Does creatine cause weight gain? In a sense, yes, but it's not the kind of weight gain most people worry about.
The small increase you might see on the scale, usually 0.5 to 2 kg in the first one to two weeks, comes from water being pulled into your muscle cells, not fat. This is part of how creatine works, more water in the muscle supports cell volume and performance, it's not bloating or fat accumulation.
Over the longer term, any additional weight gain is more likely tied to increased muscle mass from training, since creatine helps you get more out of short, high intensity exercise. That's a different kind of "gain" entirely.
If you want a smoother start with less of a noticeable shift, skip the old "loading phase" (large doses for the first week) and stick to a steady 3g daily dose from day one, the amount shown to support increased physical performance, and exactly what's in every daisup tablet. No powder, no scoops, no guesswork.
