Should creatine be taken on off days??

One simple word... YES... It will help maintain a constant level.

cosign the above, read the directions on the tub you get. also just get a simple creatine mono....ethyl ester is actually less stable (and most often more money). most creatine requires a loading phase and then a secondary maintenance phase. so read the directions and go from there

15 or or 30, it will still mess up your kidneys if you dont drink enough water. Studys show that with propper water intake creatine is safe even if you wanted to take it year round.

nickyjuan · 08-31-2007, 08:35 PM

AVFullBack32 · 08-31-2007, 08:52 PM

i usually drink at least a milk jug of water a day
usually more for me though

**T.O** · 08-31-2007, 10:33 PM

Drink tons of water even if your not on creatine

AV you dont have totake milk thistle with Creatine. It goes throught the kidnes not the liver.

thanks!

typically the water intake that you should consume while taking creatine is double what your normal intake of water is. so when you hear drink 8 gasses of water a day, think 16.

really? someone told me that creatine is hard on your liver....****

no it doesnt affect your liver adversely, nor should it affect kidney function with water as stated above. just drink damn water and everything will be fine.
