I am just starting to use supplements because I feel like I need a little help now with my workouts, and got some creatine. How much, and when should I take it being a female?
There is no need to load or cycle creatine. Simply take 5g per day.
When you take the creatine doesn't really matter but ideally you would supplement with creatine pre or post workout, as your body is most inclined to absorb nutrients at this time. Supplementing with creatine post workout will also help replenish depleted creatine phosphate stores from your workout.
creatine is naturally in the body and in foods we eat.. so it is safe for females to take. but make sure you buy a good quality one. ancient strength is great
Due to the fact that females are usually considerably smaller than men, you need just half the standart male dosage - 5 grams per day. When choosing a creatine product, make sure to get one without any additives - just creatine.
