Creatine Question

[Drunken_Weasel]

Hey guys.. Got this bottle of WEIDER Creatine capsuls (i know WEIDER is just big name big bucks, but.. for free..)
Anywho, my question, it says to take 7 at a time! 7 pills == 5 grams of creatine. How much you think I need for a beginner trainer, per training/non-training day? I train on mon-wed-fri. Thanks guys

It also says to take with something such as apple juice, grape juice.. says to take with 1 to 2 cups of High-glycermic drink.. (the juices).. is this necessary, or would it be ok with just water?

You should take it with a simple sugar to increase the absorption. I would take 5 g per day, every day, regardless of training. Or, you can load it by taking 20 g per day for 5 days, then 5 grams per day after that. Next time, I would recommend getting the powder. It works out MUCH cheaper.

Couple things to add: Since you're a bigger dude, you can go up to ten gr per day, but any more is unnecessary. Second, don't drink it with citrus juice; use a grape or apple juice, or gatorade.

Sales are great, so if the 50% off the 2nd gnc product you buy, used that one many times.
