What's inside, and why
Magnesium (as Magnesium Malate) 60 mg
As magnesium malate, which is gentler on digestion than oxide forms.
Sodium (as Sea Salt) 1,000 mg
From sea salt. The mineral you lose most in sweat, and the one most formulas skimp on.
Potassium (as Potassium Chloride) 200 mg
Works alongside sodium to support normal fluid balance.
Creatine (as Creatine Monohydrate) 5,000 mg
The studied form, at the dose the research uses. Nothing exotic, nothing under-dosed.
22 calories. Sweetened with stevia. No proprietary blends, no artificial dyes.

Questions
Questions? We're here to help.
When will I feel something?
Most people notice the hydration side first — steadier energy and less of that drained feeling after a hard session, often within the first few days. The creatine side works on a longer timeline. Your muscles need to saturate before you feel the difference in output, which takes roughly 2–4 weeks of daily use at 5g. Taking it every day matters far more than taking it at the perfect time.
How do I take Creatine Hydration Powder?
One scoop in 8–12 oz of cold water, once daily. Stir or shake for a few seconds — a little grit at the bottom is normal with creatine monohydrate, so top off the glass and finish it. Before, during, or after training all work. Rest days count too.
Why creatine and electrolytes together?
They solve two halves of the same problem. Creatine helps regenerate ATP so you get more quality reps before fatigue sets in. Electrolytes replace the sodium, potassium, and magnesium you lose through sweat, which is what keeps fluid where your body can use it. Training hard depletes both. This gives you a full 5,000mg clinical dose of creatine alongside 1,260mg of essential minerals, so you're not stacking two products to cover it.
Do I need to do a loading phase?
No. Loading just gets you to full saturation faster — about a week instead of three to four. A steady 5g daily gets you to the same place. If you'd rather not wait, you can take two scoops daily for the first 5–7 days, then drop back to one.
Will creatine make me look bloated?
Creatine pulls water into muscle cells, not under your skin — that's intracellular, and it's part of how it works. Some people see the scale move a pound or two in the first couple of weeks as muscles saturate. That's stored water in the muscle, not fat, and it isn't the puffy look people worry about.
Can I take it on rest days?
Yes — and you should. Saturation is what you're maintaining, and that doesn't take days off. Skipping rest days slowly drains the stores you spent weeks building. Same scoop, same time, every day.
Do I need to cycle off?
There's no evidence that cycling off is necessary. Creatine monohydrate is the most studied supplement in sports nutrition, with long-term daily use documented in healthy adults across decades of trials. If you're pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, talk to your physician before starting.
What does it taste like?
Light and clean — the mineral content gives it a subtle savory edge, which is what electrolytes taste like when they aren't buried under sugar. Cold water makes a noticeable difference. It also mixes fine into juice or a shake if you'd rather it disappear entirely.
Do I have to sign up for a subscription?
No — one-time purchase is always available. We offer subscription because creatine only works if you take it consistently, and running out mid-saturation undoes weeks of progress. You can pause, skip, reschedule, or cancel a subscription anytime from your account.
Where is it made?
Manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compliant facility. No proprietary blends — every ingredient and its dose is printed on the label.

A note from Dylan, founder
I started Nourivo because I was tired of supplement labels that oversell what's inside. Everything here is made to a standard I'd put my own name on.
