Creatine loading

How long should the loading phase be and is it really necessary to bulk up muscle stores quickly?

Was thinking about a daily 20g regiment over a week followed after by 5g doses daily - is this typical for the best immediate gains?

Thanks, and is it supposed to be 6 months on and 6 months off after the loading phase is done?

I wouldn’t bother with loading phase, just take the daily dose which is usually 5mg. Run it for however long you want, no need to cycle on and off.

Theres very little research on Creatine... just dive in and take it daily. Buy monohydrate, dont spend money for anything else.

The above post is incorrect in regards to “little research.” It is in fact one of the most widely researched of all supplements.

Yeah, because there's nothing else that has been researched... There's very little definitive research that have been done.
