| Jake, Aloha! I needed to pass some info along to you, about Creatine I load my body six months on and off 3 month and then start the cycle again enclosed is some info I have carried around with me for a long time and was also shared with me as I was training to be a fitness trainer, we all like to share info and it's welcome, I do have to say that everyone who tries supplements should always consult a Doctor first, most General Practitioners will tell you don't need that stuff, I suggest seeing a Doctor who is a Sport Medicine Doctor, he/she can figure out what is best for your body and what you wish to achieve. I enjoy that so many of us want to help each other and we all have found a outlet with get pics to keep us motivated. Mahalo from the Big Island! John Adult Loading dose in exercise performance (for adults ages 19 and older): Take 5g of creatine monohydrate, 4 times daily (20s total daily) for one week. Maintenance dose in exercise performance (for adults ages 19 and older): Take 2 - 5g daily. For cholesterol reduction (for adults ages 19 and older): Take 20 - 25g daily, for 5 days, followed by 5 - 10g daily thereafter. Your body may absorb creatine better when you take it with carbohydrate foods (such as fruits, fruit juices, and starches). The doses mentioned have been tested frequently in athletes. However, it is not known whether these dosages have the same effects in non-athletes. Precautions:Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, dietary supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a knowledgeable health care provider. Side effects of creatine include weight gain, muscle cramps, muscle strains and pulls, stomach upset, diarrhea, dizziness, high blood pressure, liver dysfunction, and kidney damage. Most studies have found no significant side effects at the doses used for up to six months. Rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue) and acute kidney failure was reported in one case involving an athlete taking more than 10 grams daily of creatine for 6 weeks. People with kidney disease, high blood pressure, or liver disease should avoid creatine. Taking creatine supplements may prevent the body from making its own natural stores, although the long-term effects are not known. The Food & Drug Administration recommends talking to your doctor before starting to take creatine. There have been reports of contaminated creatine supplements. Be sure to buy products made by established companies with good reputations. --- On Tue, 8/3/10, selwyn hopkins <jrsh1368@yahoo.com> wrote:
