Just started on Creatine

[Allon]

I just started today and I feel really good. Is this possible? Is it meant to be an immediate effect? I feel really energized.
I took 2000mg, went and worked out and then took another 2000mg.

Anyone have thoughts on taking it every day? In the pharmacy they told me just to take it before and after workout.

2000mg = 2g is actually pretty little

Some people take 5g, 4 times a day

Which brand is it ?

 

[the guy on the couch]

yeah... 2g isn't much. people usually take 10g/day during the "loading phase" for a week. then, 4g/day to maintain. if you're starting, bump it up to 10-15g/day for a week, and then maintain at 4g/day.

 

[Allon]

Wow, thats a lot. So I should take everyday regardless of training days?
Won't it effect my stomach taking so much? Any negative effects to be wary of?

definitely take at least 5 grams a day, but make sure you are drinking a gallon of water a day as well. and no, the creatine isnt making you feel that good. although it might be just something mental, there are alot of things that just mentally make me feel better. so hey, if it helps you to keep telling yourself its the creatine, then keep it up.

 

[chewyxrage]

it's soo cheap. I take 20 g a day to load and 10 g a day after

 

[Allon]

thanks guys.
It is pretty expensive here. cost me the equivalant of $25 for 80 2gram capsules.
