Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 I am going to start creatine. The thing is what is the best drink to take it with? Using the Met-Rx brand.it says 10 grams for 5 days then 5 after that.why do some say 20 grams the first 5 days? Also should it be cycled? Thanks Joe ***Please sign mail with full name and city where you live. Don't forget that many companies advocate much larger doses of creatine than is necessary because they make more profit that way. Many athletes have found that the use of 3-6gm a day is very adequate to improve performance, without the need for any high dosage loading phase. Cycling is not really necessary - you will quite naturally discover that creatine starts to lose its effectiveness after a few weeks, after which point you can stop using it and return to it a few weeks. Also do not forget that creatine is no substitute for an efficient and effective strength training program. First ensure that you have discovered by trial and error (based upon science) which type of program suits you best at a given stage of training - then consider using new supplements.
