    creatine monohydrate 3500 capsules (GNC)

    ok so i just bought this supplement and on the bottle it says to take 5 capsules per day. each capsule contains 0.7 g of creatine. so that would be 3.5 g of creatine per day. should i take 5 for a few days then cut back to 1 or 2? how should i go about using this supplement? do i cycle off after 2 months? i know you have to drink a lot of water by does that just mean like 8 glasses/day or more? any help on this would be much appreciated. also, how much is too much?

    but 5 grams a day would require taking 7 capsules/day. that seems like a lot.

    Maybe in pills it may seem like alot, but i take the powder so it makes it less time consuming to take, (not saying anything is wrong with the pill version, there both the same).

    No, it's the same, creatine-monohydrate is pretty basic nothing you can do to make it more"potent", it'll saturate your muscles with water the same regardless pill or powder form.

    As long as you want, creatine is naturally made in your body and the meats you eat.

    Take as many pills to get 3-5 grams daily. Take it for at least a month everyday, then trickle down to every other day is fine.

    This is how I would suggest as well. Could just supplement it on workout days, for instance.
