"What is loading / the loading phase?
Loading is the period of time where you increase your daily dose of creatine to increase the level of creatine in your muscles so that it is available for use. It usually lasts for one week.
How much creatine should I take during the loading phase?
20g - 25g a day, 1 week - 10 days. This amount should be divided into 4 daily servings."
WAIT WUT?
i heard the body only absorve 5g of creatine per day, the rest of it goes out in the piss, have i heard wrong or wat?

I'm still lost on 2 issues that seem to conflict with each other.
1) Cycling creatine. Are you supposed to use it for a certain amount of time (3-4 months) and then get off of it for a month?
Or do you just take it continuously like Whey?
I've heard people advocate both methods and what's the real difference? Creatine seems very beneficial which makes me wonder why you'd ever want to get off of it.
2) Is the loading phase really necessary?
Like my previous question, I see people advocating loading and others saying it doesn't matter.
Does the loading phase really make a difference? lol
Thanks guys.

I am not aware of any evidence that you need to cycle creatine. However, many people do choose to cycle, and basically go "off" once or twice a year. If you do that, then you need to be "off" for a minimum of 4-6 weeks for your levels to return to baseline.
Some people are worried that your body will stop producing creatine if you supplement too long. It is not real clear, so may people err on the side of caution and will cycle.
no, not at all. Basically you can choose to load or not load. Either choice will result in reaching the saturation point. If you choose to load, you simply reach that saturation point faster. If you choose to not load, you will still reach the saturation point, it will just take longer. Some people want to see results faster, others want to save pennies and possible stomach discomfort and are fine with it taking a bit longer.

I bought myself creatine x3m Preload (600g), which has 6g proteins/6g Carbs else creatin and vitamin (dose is 30g per working day). Im trying to lose weight and at same time build my abs muscles, but not with creatine water mass but with gaining lean muscle mass which wouldnt dissapear after i stop taking them. So if i build muscles while taking creatine and when i stop will i gain pure muscle mass (idc about losing muscle size from water), i shouldnt lose any pure muscle mass right? Because i will only use creatine for month and half! I really need reply for THIS QUESTION. I also have pretty good genetics cause im the most buildet guy on school (800 people) and i dont train as some other guys who spent hours at gym
