OP you mean g not mg?

I use prob about 5g daily. Studies have shown tho that 2.5-3g is sufficient. If i come across them ill link them up.

5 works well for me.

5 grams with my post workout shakes.

Question: do you need to cycle Creatine?

 

[oufinny]

There should not be a need to cycle creatine if you have adequate hydration. If you don't drink enough water/fluids, it can put some stress on the kidneys but most lifter drink water all the time so they are in the clear based on multiple studies I have seen posted over the years.

Agreed no real reason to cycle creatine based on health reasons.

But with stims, pre's, creatine stuff like that I think a 'washout' period every 8 weeks or so for 2 weeks can be a good thing to do.

5g of creatine monohydrate post-workout worked well for me. I cycle my creatine becasue after 5-6 weeks i feel like i dont feel the effects of it. So i will take 2-3 weeks off of it, then hop back on the creatine so i feel the full effects
