Questions

How much creatine should I take a day?

The ISSN position stand gives 3 to 5 g a day to maintain muscle creatine stores after loading, and says larger athletes may need 5 to 10 g. One scoop of either pick is 5 g.

Is daily creatine safe?

The ISSN position stand reports intakes up to 30 g a day for 5 years were safe and well tolerated in healthy people. Both picks list creatine monohydrate as the only ingredient.
