Do I need to cycle creatine?
Cycling is a period of time where an athlete stops taking the supplement for short period and then resumes its use. It was used by steroid users to allow the body to recuperate from any stress or damage to the body. Creatine is not harmful to the body and does not need to be cycled. The function of creatine is to provide the body with energy reserves — if cycled off, the reserve will require reloading again for 5 days. Please note that some athletes who cycled creatine experienced little extra energy. Some articles and books about creatine suggested cycling, but there is no definite agreement about this issue.
