
