Do I have to load creatine?

The creatine I bought has a lot of sugar(33g sugar and 5.25 g creatine mono) per scoop. Do I need to load it because I dont think having that much sugar would be good for me at all(health and leanness wise)

So is it necessary to load it because Ive heard from some sources yes, and some no. What are the pros and and cons etc?

Loading creatine gets ur muscles saturated and aids the maintainance (sp?) phase.

Is it necessary? No.

Could you see maximum benefit sooner? Probably.

The reason you've heard so much from both sides is that it really doesn't matter a whole bunch. If you don't load, you will eventually hit a maximum concentration of creatine, but if you do load, you'll just get their sooner. The biggest drawbacks to loading are a) some people experience gastrointestinal discomfort when they consume large amounts of creatine, and b) loading will use more creatine thus being slightly more expensive (although straight creatine is very inexpensive at under $20 for 1kg).

So there you have the run down, and you can make your own choice from there.
