creatine before holiday

[necroleer]

Should I be using creatine before a holiday? I want to load creatine before I go to a beach holiday so I look full. That a good idea?

There is no need to load creatine and in fact, loading creatine may actually make you retain a lot of water and look worse. Your body can only absorb so much. Taking more then the recommended dosage of creatine is just going to cause bloating and GI issues.

The recommend dosage of creatine is 5-10g per day. There is no need to cycle or load creatine or anything like that.

Creatine is creatine. Don't waste your money on some fancy overly marketed creatine that will provide no additional benefits.

Either get a bulk creatine monohydrate powder or a capsulated creatine product like ancient strength from n2bm.com.

creatine is the best natural supplement i tell natties to use. it is cheap, it works, and it is safe

we get it from our foods too

there is no reason to take more, remember it is a supplement. if you are depending on creatine, your diet may not be what it needs to be. it would be like saying i am going to drink more whey shakes.

I wouldn't take creatine with you on vacation, and it's not going to make a huge difference in your appearance. And like the last 2 posts have mentioned, loading up on it is useless.

Honestly, just take your daily dose, leave the stuff at home, and enjoy the vacation.

That's not how creatine works. All you want to do is take 5g per day for as long as you want. It isn't going to make you look full though.
