[fitguy]

how many weeks are enough to let my kidney and liver rest from the stresses that might creatine use cause?

creatine negatively effecting the liver is a myth. You can take creatine nearly year round. You'll damage your liver by drinking alcohol a few times a week more than you will by taking creatine.

at least i should be off to continue on gaining from it right?

^^ i don't know, i don't see how it would hurt to stay on longer than they say, i think creatine still has the same effect anytime. it is true that is can build up and cause kidney stones, but if you drink enough water that shouldn't be a problem. liver damage, maybe if you take like 100g a day? but i doubt it

I stay on Creatine Mono almost year round.

5-10g/ED.

mmm dunno i might just keep on it or take like 2 weeks or so off creatine,i guess 2 weeks will be just fine.

Creatine isn't a drug like clen where the positive effects from it wear off. Your body creates creatine already and basically your adding extra gas into the tank. That never changes.

^^ I like the way you've explained that.

Take 5 - 10g of creatine everyday indefinitely. It doesn't lose its effect on you. Answer this if you think creatine needs to be cycled: what's there to downregulate in the body by taking creatine? There isn't. Every time you take in creatine, the body will use it to replenish its stores.
