Taking too much creatine

[beatyprodigy]

If you take too much creatine, do you just piss it out? is there other side effects like bloating or deficiency?

Too much is what leads to bloating and GI issues.

How much is too much? Lets say I'm taking 1 scoop of con-cret (5g of mono) and around 2-4g from Dymatize mass gainer (I don't know the specific amount). thats every day.

FYI concret is creatine HCL not mono. and 1 scoop of concret is 750mg of HCL. As long as you take the recommended dosage on the back of the bottle, you will be fine. dont be like those retards who died taking 5x the normal serving of jack3d. anything in excess can be harmful.

You dont need to be rude and disrespectful. Im sure they assumed they'd get bigger without doing proper research. Calling them 'retards' is just immature and childish. Im sure you made some foolish mistakes before, just nothing fatal like this.

3-5g a day is the recommended dose.

Con cret is actually creatine "HCl" and not "monohydrate", which i really don't know enough about to quess. But the combination isn't going to be too far over the line. As noted previously, people have done much worse and you can always adjust the doseage to meet your needs.

its equivelent to 5g of mono is what i meant to say, and if 5g a day is recommended, i don't want to go over that and i don't want to waste this expensive con-cret cause everyone i know that has used it, hasn't really lost weight and apparently you lose like 90% of your weight with mono

calling people who take way more than the recommended dosage is ok to call them retards. Its "retards" who get things banned and ruin the supplement for the rest of us who know how to read and follow instructions (See ephedra). Yes ive made mistakes before but taking 5X the normal serving is just common sense. Thats like 10-15 scoops of jack3d per workout.

At 129 lbs 2 scoops on training days is fine. With mono or any other product, people dont lose 90% of their weight. Most gain a few lbs due to 1) water retention 2) muscle addition. People usually take creatine to get stronger and get bigger. If you want to lose weight try looking into a fat burner.

[whippleman]

Just to be clear you shouldn't lose any muscle mass when you stop taking any creatine. The weight you lose, if any should just be water weight.

[snorkelman]

Yes.

Yup, you may lose some strength also but not weight. Usually when i cycle off of creatine I lose 1-2 reps, but get those back in 3 weeks when my body adjust.

when you are taking creatine, do you take it on non-workout days ?

We all know that it is not a smart idea to take more than the recommended dose. It was a pretty bad and well..fatal decision but I just don't see it appropriate to call them 'retards'. Jack3d isn't a bad product and this extremely rare case isn't going to ban the supp. Those people have families, friends, brothers, sisters, wives..you never know. and you really don't know if someone here was affected by your comment. I just think you should be more respectful of those no longer with us.

From my understanding you still take creatine during off days. 5 grams.

[changemyoil66]

Yup took it everyday.

So what shall we call these people that make retard mistakes?
