How much creatine monohydrate should I take?
A high-dose loading phase of 20 g of creatine monohydrate per day for 5 days followed by a maintenance phase of 5 to 10 g per day is common for patients. Supplementing with larger dosages does not result in significantly higher creatine levels and is therefore unnecessary as well as unsafe. It’s extremely important to drink plenty of fluids when supplementing with creatine. This allows the body to easily absorb, filter and excrete any excess creatine.
