Can you take Mass Gainer and Creatine together?Updated a year ago

Should you take mass gainer with creatine? You can, but it might not be necessary.

Both mass gainer and creatine support the same goals but use different means of assisting them. You can combine them in the same shaker if it suits you, and both can assist your muscle growth and performance. Creatine combines well with the protein and carbs in mass gainers to support your body’s energy levels and cell genetics, which can assist with weight gain(Arora, R. 2022).

But how necessary is this combination? While you can mix the two supplements, studies have shown that combining protein powder and creatine (protein powder contains fewer fats and carbs than mass gainer, which may have different effects when combined with creatine) doesn’t have any extra impact on muscle mass growth and strength(Preiato, D. 2019).

The bottom line is that while it is safe to take them together, it may not actually be necessary. If you did want to use both, though, there would be no side effects, so it would be an acceptable option.
