CreatineIQ

About CreatineIQ

When I began using creatine, the stomach discomfort from rigid, one-size-fits-all loading regimens made it hard to stay consistent. Online calculators didn't allow customizing daily dose limits or loading duration to fit personal tolerance—so CreatineIQ was created to solve that problem.

Conventional dosing advice ignores key personal variables: lean body mass, body fat percentage, dietary creatine intake, exercise intensity, and cognitive energy demands. CreatineIQ provides a science-backed, highly customizable calculator tailored to your unique body and performance goals.

Our Calculation Frameworks

1. Musculoskeletal Performance

  • Standard: Straightforward calculations based on overall body weight for standard loading and maintenance schedules.
  • Tailored: Uses Lean Body Mass (or computes it from Body Fat %) and customizable daily dose limits to prevent GI discomfort while calculating exact loading days.
  • Optimal: Incorporates dietary baselines (vegan, flexitarian, carnivore), training intensity, and body composition to model tissue saturation with precision.

2. Brain Health & Cognitive Protocols

Creatine is vital for brain bioenergetics. CreatineIQ provides evidence-aligned protocols derived from published clinical and neurological literature:

  • Cognition & Memory: Protocols designed to support short-term memory, reasoning, and mental processing speed.
  • Sleep Deprivation & Fatigue: Acute dosing strategies to mitigate psychomotor vigilance drops and cognitive decline during severe sleep loss.
  • Concussion & Mild TBI Recovery: Weight-adjusted dosing schedules designed to support brain energy reserves during post-injury metabolic crises.
  • Specialized Health Support: Evidence-backed guidance for healthy aging, menopause cognitive clarity, Alzheimer's bioenergetic support, and MDD adjunctive mood support.

Science, Transparency & Privacy

We believe in full transparency. All calculation formulas are grounded in peer-reviewed clinical and sports nutrition research. You can explore the studies and mathematical models behind our algorithms on our Scientific Citations page.

Your privacy is guaranteed by design. All calculations run 100% locally in your browser—your body composition and health parameters are never sent to or stored on external servers.
