Do I need to “load” or “cycle” H+Blocker?
If you have taken a creatine supplement, chances are the product label has instructed you to start with a higher dosage (usually 20 grams per day) for several days and then ease back to a lower dosage (usually five grams per day) for continued supplementation. Taking a higher initial dosage of a supplement such as creatine is called “loading.” Research has shown that the fastest and most efficient way to increase muscle creatine stores is to divide supplementation into separate loading and long-term supplementation phases. However, when it comes to carnosine-boosting supplementation, loading is not necessary. The same dosage of H+Blocker recommended for initial loading, a single serving taken daily, is also recommended for long-term supplementation. Most creatine users are also familiar with the practice of “cycling.” This refers to the strategy of taking the supplement daily for many weeks and then discontinuing supplementation for a shorter period before resuming daily supplementatio
