Taking Creatine? Plus some questions about dosage.

I'm not on creatine right now

lol love how you phrase it "on" creatine.

I take 5g every day. Plan to do so for the rest of my life, irrespective of what happens lifting-wise.

There's almost no reason everyone shouldn't be taking creatine daily for life.

Guys how much water do you drink whilst taking creatine?

For the past few days I have been constantly thirsty but I'm also pissing all the f-ing time. I also have a bloated stomach even though I haven't had my dose yet today.

Sorry for the detail.

1 to 2 gallons a day. I mix 14 grams of Scivation Xtend into each gallon of water, so I'm constantly taking in BCAAs and electrolyte.

Lots of reports of dehydration on Creatine, including dehydration headaches / migranes.

Edit, have a good way to track. I use a gallon jug, and use that same water to mix up my normal BCAA dose and so on.

I took creatine a few months and I hadn't no benefit.

Lost money. For me, the only helpfull supplements are whey and multivitam

Get the cheapest stuff, take 5g-10 a day. Load if you want to, it honestly doesnt matter. You don't need to cycle off, the timing doesn't matter in anyway except if it impacts your compliance.

This. Enough said.

You won't necessarily be able to recognise the impact of creatine. Doesn't mean it provides no benefit.

3 months of creatine costs me about $8

Interesting you find the multivitamin useful. Personally, I suspect there are cheaper ways to colour my urine. What benefit did you notice from taking those?
