Creatine some facts

[sprinter]

That was a great post. It was very informative and I enjoyed reading it. However, I believe that there is one discrepency in it. In regards to the "load phase". The load phase it is not needed. I'm sure Dr. Colgan knows his stuff about creatine, but anyone that says you need to load creatince like that has got to be in some manufatures pocket. Maybe Dr. Colgan is not, but I am very skeptical. If you take exessive ammounts of creatine, it basically goes unused whether it is durring the "load phase" or not. There are many other findings that agree with creatine being benificial, but deam loading unnecissary.

I always hear that loading is not needed. But if it is just a scam then why dont nutrition companines tell you to load all their products. For example Glutamine. Glutamine is much more expansive that creatine, so why dont these companies recomend that you do a loading phase on glutamine to then?

A 600gr tub of Optimum Creatine cost $16 on the internet thats 130 servings or 12 cents a serving. It would only costs about $2.40 to load.
