too much creatine?
Hey Guys and Gals,
I just wanted to throw this at yall,, see what yall think. (Please note that I am not a newcommer when it comes to creatine)..
Anyways heres the questions.
I am taking Phosphagen HP(which I seen great results in the past from this product).
The loading phase asks for 1 scoop 4 times a day
1 scoop =
Calories 140
34G Carb
33G Sugars
200 MG Phosphorus
60 MG Magnesium
95 MG Sodium
80 MG Potasium
5.25 G Creatine Monohydrate
Taurine 1G
I am currently taking 2 scoops(double the amount) 4 times a day
thats 42G of Creatine Monohydrate a day....
"Keep in mind I am 230LBS and drink about 1.5 Gallons of water a day, and constantly going to the bathroom"
Now I know I heard some people doubling the dose of creatine and seeing great results from it. But from my information listed, is it too much(for my kidneys)?
Thanks,
Bobby

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Im a bit more worried about what kind of effect that the 264g of sugar is having... However, the 42g of monohydrate would turn me into a giant squishy balloon, I dont know about yourself, though.
