I take it afterwards, (as its labeled) i tried it before hand an just had a shit workout.

After loading just 1 heeped tsp in my PWO protein shake.

first 5 days 5grms 4 times a day,after that 5 days, 5 gms a day but work out days i have 2 lotz of 5 grms be4 & after work outs.check directions on your tub,& follow them,but as long as you saturate your muscles with creatine,it should do the job. :dancing:

It definitely helps too and is cheap as.

i've just read up about the possible side effects, don't know if i'll use it at the moment. am just about to start on whey for the first time so may just leave it at that at the mo

true gymsta,if ya drink lots of water i wouldnt worry about side effects,because you cycle it so 4 weeks on then 4 weeks off,that gives your body a break from creatine.iv been doing this for over 1 year now & i havent noticed any sides at all. :?

I wouldn't worry about side effects. Creatine is one of the most researched and tested supplements. Like anything else, take it as directed and you will be impressed at the results. it works - very well.

fully agree with you gym rat,it dont mix well in shaker,i like micronised creatine, no mixing probs at all. :wink:

[Gym rat]

effervescent creatine made by balance that is good to use plus it easy to mix in one's shaker plus it it taste nice as well overall good vaule for money

[Ordy]

Im just on creatine maxx which is super micronised and mixes fine.

If you leave it a while though it will slowly sink to the bottom. But its usually finished before it has the chance.
