Frequently Asked Questions About ON Micronized Creatine

1. What does micronized mean and why does it matter?
   Micronization is a process that reduces creatine particles to a smaller size. Smaller particles dissolve more completely in liquid, which means less settling at the bottom of your shaker and a smoother texture when mixing. Standard creatine powder can sometimes leave a gritty residue — micronized creatine largely eliminates that. It also mixes more completely into protein shakes without affecting taste or texture, which is why ON specifically notes you can stack it with Gold Standard Whey without noticing it's there.†
2. Is 5g the right dose of creatine?
   Yes — 5g of creatine monohydrate per day is the dose used across the majority of published creatine research and is the most widely recommended maintenance dose for active adults. Some protocols suggest a loading phase of 20g per day for the first 5–7 days to saturate muscle creatine stores faster, followed by a 5g daily maintenance dose. Either approach eventually reaches the same end point — loading just gets you there faster. For most people, 5g daily without loading is the simpler and equally effective approach over time.†
3. When should I take creatine?
   Timing is less important than consistency. The research on pre versus post-workout creatine timing is mixed, with some evidence slightly favoring post-workout. What the research is clear on is that daily supplementation over time is what produces results — not the specific timing window. Take it whenever it fits into your routine and you will actually remember to take it. For most people that means mixing it into their post-workout protein shake or first thing in the morning with breakfast.†
4. Can I mix Unflavored creatine into my protein shake?
   Yes — that's one of the main selling points of this product. Unflavored Micronized Creatine dissolves cleanly into any beverage including Gold Standard Whey protein shakes without altering the flavor. One scoop of creatine added to your existing shake routine is the simplest possible way to make creatine a daily habit.†
5. Does ON Micronized Creatine require cycling?
   No — creatine monohydrate does not require cycling. It is one of the most extensively studied and safest supplements available, with a strong long-term safety record in healthy adults. Daily use over months and years is standard practice. There is no established benefit to taking breaks from creatine supplementation.†
6. Is ON Creatine drug tested and safe for athletes?
   Yes — Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder is banned substance tested, making it appropriate for competitive athletes subject to drug testing. Creatine monohydrate itself is not a banned substance in any major sport or governing body.†

How to Take ON Micronized Creatine

Add 1 rounded teaspoon (5g) to a glass of water, juice, or a protein shake. Mix with a spoon or shaker bottle. Take daily — timing is flexible. For a loading phase, take 4 servings (20g total) spread throughout the day for 5–7 days, then reduce to 1 serving (5g) daily for maintenance. Stay well hydrated throughout the day when supplementing with creatine.
