When you stop taking creatine, your serum levels of creatine will start to drop, returning to baseline levels after around four weeks.[1][2][3] This length of time may vary slightly between individuals.[4] Assuming a daily creatinine elimination rate of 14.6 mmol/day,[5][3] the upper limit for serum creatine to return to baseline levels after stopping supplementation should be around six weeks.
