1. Creatine Is Not a Stimulant
In Ben's viral video, he said he “started getting super shaky” and felt like he “had tremors” after taking a high dose of creatine before his final round.
While we love Ben’s commitment to creatine supplementation, creatine doesn’t cause jitters. That’s a side effect of stimulants like caffeine or preworkout, not creatine.
Creatine fuels energy naturally by boosting ATP—your body’s main energy source—without the crash. Caffeine, on the other hand, doesn’t create energy; it just blocks adenosine in the brain, making you feel more awake (and yes, too much can lead to jitters and a crash).
2. The Body Self-Regulates Excess Creatine
Your muscles have a natural “storage cap” for creatine. Once those stores are full, any extra you take isn’t absorbed—it’s simply excreted through the kidneys.
This makes creatine one of the most forgiving supplements out there: taking more than your body can use doesn’t overload your system in the way caffeine or stimulants can.
At worst, an unusually high dose might cause mild stomach discomfort—not tremors or shakiness.
3. Creatine is Backed by Decades of Safety Research
Creatine is one of the most studied sports supplements in history, with hundreds of clinical trials supporting its effectiveness and safety.
Research consistently shows that even at higher doses than the daily recommended amount, healthy adults tolerate it without issues. No evidence points to tremors, jitters, or “overdose” symptoms.
What Ben described sounds much closer to too much caffeine or very natural final round nerves.
4. No Known Link to Nervous System Side Effects
Creatine’s mechanism of action is cellular energy support, not stimulation of the central nervous system.
Unlike caffeine, there’s no evidence that creatine causes tremors, shakes, or anxiety-like symptoms. If you’re shaky on the golf course, it’s almost certainly something else.
5. Widely Used — and Trusted — by Athletes
From professional golfers to Olympians, millions of athletes use creatine daily without issue. If creatine caused “overdose symptoms” like jitters, it wouldn’t be the most widely researched and trusted supplement in sports nutrition.
On top of that, Create is NSF Certified for Sport, the gold standard in third-party testing. That’s why athletes like Ben Griffin choose it—because it’s clean, safe, and trusted on the biggest stages.

Frequently asked questions
What is Creatine?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in certain foods and synthesized by the body. It plays a crucial role in rapid energy production during high-intensity, short-duration activities like weightlifting and sprinting. Supplementing with creatine has been extensively studied and shown to increase muscle strength, size, and performance. Create Wellness Creatine Gummies provide a convenient and tasty way to supplement with this powerful compound.
What is the best way to take Create Core Creatine Gummies?
For optimal results, we recommend taking 2-3 gummies daily. You can take them any time of day, but many users prefer taking them before or after their workout. Consistency is key with creatine supplementation, so try to take them at the same time each day. There's no need for a loading phase with our gummies, but you may increase the dosage for more intense training periods if desired.
