Usage and dosage of creatine

In general, it is suitable to use creatine on an empty stomach together with a serving of carbohydrates, both before and after workout. Nevertheless, you can implement its supplementation anytime during the day, because some amounts of creatines remain stored in a human body.

The recommended dosage is a constant daily dose of 3 g per day (other sources say 2-10 g according to the body weight of the individual). Daily dose around 2 g can be used in long term as an opposite to the old-school form of high cycle dosage when during the loading phase the daily dose of creatine reaches 20-25 g split into 4 doses for the total time of 5 to 7 days. In the second, maintenance phase, there is one 3 g dose of creatine per day for the total time of 3 to 4 weeks. Then, a two-week pause should follow without any creatine supplementation. This loading method might have more of a psychological effect when the sportsman feels the effect of creatine already in a matter of days, but high doses can often cause digestive issue, mainly for more sensitive individuals.

Universally, it is not recommended for people younger than 18 years of age to supplement creatine and for people with kidney diseases, high blood pressure, or liver disease.
