5g per day is what most people take

It might be 1 teaspoon a day after the loading phase... Does it say anything about the loading phase on the back of container?

No, they'd be taking 15 grams. I've heard of people doing this. What you're supposed to do it take 20 grams per day for the 1st week, that is the 'loading phase', then just take 5g/day afterwards. The only side effect of excess intake of creatine is a waste of money and having to consume more of the disgusting **** anyway lol.

It doesnt really matter when you take it as long as you get the 5g - i dont think theres any need to split it upOriginally Posted by rc_p90
I wouldnt go with a loading face, its pretty ineffective, they just want you to use up youre tub quickerOriginally Posted by Dallas_15

That's really cheap of them if that's the case. Still, I get just under 300 serves in my tub, so it's not really an issue

5 grams = 1 teaspoon take that once daily... anytime you want no less, no more you can load if you want it just wastes an extra 3 days of creatine per loading day though
Legalize it and I will advertise it!

to add to this old... old post, I have purchased the Performance Inspired micronized creatine. It says 1 tablespoon is 5g, however in maintenance, the instructions say to take 2 tablespoons a day. Thats 10 grams per day after loading. Isnt the recommended dosage for creatine 3-5g a day? This seems like a lot unless i am not understanding the instructions.
