Exactly how much creatine?

[Jinkies]

Ive been taking 2 servings of cell-tech daily for the past 3 months which i was told in another thread was just a load up of sugar. I read that because im over 220 i need around 24 grams of creatine a day during mateniance and 40+ during loading (not like i load anyways) but other people were trying to convince me i only need 3 grams of creatine if im running mateniance which sounded wrong because every creatine brand is 10 grams per serving. If i reduce my cell-tech intake to just the reccomended which my 130 pound friends are using will it have the same effect even tho im 100 pounds heavier or should i stick to what im doing now. This is going for just results and im not looking for people to tell me that cell-tech is a waste of money or anything like that, just need to know if i should change my intakes or just keep using the same

Dude you need to read the "Facts about Creatine" in a thread I created in here. There is a link but you can down load it and read it whenever. It exposes all the myths around creatine and will answer all your questions.
It did for me.

i said i dont load in my post.... and i read your post all already and i didnt see anything talking about how body weight affects creatine.

[mikey4402]

saying that your creatine dose should change depending on weight i can see, but 40 grams even 24 grams is unreasonable. just stick with 5 grams a day....i weight 220, i use 5 grams a day. i have friends that are 250 they use 5 grams a day. everyone else uses 5 grams a day. sooooo use 5 grams a day.

Men under 200lbs should be fine with 3g a day. men over 200lbs should go for 5g a day.
