Creatine in pill form is prohibitively expensive. Powder, which is the most commonly used form of creatine, is highly insoluble, resulting in athletes having to take high doses(10-20 grams a day) in order for it to reach their muscles. Liquid creatine is highly soluble, so less has to be taken and it supposedly bypasses the digestive system altogether , resulting in safer and quicker results.

i thought liquid creatine didnt work? and if its 10-20g per day why does everyone recommend just 5? just wondering because i need this info! hehe nice links

the amount of creatine you use after your loading phase( 20) is dependent on your bodyweight.. and can be anywhere from 5 to 15 grams( you better be a big SOB to take 15)...

read the next paragraph... i say why liquid creatine IS WORTHLESS

i found a chart a long time ago but since then i havent been able to find it, it tells you how much creatine per pound of bodyweight, etc. if u cant find it can u just tell me how much for me? i weigh 150lb

 

[bigliftsCNU]

you might want to try 5 grams a day

and did you see where i was talking about how liquid creatine is worthless...?? it is right below what you quoted from my article
