When using creatine supplements (such as Cell-Tech) is it necessary to take it in cycles?”
“It’s best to use creatine in smaller doses over longer periods of time than a large dose in a short (or long) period of time. It’s a lot easier on your system if you take smaller doses. This will keep the load light on your kidneys and liver and it will eliminate the constipation side effect. Use it only on your workout days (not needed on rest days) and split the dose in 2 (1 before workout, 1 after) I found that the loading period was not necessary and that the maintenance dose did the trick just as good. Also, drink a lot of water with it, this will also keep the negative side effects away. Stir the creatine powder with the juice (high glucose drinks are recommended) for about 1 minute to make sure that it is properly mixed. You don’t want it to stick to the sides of the glass. Creatine is a lot stronger than you may think. If you’re a lightweight or if you’re a younger user, keep the dosages low. Don’t always think that the labels on the container are absolute.
