Bite Size: The Creatine Dosing Strategy That Actually Works | Dr Tom
About this episode
Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world. Yet most people still ask the same question: how much should you actually take?
Precision Medicine Expert, Dr Tom Buckley, explains the simple approach to creatine dosing that can help support strength, training adaptation, and performance.
But just as important as knowing the dose is understanding when creatine might not be appropriate. From specific health considerations to situations like pregnancy, knowing when to avoid or reconsider supplementation matters just as much as knowing how to use it.
This Bite Size breaks down a clear, practical guide to creatine dosing, helping you understand how to get the benefits while being thoughtful about safety.
A quick, practical insight for anyone looking to train, perform, and recover better.
