TL;DR (±40 words)
All-in-one stack you'll actually take daily: Creatine 5g (strength/work volume), Taurine 833mg (hydration & “calm focus”), Magnesium 100mg bisglycinate (relaxation/sleep), Potassium 250mg citrate (fluid balance). Splitting doses is fine, but consistency > exact timing.
Why these four together?
1) Creatine – immediate increase in gym "work"
-
Increases your phosphocreatine stores → faster ATP recovery → more reps/sets and quicker progress.
-
Most researched; works with daily intake. (5g/day is the sweet spot.)
2) Taurine – hydration and “calm focus”
-
Osmoregulation (fluid distribution in cells) + neuromodulation → feels stably alert, without jitters.
-
Interesting for heat/heavy sweating and long sessions.

3) Magnesium (bisglycinate) – recovery & sleep
-
Co-factor in >300 reactions; supports muscle and nerve function and relaxation/sleep quality.
-
Bisglycinate is known for good tolerance.
4) Potassium (citrate) – fluid balance & blood pressure
-
Sodium antagonist: helps with fluid balance and nerve/muscle function.
-
250mg in your gummies is a practical top-up; the main portion of ±3.5g/day remains from diet.
In short: creatine = output, taurine = hydration/focus, magnesium = relax/sleep, potassium = balance. Together, they tackle training quality and recovery—without stimulant overkill.
Dosage & timing (keep it simple)
Per 5 Beargymmies (daily dose)
-
Creatine monohydrate: 5g
-
Taurine: 833mg
-
Magnesium (bisglycinate): 100mg
-
Potassium (citrate): 250mg
When to take?
| Goal | Practical advice |
|---|---|
| Daily | Take 5 gummies at a fixed time (breakfast/lunch or immediately after training). |
| Pre-workout focus/hydration | Split: 2–3 gummies 30–60 min pre + the rest later. |
| Evening rest/sleep | Take (part of it) with dinner (magnesium bisglycinate). |
| Heat/heavy sweating | Drink water + some sodium; plan potassium-rich meals (potato/legumes/dairy/fish/fruit). |
Consistency wins. Creatine works after 3–4 weeks of daily use; taurine/hydration are often noticed sooner.
Who is this useful for?
-
Strength & team sports – more work volume without a complex protocol.
-
Endurance/heat – hydration and less "flat" feeling later in the session.
-
Busy schedule – 1 step you can maintain (sugar-free, vegan).
Common mistakes (and quick fixes)
-
"I don't feel anything from creatine." → Are you taking 5g daily, for 3–4 weeks? Are you drinking enough? Progressive overload? You can read our blog about creatine, why don't I notice anything?
-
Cramps/headaches in heat → continue taking taurine, sufficient sodium + water, potassium-rich meals.
-
Stomach/gut issues with minerals → take gummies with meals; magnesium bisglycinate is usually well-tolerated.
Do’s & Don’ts
Do’s
-
Every day 5 gummies; splitting is fine.
-
In heat: plan electrolytes + potassium-rich foods.
-
Caffeine? Low-to-moderate doses pre, cut-off 6–8 hours before bed.
Don’ts
-
Do not combine with ACE inhibitors/ARBs/potassium-sparing diuretics or with kidney problems → consult doctor first (potassium).
-
Do not stack pills/mixes without calculating what you're already getting.
-
Creatine only on training days – no: daily is the whole point.
Conclusion
With 5 gummies/day, you get Creatine 5g + Taurine 833mg + Magnesium 100mg + Potassium 250mg—a complementary stack that you can daily maintain without hassle. Result: better workouts, more stable hydration, and calmer recovery.
