Yea- 1 teaspoon of creatine monohydrate before a workout has a lot of science behind it.

I have started taking Green Magnitude and all I can say is wow.... as well as a noticeable increase in endurance, I have noticed a quicker recovery time and just generally feeling better. It doesn't make me sick or bloat either like just about every other creatine I have tried either

I just mix mine with water (combined with my pre-workout malto & whey). I really haven't noticed a high degree of water retention . . . weight certainly did not seem to spike at all since I started adding the creatine. I do think that my muscles feel "fuller" because of it. Maybe it's all in my head, but I'm going to keep using it and see how it goes.Originally Posted by IronLoader

I'll also be starting it soon. I definitely retained water when I took No-Xplode back in the day but alot of people have positive things to say about the GreenMag creatine in terms of less than normal water retention. Can a potassium supplement be taken to try and lose any excess water brought on by the creatine?

I just started using for the first time on wednesday 5 grams after workout and 5 grams at lunch, I'm planning to do this for a week, then only 5 grams after workouts for one month and take a break for 2 weeks,
How do you cycle your creatine?

I take mine as Nitrobolan before and after workouts. No problems with keto.
65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs = keto.

I use bulk creatine mono after workouts. Hope it will help me hold onto some lbm during the cut.
