I asked this on the supplement board but I'll ask it here as well so I can get your opinions as well.
I am currently taking an effervescent creatine that includes 5g of creatine and 5g of glutamine with every serving(1 scoop). The can recommends taking only 1 serving a day. The serving only contains 1g of sugar.
My question, is taking only 5 g of creatine a day enough to get good results from creatine. I will be taking it everday before I lift without cycling.
how much do you weight? over 190.. id bump it to 10 grams.. under 5 is fine.. but you need more glutamine than 5 a day.Quote:

Ya go with 10gms.. and your glut. intake looks good.
Yeah definitely go 10g's a day. Did you do the loading phase?
I think the loading phase is totally unnecessary imho.Quote:

Not being an ass, I am just curious.
because you can only absorb so much.. and taking it for an extended period of time like 3 months.. 1 week of loading doesnt make a differance.. also saves on the creatine ;)
agreed 100% ,.... just do as bigol`legs has said it will be the same in the end ...and cheaper for you aswell :blush:Quote:
