    Creatine advice.

    I have been taking some creatine mono for the past 6 weeks or so at 2100g (4 caps), today i went and bought it in the power form which in 1 scoop is 5g. i am trying to figure out if right now at 2100g of creatine if i am holding water? i drink around 2gallons daily, i piss like crazy and cramp up bad!!!, i'm trying to see if i up my intake up to around 7500 will i hold alot more water, will the cramps get worse??? or will it be about the same as it is now?

    thanks in advance!

    I assume you mean 2100 mg? as in 2.1 grams? Creatine will hold water but its not some ridiculous amount and the average dose is around 5 grams a day to maintain levels in your body. If you go above that it wont help you much and just strain your kidneys more.

    Taking 7.5 g daily is too much and a waste of money. Since you've been supplementing for the past 6 weeks, all you need to do now is maintain your creatine levels. A daily dose of 2.5 g daily will be more than enough.

    Go with Kre Alkalym back on it since yesterday, its amazing, no need to cycle, only use 2 caps a day, before and after training. The effect is top notch.
