The correct way to take creatine monohydrate

Generally speaking, taking creatine monohydrate every 8 weeks is a cycle. In this cycle, it will be taken in two stages.

The first stage

The method of taking creatine monohydrate is very critical. Less will have no effect, and too much may lead to side effects. In the first stage, the daily dose should be controlled at about 20g and should be taken for a week. Then each dose cannot exceed 5g, that is, 20g per day is divided into four times, usually divided into four time points: morning, noon, before training and after training. You can drink it directly with water, or you can add a certain amount of whey protein powder or take it together with glutamine and other products. There is no conflict in this combination. However, it should be noted that the water temperature must be controlled and hot water that is too high will be destroyed, otherwise the nutrition of the product itself will be destroyed and the meaning of taking it will be lost.

second stage

The second stage involves appropriately reducing the dose. This period is called the maintenance period, which lasts for a total of 7 weeks. The specific way to take it is to take it about half an hour before each training, and no less than fifteen minutes at most, otherwise it will not be able to exert better effects. You can also choose to take it 15-30 minutes after training. The dosage is also controlled at about 5g, not more.
