I searched the almighty Creatine thread but didn't find this question. Sorry if it's been asked before. (I'm sure it has.)
I've been taking it for 2 days and I'm just wondering when I will be able to feel/see the effects? I know 2 days is short, I'm just wondering.
I'm taking about 10g a day as a lighter loading phase.
for Mono @ 5g a day it takes me about 2 months before i can see or tell anything.
sooooo taking a small 10 day tub of sizeon I wont notice anything? wtf's the point of that? puuuure money down the ****ter.
bump.

Well, SizeOn is more than just straight creatine, so you should get some benefit as far as increased performance from the intra-workout carbs at least, if nothing else.
But I really think they just sell that sample thing so that you can try it out for more than just a day like most samples, and kind of get a feel for it. It isn't supposed to make you huge in 10 days.
Although, if you worked out 4x per week, that 10 day tub would last 2.5 weeks so that wouldn't be too bad.

[b]Directions:[/b] On training days, to optimize uptake and absorption of SizeOn? mix one serving with 16-20 ounces of water in a shaker and [b]sip during workout.[/b]

2 months? That can't be right.
More opinions please.
The answer will vary widely among users and creatine type. Most people gain the ~5 lbs of water weight and get the strength increase in the first week or two.
Once you are loaded you should notice some things. Size should speed up the process, and give you some enhanced muscle fullness from its other ingredients.
Kre-alkalyn takes about 7 days for me to notice significant results. I did respond to CEE back in teh day, and I'd day 3-4 days somehow...I swear it worked! Still have no clue why, but I am a high responder with creatine.

Good to hear. I've been drinking about 15 cups of water a day, the recommended amount in FAQ I read somewhere...
didnt see much difference at all when i used it.
3-5 days.
the water weight retained became obvious

that's just how i respond to Mono without loading and only taking 5g a day. if i load Mono and maintain a 10g a day schedule then i will see faster results, but i don't like the stomach distress that comes with Mono which is a reason why i don't take it.
i've taken creatine products since the mid 90's and i saw the best results from: MAN Clout, MAN Orotine, and GreenMag.
I think I'm starting to feel it. I was able to push out higher weight/more reps today. Also gained about 4 pounds so far...
Good stuff below...
[QUOTE=in10city;264335531]Loading is not necessary. Loading does work to rapidly elevate muscle TCr [more than 2-3 days actually may be unwarranted to improve exercise performance since a majority is excreted after that time and execution method is important]. But the results can be matched with a single ~3-5 g/d dose for 28 days to gradually increase muscle TCr concentrations to levels reached with loading. and loading more than once [unless you've taken an extended break from use] is unnecessary.
Following muscle saturation, muscle TCr can be maintained with non-daily dosing on workout days only [i.e. 4-5 days/week].
High chronic dosing can lead to CRT downregulation and other less than desireable effects. But it appears that low dosing does not have the same negative effects. Also keep in mind that once you're saturated that you can maintain saturation with a less than daily dosing protocol. So you can reduce risk, maintain benefits and saturation, and continuously use by doing this.
