massive amounts of creatine info on her bro...use das search

but 5-15mg of mono a day should do, or you could load (depending when you started with 20-30mg a day for four to 7 days to saturate your muscles with creatine, mixed with some sort of juice or gatorade (creatine is best taken with a form of glucose for absorbtion)..after a week take regular 5-15g per day. studies found that best time to take it was about 30 mins before training.

take only 5grams at a time and like the guy above me said load as he said and take with grape drink, not grape juice its all sugar. and dextrose. i use it alot but cycle it every 6 wks then off for 8 wks. but always with grape drink and dextrose powder u can get at any health food store for a few buckes for alot of powder.

i have been mixing mine in with my protein shake when i wake up does this mean its been going to waste?

 

[MDR]

I'm with Unclem. Five works fine for me, and I use it with dextrose. only difference being I don't cycle off.

loading is unnecessary. there is some merit to taking it with a carb source, as long as it is high gi, then it doesnt really matter which. ~5g a day should do, once your body reaches saturation levels you could lower it as more does nothing at that point.

I use 5g a day in my pre-workout shake. Simple and effective.

 

[dsc123]

Is there anything wrong with putting it in with 2 scoops of whey protein and 500 ml of water? Should I drop down to 5g then?

whats wrong is you're pissing most of it out . . read the replies Numbnuts!!

 

[dsc123]

drinking it with protein shake ????

drinking it with protein shake ????

Fine to put it in a protein shake-just that some of us were saying that 10 might be a bit high. Five works well for me. But if someone wants to take ten, it'll just double their creatine bill for the year. Not exactly breaking the bank.

5 grams a day, probably better utilized in a POST workout shake or with a post workout meal in my opinion.

to the guy mentioning "grape drink" above: Everyone's definition of grape drink is different, based on what is availablee to them.

i use kreakalyn at 2 pills before workout 2 pills after it's ph buffered or some shit microdosed it works pretty well for me good pumps

What he said! I take closer to 3-4 after saturation and never pre-load. Studies show that after 3 weeks levels are the same whether you pre-load or not.
Honestly, I cant believe people still ask questions about creatine in forums with all the info out there. It is the most studied supplement ever.

Hey guys,I have heard that anymore then 5g a day is a waste,because of how much ur body produces...has anyone heard that before,I forget were i read it,but there was more to it..

Any more than 5 g a day and I get the shits real bad. So for me its a waste to consume anymore than that.

no the grape drink they sell at all grocery stores in the usa i think. but theres juice, all sugar and drink is more expensive. thats me though i know nothing. but since knowing nothing, i would only use 5 gr ed or its a waste.

What's a form of creatine that doesn't need any carbs?

I'm on a low-carb diet

Does CEE absorb as-is ???

 

[Built]

They all absorb as-is. They just get taken up better and faster with insulin. Milk proteins are insulinemic - if you're eating cottage cheese or whey, maybe take it then. Or perhaps with leucine.

HMM I DONT SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. OR YOU CAN SPLIT IT UP, TAKE 5G BEFORE AND 5G AFTER WORKOUT

I belive if you load up on creatine you will see resluts faster

nope...the more skeletal muscle a person has the more nutrients can be stored in skeletal muscle, this includes creatine.

Supposedly just about every new form says an insulin spike is not necessary for increased absorption. Kre-alkalyn, CEE, Dicreatine malate all boast of increased bioavailability.

 

[JMRQ]

I get a little creatine in NO-Xplde so I'll take a half-dose of CEE...
