Missed a day of creatine?
If you miss a dose, keep the next step simple.
What to do next
Follow the directions on your product or any advice you have been given by a clinician. Then return to the routine you normally follow.
Not sure whether to catch up?
If you are unsure whether to change your usual dose after missing one, check the product directions or ask a clinician rather than guessing.
Make the next one easier
CreaTake can keep your intake, streak and optional reminder together in one place.
One missed log is not a reason to panic
Creatine stores change over time rather than resetting immediately. Return to the routine you normally follow, and do not improvise a larger dose unless your product directions or clinician specifically tell you to.
Use a cue, not just willpower
Pairing creatine with something you already do, plus an optional reminder, can make the next serving easier to remember. Log what you actually take so the app’s estimate reflects your record.
Make the routine easier to remember.
Log your intake, keep your streak visible and use a daily reminder if it helps.
