Creatine Monohydrate Loading Protocol
Nutritional Role & Bio-benefit
Creatine monohydrate is the most researched ergogenic supplement in sports science. It replenishes phosphocreatine stores in Type II muscle fibers, enabling 1-2 extra reps on heavy sets and improving power output by 5-10%. Grape juice provides the insulin spike needed for optimal creatine uptake.
How To Prepare
- 1Measure 5g (1 rounded teaspoon) of micronized creatine monohydrate.
- 2Pour into a glass of 250ml 100% grape juice (not from concentrate).
- 3Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved.
- 4Drink immediately post-workout when insulin sensitivity is highest.

Bio-Booster Cooking Tips
- Take creatine daily at the same time — consistency matters more than timing.
- Drink extra water throughout the day; creatine pulls water into muscle cells.
- Skip the loading phase — 5g daily reaches saturation in 3-4 weeks with no side effects.
