Cut the weight.
Keep what’s important.
Every 8 gram stick carries a full electrolyte load and 3 grams of creatine monohydrate, the dose clinical research supports. It is formulated to support recovery while you are taking weight loss peptides. Flavors and sweeteners are natural, sugar sits at zero, and one box holds thirty daily sticks.
Give the work more than it takes.
A deficit takes more than fat.
When you eat less, you usually drink less as well, and a smaller plate delivers fewer minerals. Appetite suppression makes both easy to miss, because the signals that normally prompt you to eat and drink get quieter.
Creatine is a second problem, since it reaches you mostly through red meat and fish. A smaller plate delivers less of that too. Surplus closes both gaps in a single stick, so what you give up stays limited to calories.
Most sticks do hydration.
A few do creatine.
Very few products carry both at a dose that holds up under scrutiny. The table below compares published supplement facts, per single serving.

58% more electrolyte minerals
Surplus carries 1,260 mg against the 800 mg in the only other creatine electrolyte stick on the market, and twice its sodium.
The full salt-first mineral load
Surplus matches the leading high-sodium electrolyte gram for gram on minerals, then adds 3 g of creatine and 1 g of taurine on top.
Loading is optional
3 g daily is a maintenance dose by design. Take one stick a day and let saturation happen on its own schedule.
Five ingredients, every dose on the label.
Each ingredient below lists its amount and the research behind it. Drag, swipe, or use the arrows to move through the formula.
Creatine works on a schedule.
Hydration works today.
You feel the hydration side inside the first hour. Creatine takes about a month to reach saturation, so the two halves of the formula arrive on different timelines.
Hydration, immediately
The mineral side does its work from the first stick. Sodium, potassium and magnesium go to fluid balance and normal muscle and nerve function the same day you drink them.
Creatine accumulates
Muscle creatine stores fill gradually on a daily maintenance dose. This stretch is quiet by design, and the whole protocol stays at one stick a day.
Saturation, the slow way
In controlled research, 3 g daily for 28 days reached the same roughly 20% increase in muscle creatine as a six-day loading protocol at nearly seven times the dose.
Thirty sticks cover one month.
Each stick holds a single 8 gram serving, which means you tear it open and pour. The box covers thirty days, which is roughly how long creatine takes to reach saturation at a maintenance dose.

Flavor that survives a full mineral dose.
Every flavor is naturally flavored and naturally sweetened. Mix one stick into 16 to 32 ounces of cold water, and use more water if you want a lighter, less salty glass.

Thirty sticks turn into one daily habit.
Take Surplus every day, on the days you train hard and the days you rest. The full mineral load and the full creatine dose arrive the same way each time, which is what makes saturation possible.
Tear one stick
One stick is 8 grams of powder and a single serving, so you tear it open and pour. The box holds a full month.
Mix into cold water
Use 16 ounces of cold water for a fuller flavor, or up to 32 ounces for a lighter, less salty glass. Stir or shake until the powder clears.
Same time, every day
Take it before training, after training, or first thing in the morning. What matters is that it happens every day, because saturation depends on consistency.
Questions worth asking.
Why creatine, if I am just trying to lose weight?
Creatine and electrolytes work on the same system. Creatine is drawn into muscle cells along with water, and the minerals that govern fluid balance are already in an electrolyte mix, so combining them saves you a second product and a second thing to remember.
A deficit raises the stakes. When intake drops sharply, protein and total food volume usually drop with it, and muscle is the tissue most people are working hardest to keep. Eating enough protein and lifting weights still do most of the work here. Creatine is the part of that picture you can put in a glass of water once a day.
Only 3 grams of creatine? Other brands use 5.
3 grams is a maintenance dose, and maintenance is what a daily stick is for. In the study that established this, 3 grams a day for 28 days raised muscle creatine by about 20%, which is the same place six days of 20 gram loading reaches. A higher daily dose gets you to that ceiling faster, and the ceiling itself stays where it is.
Is 1,000 mg of sodium too much?
One stick carries 43% of the Daily Value, and that figure is deliberate, because Surplus is built to replace what heavy sweating removes. An hour of hard training can cost more sodium than a single stick puts back. If you are on a sodium-restricted diet or managing blood pressure, talk to your doctor before you use it.
Will creatine make me hold water or look puffy?
Creatine does increase total body water, and that is part of how it works. The water moves into muscle cells, which is a different place from under the skin where puffiness shows. A systematic review in the Journal of Athletic Training examined fluid balance and heat tolerance and found creatine safe on both counts.
Do I need to load?
Loading is optional. A loading phase shortens the ramp from about four weeks to about one, and it takes four to seven times the daily dose to do it. Surplus is built for the longer route, where one stick a day reaches the same place with a single routine to remember.
How much water should I use?
Use 16 ounces if you want the flavor forward, or up to 32 ounces for a lighter glass. More water makes the mineral load gentler on the stomach, which matters most if you are drinking it before training.
