I'm looking at taking creatine but i hear if you stop taking it you will lose any results you gained. Is this true? If so is there a way to prevent it? Any help appreciated

not true... when you take creatine, especially monohydrate you will put on some water weight. once you come off of creatine and your body unloads you will lose the water weight. try using an ethyl ester. a little more expensive but all around a better form of creatine

sweet, thanks bro

i like the micronized creatine.doesnt bloat and disrupt from stomach as much as the monohydrate

ive had the best results from CE2...it is a little more expensive but it worked and i kept most of my gains...imo i think monohydrate is garbage now theres more technology out in other creatines than plain old mono. the only thing i gain is water weight

would 5g of ethyl ester be sufficient?

posted by Morgan

yes... that is right where you want to be:thumbs:

two more questions. How much water should i be drinking while taking ethyl ester.

And should i load? What is loading?

Creatine is the most popular and commonly used sports supplement available today. These are used before and after fitness workouts. (http://www.24hr-fitness-workout-guide.com)There are numerous studies backed by anecdotal evidence that support the efficacy of creatine supplementation.

Yes we all know Cr is the most controversial BUT also the most successful ergogenic aid of the century. Above all it is looked upon by many as the savior & often cornerstone in the sports supplement road of developing awesome physiques, and enhanced performances by natural ways.

You should always drink plenty of water. Not just when on creatine.

drink as much water as you can!

and the loading phase from everything i have read is a little controversial... some say it is necessary some say it isn't needed.... i am one who thinks that it isn't necessary. oh and loading is a period of 5-10 days where you would take for example 10g to quickly get your levels up then you would go into a maintenence phase where you are just sustaining the levels in your body.:thumbs:
