Water and CReatine

[goat]

How much water should u drink for every 5 g of Creatine. I heard 64 OZ but i dont know if that is correct.

[sCaRz*Of*PaiN]

Just drink it in a shake or a tall glass of water mixed with dextrose or some other carb alternative. And no, 64 ounces per 5 grams of creatine is overdoing it. Just put in a 8-16 ounce shake and mix it up.

How much creatine are you taking in a day? You only need 5 grams per day.

i put my 5 grams of creatine inside my mouth with a spoon and bottoms up.

The amount of water you drink is dependant on your lifestyle. For example, someone doing roofing in the middle of July in Atlanta will need more water than someone doing desk jockey work in Vancouver.

There is no hard and fast rule as to how much H2O you need if you supplement creatine. Just keep drinking until you are no longer dehydrated.

I'm not sure if that's what he meant, BG. Though his post was a bit unclear.

Do you think he meant how much to drink at the time he took the creatine?

If so, it certainly is not a half gallon!!

Drink untill your piss is clear and not like Mountain Dew. You can never overdue unless its more than 2gl a day, like me hehe didn't feel good what went down came back out like a waterfall from OD-ing H2o. ANy how it doesnt hurt to drink more water to keep your body hydrated with 64oz, shoudln't be like OMG but something better for your self.

When he comes back, he'll clarify the situation

i meant how much water after i drank the Creatine. B/c i heard it makes you extra dehydrated. Just thought i should clarify

[sCaRz*Of*PaiN]

It causes water retention, I don't know how water retention would lead to dehydration. You want to drink plenty of fluids to keep your kidneys flushed...and the fact that your body is made of mostly water.

This is the bottom line. If your urine is clear you are hydrated, if it is colored you are dehydrated. Simple as that.

there is not set amount of liquid that you need when you are taking your creatine. However, there is a rule of thumb to consume at least 1 gallon of water every day (taking creatine or not) Hope this helps
