Creatine dose

[grapes5]

Is it ok to do 10g of creatine a day? I know it says 5g but what would be the side effect of doubling up?

using more creatine won't give you twice the results

remember you are also getting creatine in your food

Increasing your dosage higher then 5g/day will provide no additional benefits but just increase the likelihood of developing gastrointestinal side effects.

Your body can only absorb so much. Once your muscle creatine phosphate stores are saturated, they are saturated. Any additional creatine is just going to sit in your GI tract and cause side effects

5g is enough

More isnt better. You would be wasting money and possibly retain water. Makes no sense.

5 g is the sweet spot you would be wasting product double dosing and wont be getting any additional benefit!
