creatine mono

[cnelson09]

im hearing different dosages from different people. some say 5 grams with breakfast, 5 with preworkout another 5 post workout and 5 more before bed. then some people are saying all you need is 5 postworkout and on non training days take that 5 with breakfast. if somebody who has experience with this products can clearify the dosage or what worked well for them, it would be greatly appreciated.

The accepted way to dose is 10 days of a "loading phase" 10-20 grams post work-out, then after you are done that, 5 grams Post workout. Everyone does it differant. I use 5 grams. I have done 5g before workout 5g after. I didnt notice much of a differance.

3 grams pre, 5 grams post. thats what i use. Really man it doesnt matter. Experiment with it and see what gives you the best results. its not like ur gonna overdose lol.

A kilo of the unbranded CM should only cost ~$20. I do ~5g ED, with carbs at either breakfast or split Pre/PWO.

CreaPure only creatine mono for me... 5 grams/day, was taking pre but switchin to post because pre drink has other creatine already in it.

I feel the same way. I have yet to try the "loading phase" but studies prove it to be the best way to the fastest Creatine uptake.

well you only have to do the loading phase if you havent had creatine ever, or in a while... if you've been steadily consuming creatine for weeks or months, your body is already up to the level it needs, there'd be no point doing a loading phase.

i take breaks from creatine every once in a while, and i never do the loading phase.. i just start drinking it again at 5 grams/day.. after a couple weeks its back up to par.
