Can You Take Creatine and Magnesium Together?

No documented interaction was identified between creatine and magnesium in the sources reviewed.

What the interaction means

NCCIH's bodybuilding-supplements page mentions 'zinc/magnesium aspartate' only inside an unrelated list of other supplement ingredients with no clear evidence of benefit -- not a claim about creatine interacting with magnesium. Magnesium's own established interactions-section record does not name creatine.

No documented interaction was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

Both substances' current sources were checked; the unrelated-ingredient-list mention was deliberately not treated as a real interaction claim.
