How many grams of Creatine a day?

[firemon232]

The company that advised ppl to take 10 or more per day just wanna make you guys to take more so that your will buy even more creatine. The extra will go to waste plus if you are getting your beef in, the more you do no need 10g of Cr

[prittycuul]

3-5 grams per day

[Matt8pack]

I am taking Pure Creatine Monohydrate and have all ready gone past the loading phase and am currently 4 weeks into use. A lot of you on here say to take 5g a day, however the company suggests on it instructions on the packaging to take 10g a day. Just wondering if I should follow these guidelines or not?

You should only take about 3g of creatine a day if your not eating any meats or protien shakes. This is because eating/making more than 3g of creatine in one day can be very harsh on the heart, liver, and kidneys. This can cause any/all of these organs to fail KILLING YOU!

[Nishoba]

answer is always same, 3-5g

what kind of steroids you taking clouds?

A ph cycle a year.. no more, sometimes less. At the time of my profile pic, I was not on any cycle. I just recently started Super-DMZ RX 2.0 by IronMagLabs for my 2012 cycle. See sig for log.

5g man.. you can take in 10g but it really depends on your bodyweight, i take in between 5.5-7g a day and that's it!! oh and be sure to drink a lot of water, like a gallon a day, and then don't skip on the cardio, because your body will retain the extra water, and you'll look bloated as hell.. so 5g a day, with lots of water, and cardio.. you'll make some good gains man!

[Luwii95M]

And on training days should i have it pre or post workout?

not all of the creatine you consume gets absorbed by your body, some of it goes out as waste, same as protein and carbs etc. so it might absorb better post workout. shouldnt matter to much.

[football901]

5g a day no need to cycle off

Multiple health specialists and profressional health websites 5g can be taken but it places you at a higher risk.

[BreakingDaHabit]

I bought Beta K Creatine in pill form. I have to take 4 capsules a day but is it safe to have another 4 after my workout or will I be ****ting bricks later? And how many grams is 4 capsules because I understand I have to take 5G of creatine. Thanks!

[loivanvn]

me do not like using creatine,

[Gregthegiant]

I take 9 grams a day but its mixed with some other stuff too. Not sure exactly how much creatine I'm really getting.

I see that you're 18...I'm 15 and I was thinking about adding creatine to my regimen. Too young? I've read so many threads and articles and they all suggest both sides equally. I think that if I decrease the dosage to match my weight and cycle it correctly then it's safe? Please, feedback would be appreciated.

[Tonyhz23]

Seems like almost everyone says 5 grams a day. The tub probably says 10g so that you will use up the product faster. My beast creature creatine says 10g a day as well

[muscleshakes]

Studies involving a loading phase have subjects ingest 0.3 g per kg per day for 5 days followed by 0.03 grams per kg per day after that loading phase. You are specifically asking about the maintenance phase, which is the 0.03 grams per kg per day amount. OP, since you weigh 155 pounds, you would take 0.03 g X 70.31 kg = 2.11 grams per day to maintain.

You can take 3-5 grams per day as insurance if you like, as you will piss out the "extra" creatine, but there is absolutely zero benefit to taking 10 grams a day to maintain.

You can mix it with whatever you want: milk, juice, water, and there is no need to avoid caffeine.

yes toss it in your mouth with a spoon wash it down with water. mix it in whatever you want. take 3-5 grams is plenty. you can drink caffeine too.

see how you go with 5mg and if you arent seeing much results just go with 10 mg. If i were you i would first try out 5 mg though just to put it slowly into my system

exactly. I use 5g on non training days and sometime 2x5g on training days, close before I start with the training I take 5g, to give my training a sense...psycho I know

[lemeseethem]

Be careful op. if you take more than 5 grams a day it requires PCT





























(Not srs)

I hear loading phase makes no difference.
