creatine doses

[jtrink]

hey i've been reading all the stickies and other stuff about how much creatine i should by taking and how to cycle. I'm about 150 lbs. I heard to take 20g a day in 4 doses total a day. I've also heard take 5gs a day. Which one is right??? Is it good to take creatine 20gs a day for 7 days and do that every other week--will that be effective? any help will be great:nod: :nod:

Everything that I have read or heard is 5G per day consistently with no loading.

20g a day everyday? thats way to much. 5gs a day what i hear

i also heard to take it with grape juice b/c of the glucose content...is that true? and will i become weaker if i stop taking creatine??

[Natetaco]

yes taking creatine with dextrose/glucose does help absorbtion. you wont get weaker if you stop taking it as long as you work out the same ammount.

The 20g per day thing is the suggested loading phase, which is not necessary.
