Creatine and whey protein are two of the most popular sports supplements, and you may wonder whether taking them both offers any additional benefits. This article investigates whether you should take creatine and whey protein together for optimal benefits. I also read other articles that claimed there is no reason one shouldn't take both together.

After some searching, I've found a government article that did a study on Creatine and Whey Protein combo benefits and they comes to the same conclusion that it doesn't provide any additional benefits. This claim is true.
