This may be a stupid question, but how much is 5 grams? A teaspoon, tablespoon. If there is no scoop with the creatine pow, how do I tell the right dose?

For creatine, 5 grams is approx a rounded teaspoon.Originally Posted by nevergain

I see this all the time and I have to say it:
You can't compare volume to mass without knowing it's density.
So, depending on what you are taking, 5g could differ greatly. So, I don't know if you're just taking creatine mono or have a creatine blend, so it can differ with those.http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=170889621&posted=1#post170889621

waaaaaay too much discussion about this. Just take a teaspoonful, sometimes you may get 4.8g, sometimes you may get 5.2g. It's really no biggie.

Agreed. As long as we're on the same page and this is creatine mono you should be fine. Don't want you to be taking a teaspoon full of something you don't want too much ofOriginally Posted by RADIRON
