Creatine
+ What is creatine?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscles and the brain. Creatine boosts our bodies' ability to produce ATP (the energy currency of our cells). It’s also one of the most researched and effective supplements for improving strength, muscle recovery, cellular hydration, and cognitive function.
+ What are the benefits of creatine?
Creatine is one of the most well-researched nutritional supplements in the world. Benefits include increased strength, quicker recovery, improved cellular hydration, more energy, improved memory, and enhanced cognition.
+ When should I take creatine?
You can take creatine at any time of the day, as long as you’re consistent. You can take it either on an empty stomach or with food. Many people prefer taking it first thing in the morning, around workouts, or before bed, but daily intake matters more than timing.
+ When will I see results?
Merlin customers typically report seeing results after 2-3 weeks of consistent use. Consistent daily use is essential for the best results.
+ Is creatine just for athletes / bodybuilders?
No! While creatine was originally popularized by athletes and bodybuilders, it’s also great for anyone looking to improve their energy levels, strength, endurance, or even cognitive function.
+ Can women take creatine?
Yes! Women typically have ~75% less creatine naturally stored than men and can benefit even more from creatine supplementation than men.
+ Is creatine safe?
Yes, creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements in the world. It has been granted Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), meaning it is considered safe for consumption at recommended doses.
+ Can I take creatine while pregnant / breastfeeding?
While creatine is generally considered safe and has GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status from the FDA, research on its use during pregnancy is still limited. Some studies suggest potential benefits for both the mother and baby, but more research is needed. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to consult your doctor before taking creatine or any supplement.
+ Is creatine safe for children?
The FDA has granted creatine GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status, meaning it is considered safe for consumption, however, we don't recommend anyone under the age of 18 take creatine or any other dietary supplement without first consulting with a medical professional.

Product
+ Do I need to take Merlin everyday?
Yes, taking Merlin daily is recommended to experience its benefits fully. Consistency is key when it comes to creatine and daily consumption helps you maximize the strength, recovery, and mental benefits.
+ How many gummies should I take each day?
We recommend taking 3 gummies daily for 3.75g of total creatine.
+ How much comes in each package?
Each package contains 90 gummies which is a 30-day supply.
+ Are the gummies vegan?
Yes, Merlin's creatine gummies are 100% vegan. They're made with carefully sourced, plant-based ingredients—no gelatin or animal products involved. So whether you're vegan or just looking for a clean, ethical supplement, you're good to go.
+ Do I need to load / “cycle” Merlin?
No! You don’t need to load or cycle creatine to see results. The “loading phase” (taking a higher dose for a few days) can help saturate your muscles faster, but it’s not necessary with Merlin. With consistent daily use of Merlin, your muscles will gradually reach full saturation in a few weeks. Creatine is safe to take everyday—no cycling or complicated schedules required.

Merlin creatine infused gummies are formulated with creatine monohydrate, the most researched and effective form of creatine available.

+ What are the ingredients in Merlin?
Each gummy contains 1.25g of creatine monohydrate.
Full Ingredient List: Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Cane Sugar, Water, Pectin, Natural Raspberry Flavor, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Guar Gum, Red Radish & Red Carrot Extracts (for Color).
