Crreatine dosage?

divie · 06-03-2005, 06:17 PM

Ive got YORK pure CREATINE monohydrate from argos and reading the dosage i should only load for the first 5 days of about 30g then stick to a maintenace of10-20g, in what quanity does everyone take creatine? as i know manufacturers sometimes give safe minimum outlines.Im willing to spend 40 a month on supps excluding food, i think pro shake and creatine is the best way to go.With regards to my first question is it worthwile me staying on creatine permantly or load then have a break?.At the momement i drink a pro shake during my workout but would it be better to have the creatine at this time or both?Is it ok to have both mixed together?
Thanks

hello shane,

i react very well to creatine.

i cycle for 6 weeks,then come off.

i load for 5 days at 25grams a day taken 5 grams at a time throughout the day.

then the rest of the cycle i have 10 grams daily. before and ater training with a full glass of water.

i,d say stick with your shake, and have 5 grams creatine before and after training.

make sure you drink plenty of water, the loading phase is where you notice most strangth increases, well i do anyway.

hope it helps

speak soon

creatine ethyl ester is creatine mono with an ester you hardly have to take any and get absorbed 10 times better then mono

How expensive is that CEE stuff compared to regular creatine. Also, if anybodys interested, Holland and Barrett are selling 1kg of creatine for 19 (I think). I paid 38 2 weeks ago (bugger). Got another one so, well stacked up.

You will have to be quick, cos sale ends in 2 or 3 days. :shock:

I would avoid the protein powders though as even though it appears like a good deal in the sale, its still cheaper, per gram of protein to buy it from www.discount-supplements.co.uk. Plus the H&B stuff is disgusting, imho!!

I use creatine ethyl ester, 5g pre and post workout. I don't cycle it, just take it every day. Personally I find CEE more effective than regular monohydrate.
