Do I Need Creatine or Protein Supplements? Let's ask the R.D.

Social media is flooded with claims that the only way to really make progress in our workouts is to supplement with creatine, protein, and other products. I asked Stephanie, our registered dietitian, to give us the science behind these claims. What she says might surprise you!

Roughly half of our daily creatine is produced by our body, and the other half typically comes from read meat, poultry and fish. Who benefits from a creatine supplement?

Protein is stored in the body differently than carbs and fat – there’s no reserve that can be tapped into directly. This is why dietary intake of protein is essential. If I’m in my 40’s and I’m strength training, do I need a protein supplement?
