Common questions
- How much? The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand gives 3 to 5 grams a day as the usual maintenance dose.
- Do I need to load? No. Loading at about 20 grams a day for a week is faster, but a steady daily dose gets you there in about a month.
- Do I take it on rest days? Yes, every day.
- Is HCL better? Monohydrate has the most research behind it. See creatine HCL if you prefer a smaller serve.
If you have a kidney condition or take medication, check with your doctor first.
