Creatine Monohydrate
What the European Food Safety Authority and the United States National Institutes of Health have published about creatine monohydrate intake, and what the catalogue records. Reference figures and citations only.
Stacky is an organisational tool, not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, and nothing on this page says what creatine monohydrate does. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing what you take.
Published intake references
Each figure is one authority’s published value, with the kind of figure and the people it applies to as that authority stated them. Where the EU and the US differ, both are shown and neither is averaged or converted. Only a tolerable upper intake level sets a ceiling. A recommended or adequate intake is context, not a limit.
EUEuropean Union — EFSA
USUnited States — NIH ODS / IOM
“None established” means that authority examined creatine monohydrate and set no upper limit. What it published instead is below, with its own label.
Also published, and not a limit
These are the authority’s own words for a figure that is not a tolerable upper intake level. The app never compares a dose against one; this page prints it because the authority did.
To cite a figure, cite the authority’s document linked on its card, and this page as where you read it: stacky-app.com/substances/creatine-monohydrate, retrieved 13 November 2026. Every card has its own address: add #eu-none_established-1 to the page URL for the first one.

Indexed studies
A study reaches this page only if its own title names Creatine Monohydrate or one of its recorded alternative names, and does not name a disease or clinical condition. The second rule removes papers that are about creatine monohydrate; a title naming a condition beside a substance reads as a claim, and this page makes none. Titles are the studies’ own words, newest first. A study being listed is not a statement that creatine monohydrate does what it set out to test. How this list is built →

About this page
Stacky is a supplement tracking app. It renders what you take and what published sources say about it; it does not tell you what to take. Every figure on this page names the authority that published it and links to that authority’s own page.
Not on this page: a dose of our own, a grade, a verdict on whether creatine monohydrate works, or any statement that it treats, prevents or improves a condition. How these pages are built →
Figures are read from the authorities’ published tables and can go out of date when those tables are revised. If one here is wrong, tell us at support@stacky-app.com and we will check it against the source.
