Why safer? Creatine is not a dangerous substance as far as i know.2g a day o.0 thats so low but i would feel much safer taking 2g/day over 10g
for your kidneysWhy safer? Creatine is not a dangerous substance as far as i know.
that would scare me if i had pain from creatine. i take 5 grams 3 times a week (workout days)i have had kidney problems from creatine, my uncle has, and my friend has. mine was just sharp pain. my uncle peed out blood for a week, my friend had 2 kidney stones. they both used it straight, 10g for a year though. i prefer to cycle it every other month or so. seems to me 2g is low, i always do 5g after loading phase. i get sharp pains in my kidneys around day 5 of creatine use so now i make sure to drink aaaalllllot of water (about 2 gallons daily). anybody try 2g a day??? im curious how this works compared to 5g. i always thought 5 was max, anything else is a waste and is only hurting you. any thoughts?
according to the article. 2g is what you lose ed. so if you take 5, its unnecessary.i have had kidney problems from creatine, my uncle has, and my friend has. mine was just sharp pain. my uncle peed out blood for a week, my friend had 2 kidney stones. they both used it straight, 10g for a year though. i prefer to cycle it every other month or so. seems to me 2g is low, i always do 5g after loading phase. i get sharp pains in my kidneys around day 5 of creatine use so now i make sure to drink aaaalllllot of water (about 2 gallons daily). anybody try 2g a day??? im curious how this works compared to 5g. i always thought 5 was max, anything else is a waste and is only hurting you. any thoughts?
I believe it was companies selling creatine and it's great for moving product. It's just like protein. Every actual study that I've seen always talks about ingesting anywhere from 1-2 Grams/KILO of BW but ever since I've joined the boards I only see people talking about 1-2 grams/LBS of BW.People have been over doing it with creatine for years.
The maintenance dose for creatine is 0.029g/kg.
Whoever thought they could put a blanket statement on something and say "take 5 grams per day" was short sighted.
thanks, also im on creatine now in pct. 2g seems to be working great after the loadingThis sounds good to me. I have recently started to learn that sometimes more is not necessary. If we follow this protocol we can save our selves money and possible health issues.
Great information. I am not taking creatine at this time, but I will experiment with this on next cycle through.
sounds good man. a tub of creatine mono from primordial arrived at my door today. Its pure as hell and 200 servings of 5g. so well over a year and half at 2-2.5g a day. send me a pm with your log m8Dam glad I saw this!!! Order Creatine From primordial performance… I was going to just do the protocol loading of Creatine- Since I have read this I am going to try it … I was going to have a log “Called Going Back to the Basics” using Primordial Performance Products… The log is to see if using the basic Supps you can gain Mass with a good diet!!!
