Just bought some creatine ee capsules...however it says twice daily on instructions...just wondering (compared to monohydrate) is there a loading phase? How long before muscles reach saturation.....anyone with any experience....

Just want to add to this...it says take after workout on an empty stomach, however I take protein in the form of chicken etc ater a workout so what do i do....wait a while or what??

The loading phase is a controversial one - some believe it makes a difference; others dont. I personally think its of no benefit as your body can only store a certain amount of creatine anyway.

Why not take it straight after your workout, then eat your chicken? That shouldnt make too much of a difference anyway - priority is that you get protein in straight after your workout so i wouldnt say it would be of benefit to wait a while before getting either protein or creatine into ya.

I like your avatar!!....cheers...Il just take it directly after workout and then take protein
after that....

No need to load with ester as 100% of the creatine in it is absorbed. V good stuff monohydrate never worked for me but I noticed this in about a week, I only take 2 tabs a day so a bottle lasts 3 months.

Gator

Yeah,thats what the other guy said in your shop...monohydrate didnt really work out 4 me either....where abouts does the 21 day saturation come into play in this....(or at all) should I just take the 2 tabs a day for a solid 3 months

Mickk

I have just taken 2 a day for 3 months and it is working well for me. I know people who do 1 month on 1 off but I dont see much point, I think what you gain in the first week or two of taking them will be the same as what you lose when you come off them.

Gator

Cool..Il take your advice...cheers
