    It says 2g is useless. cc87 is suggesting 2-5 times this dosage.

    Well no. It says 2g per day maintenance isn't enough

    Not taking any Cr is worse than 2g/day

    3g is recommended by a lot of supplement companies though, which does lend credence to the argument that some gappy research was conducted yonks ago and then taken as gospel and not revisited.

    Even 10g is probably not enough for someone with decent muscle mass who trains regularly.

    FYI - If is was supplementing with creatine I would consumme around 50g which would be needed.

    how did you come to 50g?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Serious question-

    Do you take it on non training days?

    Or just before/ after training?

    Or is it like everything else - just shut up and take it?

    Similar situation as myself.

    I picked up some CM as I was lead to believe it would be of benefit.
    The instructions on the tun told me to load for a week, then maintain with a spoonful a day after training.

    Since then, it's been nothing but hugely conflicting information about how much should be taken and when.

    Per month? I don't understand. Surely you aren't talking about per day? :confused:
