Kasivit Creatine Monohydrate provides 5,000 mg (5 g) of creatine monohydrate per serving as an unflavored powder; no other ingredients are listed. Creatine monohydrate has been studied for decades, mainly in sport and exercise. Meta-analyses of randomized trials report small average gains in strength when it is combined with resistance training, while the evidence for other uses is limited or mixed. No study of this product is cited on this page.
What studies of creatine monohydrate show
-
Strength and power: small average improvements in some lifts, jump height and peak power when creatine is combined with resistance training, mostly in young males
-
Muscle mass and function in older adults: mixed results; strength gains were small and effects on muscle mass and physical function were uncertain in a 2026 meta-analysis
-
Blood tests: creatine raises serum creatinine, a marker used to estimate kidney function, without a consistent change in measured kidney filtration
-
Brain: supplementation can raise brain creatine, but systematic reviews describe the effect on cognition as equivocal or limited
The science behind creatine monohydrate
Creatine and strength
A meta-analysis of 69 randomized trials (1,937 participants) found that creatine, especially combined with resistance training, produced small but statistically significant improvements in bench or chest press (1.43 kg), squat strength (5.64 kg), vertical jump (1.48 cm) and Wingate peak power compared with placebo, but no significant difference in handgrip or leg press strength. Improvements were seen in younger but not older adults, and in males but not in females. Kazeminasab 2025 · Wang 2024
Creatine in older adults
A 2026 meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials in adults aged 60 and older found that creatine added to resistance training improved muscle strength slightly more than resistance training alone (small effect, moderate-certainty evidence); effects on muscle mass and physical function were not statistically significant. An earlier meta-analysis reported greater gains in lean tissue mass and strength with creatine, but when studies with a loading phase were excluded, creatine had no greater effect on chest or leg press strength.

Creatine and kidney blood tests
Meta-analyses of randomized trials found that creatine raises serum creatinine by about 0.13 to 0.14 mg/dL on average. In one, estimated GFR did not change significantly; in another, creatinine-based GFR estimates fell while GFR measured by Cr-EDTA did not change significantly, which the authors said likely reflects altered creatinine metabolism rather than kidney injury. Long-term randomized data beyond one year are lacking, and concerns persist about people who already have kidney disease. Tell your clinician if you take creatine before kidney blood tests.

Creatine and the brain
Preliminary studies indicate that creatine supplementation can increase brain creatine content in humans. A systematic review described the effect on cognition as somewhat equivocal, and a systematic review in older adults found limited evidence, mostly from studies of fair or poor methodological quality, and called for high-quality clinical trials.

Creatine timing
In a 4-week trial of 19 recreational male bodybuilders, fat-free mass and bench press rose over time in both groups, and no significant differences were found between 5 g of creatine taken immediately before versus immediately after workouts; the authors' magnitude-based analysis suggested post-workout intake was possibly more beneficial. The study was small. Antonio 2013
