Creatine, pre-workout and performance supplements

Do not use a generic sports-supplement rule: the exact ingredients, amount, reason and contamination controls matter.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Bring the full label to a doctor or pharmacist. Products with stimulant blends or undisclosed proprietary mixtures are especially difficult to assess.

What changes the answer

  • The exact ingredients and caffeine or alcohol shown on the label
  • Serving size and what else you have had across the whole day
  • Whether vomiting, diabetes, dehydration or another condition changes the plan

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
