Ive only used mono at 40g a day when I was younger. All my friends thought I was on steroids back then, But I was on 40-50 mono a day.

40-50 grams a day???? And it made you look like you were on steroids?? And it didn't give you the shits???

Creatine monohydrate is superior to all.
Here is a very good article analyzing it against the other "designer" forms.

I keep my dose at 5g daily. -Cheers

No... Try it and see, do it for 2months straight and see for your self. I did 20g before workout and 20grams after workout then got lazy and took it all at once.
TBH its the only time I got complements while on that dose every day. Its so cheap who cares.

I hope you're drinking PLENTY of water...creatine is highly taxing on renal function. Found this out the hard way, backed up w/ BW. Don't get me wrong, creatine mono is some great stuff, but use it correctly. 40-50g a day is dangerous, imho.
New Member
I have no desire to try that....When I used to load creatine I'd do it at 15 grams a day until I got the shits, then I knew I was saturated. It usually took about 3 days. No matter how cheap it is I have no need to take in a large amount of a substance so that I can shit it back out...lol

If you are taking a creatine blend you need to really analyze and pay attention to the ingredients. Proprietary blend creatine mixes are mostly all shit imho. Some say they have 10g/ scope (or more) of creatine but when you start to break the blend ingredients out and do the math its not even close.
Best bet is just to get pure creatine monohydrate and take that. That way you know exactly what you are taking and how much. If its a micronized form even better.

5g a day of mono. It's safe and does the job!

We have used them ALL.
MONOHYDRATE is what I would choose.

"He was using a bodybuilding supplement known as CREATINE. Some users have reported increased aggression..."
Seriously. It was "steroids" make people mad murderers. Now it's supplements. As you say, next it will be
"high protein diets, the beginnings of a murderer?"

How do you guys rate creatine do you think its necessary?
Ive never used it in my life
AR-Hall of Famer
I don't like the extra water bloat from it

From reading the link kelkel posted you get creatine from meat fish and eggs, so is there any point in consuming powdered version? I think id rather stick to food, water and a pre workout / caffeine
Productive Member
It's difficult to get 5 gr of creatine from food! 1 kg of raw red meat contains 4.5 gr of creatine.When you cook it,it loses 30%.So we need to eat like 2 kg of cooked red meat for 5 gr of creatine!
