I wish I could post the full version of the review article for you, damn copyright laws.

But it simple means that after the loading phase the Tcr level has reached saturation point in the muscles cells and that larger dosages to maintain the saturation point are not needed. Creatine is recycled in the muscle cell as much as possible and only takes a smaller dosage to maintain saturated levels. However to effectively transport creatine into the cell, it is best to use glucose along with creatine for maximal transport at any time including loading and maintenance phase.
