2g creatine a day or 5g every other day?

[Josh1091]

Which would work best I.e would the creatine stay in my body over a 48hr period and still be a maintenance level or would it spike? Therefore 2g a day would be better?
Wanted to know on a scientific level and not just take as much as you can dumb level. Thanks in advance

3-5g/day every day, no matter what time with any beverage of your choice

Dosages are basically based around 1g for every 40lb of bodyweight. So the usual dosages daily are between 3-5g.

yup! x2 on this

I would just go with 3 to 5 grams every day. It is fine to miss a day or so every so often though.

Once your saturated, 3-5g on workout days is what I do.... 3-5g everyday won't hurt though.

[Josh1091]

Thanks all ill just go with a lowish amount every day

I was gonna say this exact thing. I take around 4g on workout days post workout. You can still take 3-5g on non workout days but it isn't necessary.

[Valhallabound86]

~5g per day for a month, then ~3-5g on training days (provided you're training 3-4 days a week) would be sufficient.

[snorkelman]

5 grams per day for a month, then you can drop to 2 grams per day, or 5 grams every 2 days

[JDomin0]

I usually try to get 5 grams per day.

[andrewwww]

normally myself 5g on workout days (3-5times/week)

[browguy808]

A good bulk Micronized Creatine would do you just fine. 5g a day, everyday. No need to load.

[bgben]

I do 6g of Kre Alkalyn on workout days and 3g on off days. This works great for me.

[TheGilmore]

Once you're saturated, it takes a long time to return to baseline. I want to say it was about a month. I could be wrong.

[JohnSmeton]

either is fine . for EOD I would take in five grams.

check out ai sports nutritions deal, if you buy a daa or glycobol or hghpro at the bodybuilding.com store you get a free 100 grams creatine

pretty much right here.. lower end of the spectrum if you tend to get any of the water retention issues

[Squatticus]

I do 5g every 2-3 days

[XCriticalBenchX]

This is not going to be what you want to hear, but 10g workout days only works great for me.. best results out of all the trial and errors I've tried. I tend to do what works, not what says its going to work.
