¿Rompe Creatine un ayuno?
Creatine no rompe un ayuno cuando se usa según las indicaciones — su impacto en calorías e insulina es despreciable para objetivos de ayuno estándar.

Por qué — la lógica de calorías e insulina
Pure creatine monohydrate contains no calories, carbohydrates, or amino acids that trigger insulin secretion. It is absorbed by cells via sodium-dependent transporters rather than an insulin-mediated pathway. Creatine does not activate mTOR directly in the same way amino acids do.
¿Depende de tu objetivo de ayuno?
Plain creatine monohydrate powder mixed in water is generally considered fast-safe for weight-loss and metabolic fasting. For strict autophagy fasting, the evidence is thin either way — creatine does not stimulate the same pathways as amino acids, but very strict autophagy practitioners may prefer to take it in the eating window to be safe. Avoid creatine blends that contain sugar or carbohydrates.
