creatine loading phase

[Spider8]

creatine loading phase protocol has to be done properly to get the maximum benefit from creatine use. But there is a lot of misconception and misgudance about the proper way to load up creatine and how to achieve proper supersaturation in the first few days.

Can you guys share some insight as to how you actually go about running a proper creatine loading phase that truly supersaturates the muscles properly?

There is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to creatine supplementation. There is no need to load or cycle creatine. Supplement with 5-10g per day. When you take the creatine doesn't matter but ideally you would supplement with creatine pre and post workout, as your body is most inclined to absorb nutrients at this time. Supplementing with creatine post workout will also help replenish depleted creatine phosphate stores from your workout. I really like the creatine formula Ancient Strength from n2bm.com. Each serving contains 5g of creatine monohydrate, creatine HCL and creatine pyruvate blend. Take 1 serving pre workout and 1 serving post workout.

Supplemental creatine is nothing more then the amino acids glycine, arginine, and methionine synthesized together. It is not a hormone and does not require a PCT (post cycle therapy).

There is no need to frontload creatine - you can just use it at the right dosage from the beginning.

I never saw the point in this, just take your dose consistently from day 1
