Hi, I have been taking creatine for a week (loaded for 6 days), and don't see a difference. Does anyone know when i will start seeing a difference? Sorry, I used the search function and didn't find anything.

Just to make sure, you are lifting weights, right? And make sure you are drinking plenty of water and eating a high-protein diet. Some people are non-responders to creatine, but definitely give it 2-3 weeks at least.

new here
HEy guys...been reading for a while here. Lots of good info ...also lots of b.s. non related lol...but that is anywhere.
Anyway...With Creatine...well Cell Tech..I noticed strengh/size gains about 2-3 weeks into it. Up until then..not much. Give it time man. I am lovin it now. My reps and weight has gone up drastically. Now I am looking for something to further enhance the Cell Tech. Any suggestions?? Wanting more mass and to be more cut.
Thanks!
Dave

Some people expect way too much from creatine; mostly guys who hardly ever worked out or just started. They think they can go on creatine and then start lifting like the big guys in the gym who've been at it for years. I personally would not recommend creatine to someone who has just started lifting. First get your mechanics down, and then treat yourself. Don't expect much, and you won't be let down as much

Loading
There was a study/experiment that showed males of very similar weights body fat etc split into 2 groups. One group did a loading phase and the other didn't. There was no difference in strength gains after about 3 weeks between the two groups but they both gained mass.
Loading is just for you to waste the creatine faster and buy more sooner
