Everything you want to know.

Creatine is a compound your body already makes — primarily in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas — and stores in your skeletal muscle as phosphocreatine. It’s the energy currency that powers short bursts of high-intensity effort: the last reps of a set, sprints, jumps, explosive work. Your body produces creatine every day. It just doesn’t make enough for the training you actually do.

Women store roughly 70–80% less creatine natively than men and consume less through diet. Research consistently finds the supplementation effect is proportionally larger in women. PYRRA was built for this gap — full 5 g serving, no flavoured-down dose, no “for women” pastel dilution.

PYRRA provides 5 g per serving — one scoop, once a day. The EFSA-approved health claim — “Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise” — is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine, which PYRRA’s 5 g serving meets and exceeds.

Timing doesn’t matter. Creatine works by saturating your muscle stores over days and weeks — not by delivering an acute pre-workout hit. Pick the moment that fits your day (morning coffee, post-workout shake, evening smoothie) and stay consistent.

No. Water, coffee, tea, smoothies, yogurt — creatine monohydrate dissolves and absorbs well in almost any liquid. Some research suggests taking it alongside a source of carbohydrates or protein may improve muscle uptake slightly. In practice: whatever gets you to take it every day wins.

Muscles saturate over 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Most women notice more output in the last reps or the final sprint within the first month. Creatine is a foundation, not a stimulant — the benefit compounds over time.

No. At recommended doses (3–5 g/day), any water retention happens inside the muscle cell (intracellular) — not under the skin. This is fuel, not fluff.

The scale may register roughly 0.5 kg in the first couple of weeks from muscle hydration. That’s not fat. Many women report looking leaner over time as strength and muscle output improve.

The concern comes from a single 2009 study in rugby players that reported a DHT increase — and no hair-loss outcome was measured. Follow-up research, including a 2025 randomised controlled trial, has failed to replicate the DHT finding in women. Current evidence finds no causal link between creatine and hair loss.

In the 951 women tested across published studies, zero serious side effects were reported. Rarely, some people experience mild stomach discomfort when starting — usually resolved by splitting the dose or taking it with food. The ISSN (2023) classifies creatine monohydrate as one of the safest supplements available.

There is no EFSA-approved safety profile for creatine supplementation during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare professional before using any supplement — including PYRRA.

Creatine has no known adverse interactions with common supplements (protein, vitamins, minerals). If you take prescription medication or have a chronic condition (particularly kidney-related), speak to your healthcare professional before starting.

The research supports continuous daily use. There is no physiological reason to cycle off creatine monohydrate — muscle stores simply return to baseline over 4–6 weeks when you stop. Most published protocols use continuous daily dosing.

3 g is the EFSA minimum condition of use for the approved health claim. 5 g is the dose most of the research literature is built on — including the ISSN 2023 Position Stand (3–5 g/day). We dose at the high end of the research range, rather than the regulatory minimum, because the women we built PYRRA for deserve the full effective serving.

Because nothing should stand between you and your ingredient. Flavourings, sweeteners, and mix-in powders add mass, colour, and often sugar — all of which dilute the purity we promise. Creatine monohydrate is effectively tasteless in water and mixes cleanly into coffee, smoothies, or anything else. One ingredient. One line.

Yes to all three. PYRRA is 100% pure synthetic creatine monohydrate — no animal-derived ingredients, no gluten, no lactose, no GMO, no artificial colours, no sweeteners.

Sourced and manufactured in Germany under pharmaceutical GMP conditions. Every batch is independently tested for purity. PYRRA is registered as a Danish food supplement with Fødevarestyrelsen (Danish Veterinary and Food Administration), which covers sale across the EU/EEA under mutual recognition. UK sales are covered under UK Food Supplements Regulations via our UK importer.

500 g (100 servings) in a transparent deep-violet glass jar with a black lid and rose-gold accent band. Glass because it belongs on your counter, not in your cupboard. No plastic scoops included by policy — we’re working on a sustainable alternative. One standard 5 g kitchen teaspoon works until then.
