Cycling is pointless.
5g/day for first 30 days to reach saturation.
3-5g/day 5 days/week after that.�USMC (2009-2013) �

Hey man, going to post some FAQ from this thread.
How much creatine should I take?
Clinical dosage shows 2.5-6 grams a day is enough depending on body weight, this applies to most forms of creatine alone or combined. After about a month you'll reach saturation, then you can take it 4-5x a week to maintain saturation. Anything more once you reach what you're body can store, will be excreted.
Do I need to load creatine? (Loading: Taking more than 5-6 grams creatine for 1 week)
No. It is not necessary, you'll reach saturation quicker but this might result in gastrointestinal issues and the so called "bloating" (Water retention).
What's the best form of creatine?
Creatine monohydrate is the most researched, proved and cheapest form. There are other like creatine HCL or Magnesium creatine chelate that may provide additional benefits and have other characteristics, make sure you research before purchasing.
When should I take creatine?
Whenever you can, timing won't make a major difference in performance.
Hope this helped a bit!Instagram - @mooddani
