Graded honestly
What the evidence says
A lemon drink mix with 5 g of creatine monohydrate plus 1,000 mg of sodium, 200 mg of potassium and 60 mg of magnesium per scoop. The creatine dose is the well-studied one for strength training. The sodium is useful mainly when you sweat a lot, as in long or hot sessions; on ordinary days it is extra salt that most people do not need.
How it works
Creatine tops up phosphocreatine, a reserve muscle uses to rebuild ATP, its energy currency, during short, hard efforts. Sodium is the main mineral lost in sweat and the main one that holds water in the blood and around cells; taking sodium with fluid after heavy sweating helps the body keep the water you drink instead of passing it as urine. Potassium and magnesium take part in normal muscle and nerve function, but the amounts here are small.
The dose in this product
Creatine: 5 g a day with no loading phase is a standard research dose; allow 3 to 4 weeks for full effect. The pooled trial numbers are in the Creatine dossier.
How that compares with the studiesHide the comparison
Sodium: guidance for prolonged exercise is about 300 to 600 mg an hour, so one scoop (1,000 mg) covers roughly 2 to 3 hours of long, sweaty exercise. Average sweat holds about 1 g of sodium per liter, but individuals range from about 230 to 1,600 mg per liter. The label directs one scoop every day, whether you train or not.
One scoop is 43 percent of the 2,300 mg Daily Value, on top of an average US intake of about 3,400 mg a day. Mixed in 6 to 8 oz of water as directed, the drink has roughly 4,200 to 5,600 mg of sodium per liter, far saltier than typical sports drinks (about 230 to 690 mg per liter), so drink more water with it. Potassium (200 mg, 4 percent of the Daily Value) and magnesium (60 mg, 14 percent) are too small to claim an effect on their own.
Cramps: a review found no documented evidence that sodium intake is linked to exercise cramps, so no cramp claim is made.
- Strong evidence
Supports muscle strength and repeated high-intensity effort during training
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and the ISSN position stand both conclude, from numerous trials, that creatine monohydrate increases strength and the work done in repeated maximal efforts. This product gives 5 g a day with no loading phase, one of the two standard research protocols; expect muscle stores to fill over 3 to 4 weeks. [1][2]
- Moderate evidence
Supports gains in lean body mass when combined with resistance training
The ISSN position stand concludes that creatine monohydrate increases lean body mass during training, and the NIH notes a typical 1 to 2 kg rise in body weight in the first month. Part of that early gain is water held in muscle, and gains are less certain in women, so the grade is moderate. [2][1]
- Moderate evidence
Sodium replaces what is lost in sweat and helps the body hold on to fluid after long or heavy-sweat exercise
Sodium's role in fluid balance is well established. Sports nutrition guidance suggests taking sodium mainly for exercise longer than about 2 hours, for heavy or salty sweaters, or in heat, at about 300 to 600 mg an hour; one scoop is roughly the sodium in a liter of average sweat. A modelling study found sodium replacement unnecessary in realistic scenarios for a soccer match or a marathon, so for shorter sessions it is likely a matter of taste, not need. [5][4][6]
Strong evidence: many human trials agree, at the amount in this product. Moderate evidence: human trials mostly agree, but they are small, short or mixed. Early evidence: a few small human studies or lab work. Promising, not proven.
Safety
Who it is for, and who should ask first
Good fit if
- Adults who lift or sprint and also sweat heavily: long sessions, two-a-days, hot gyms, outdoor work in heat
- People who lose a lot of sweat or see salt marks on their clothes after training
- Not the best pick for rest days or short, light sessions: plain Creatine gives the same 5 g without the sodium
Ask your doctor first if
- You have high blood pressure, heart disease or heart failure, or have been told to limit salt
- You have kidney disease or reduced kidney function (sodium, potassium, magnesium and creatine all matter here)
- You take a blood pressure medicine, a water pill (diuretic), lithium, or a medicine that raises potassium
- You are pregnant or nursing
- You are under 18
- You are an older adult or already eat a salty diet
Interactions
- ACE inhibitors and ARBs (such as benazepril or losartan) and potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone or amiloride): these raise blood potassium. Ask your prescriber before adding potassium.
- Blood pressure medicines and diuretics in general: 1,000 mg of extra sodium a day can work against them.
- Lithium: your prescriber sets how much salt and fluid you should have. Ask before adding a high-sodium product.
- Tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics and bisphosphonates: magnesium may interact with them. Ask your pharmacist about timing.
- Kidney blood tests: creatine breaks down to creatinine, the marker these tests measure. Tell your doctor you take it.
Possible side effects
- Weight gain of about 1 to 2 kg in the first month, largely water held in muscle (creatine)
- A very salty taste and more thirst, especially when mixed in only 6 to 8 oz of water
- Nausea, diarrhea or stomach upset in some people (reported with creatine, and with magnesium at higher doses)
- Sodium can raise blood pressure in people who are sensitive to it
Upper limit
Sodium: the Daily Value is less than 2,300 mg a day from all sources, and average US intake is already about 3,400 mg (FDA); one scoop adds 1,000 mg. Magnesium: the upper limit for magnesium from supplements is 350 mg a day for adults (NIH); one scoop has 60 mg. Potassium: no upper limit is set for healthy people with normal kidney function (NIH); one scoop has 200 mg.
Creatine: the sources reviewed give no upper limit; the NIH reports few safety concerns at 3 to 5 g a day. The label limit is one scoop a day.
Combining with our other products
Double dosing with Creatine: the plain Creatine tub also has 5 g per scoop. A total of 5 g of creatine a day is enough to keep muscle stores full for most people; 10 g a day (one scoop of each) has not been shown to be harmful but adds little, so use one or the other on a given day. Never follow the plain product's loading phase with this one: four scoops would mean 4,000 mg of sodium, and this label allows one scoop a day.
Magnesium: Magnesium Glycinate (275 mg) plus this product (60 mg) is 335 mg, just under the 350 mg adult upper limit for supplemental magnesium; adding Men's Multi (50 mg) takes it to 385 mg, over the limit, where loose stools become more likely. Sodium: Plant Protein adds 180 to 190 mg per serving and chocolate Collagen Peptides 120 mg.

Answers
Questions people ask
Is 1,000 mg of sodium a lot?
Yes. It is 43 percent of the 2,300 mg Daily Value, and the average American already eats about 3,400 mg a day. It makes sense when you are replacing heavy sweat losses. On days you are not sweating much, it is extra salt.
Who actually needs sodium around training?
Mostly people exercising for more than about 2 hours, people with high sweat rates or visibly salty sweat, and people training in the heat. Guidance for those cases is about 300 to 600 mg of sodium an hour. For shorter sessions, a modelling study suggests you can go by taste.
Who should be careful with the sodium?
Anyone with high blood pressure, a heart or kidney condition, or a salt-restricted diet should ask a doctor first, as should people on blood pressure medicines, diuretics or lithium. Plain Creatine has the same 5 g of creatine with no sodium.
Can I take this with the plain Creatine?
You do not need both on the same day. Each scoop of either product has 5 g of creatine, and 5 g a day is enough to keep muscle stores full for most people. Many people would use this one on long or sweaty training days and the plain one on other days. Never use this product for a loading phase.
How much water should I mix it with?
The label says 6 to 8 oz. At that strength the drink is very salty, roughly 4,200 to 5,600 mg of sodium per liter, compared with about 230 to 690 mg per liter in typical sports drinks. Many people will prefer it in a large bottle of water, and it is sensible to keep drinking water alongside it.
Will the electrolytes stop cramps?
Do not count on it. A review of sodium in endurance sport found no documented evidence that sodium intake is linked to exercise cramps; they are more closely tied to muscle fatigue from unusually hard or long efforts.
Will it make me gain weight?
Usually a little. Creatine typically adds about 1 to 2 kg in the first month, largely water held in muscle.
Are the potassium and magnesium doing much?
Not at these amounts. 200 mg of potassium is 4 percent of the Daily Value and 60 mg of magnesium is 14 percent. If you also take Magnesium Glycinate, add the 60 mg to your daily total.
