I’ve been supplementing 5 grams a day and it has produced some of the most positive outcomes from any supplant I’ve taken. It’s seems to have really helped with my mental focus and my energy level is up a notch and well sustained.

Yeah. Keep taking it

Yep. I do 8-10g a day if lifting. 5 if not lifting

Seems like it helps you stay hydrated too, in terms of getting good cellular H2O absorption. I might just be talking out of my arse but that’s the impression I get.

It puts a few pounds on me but the benefits are worth it. H&F board has good discussion on this.

Essential.
When I slack on hydration I cramp up like a sonuva bee.

Yes, but I take 10g per day. Love it.

How's your cardio?

try to get to 10-15 for mental benefits….5mg for muscle/performance
spread it out throughout the day for stomach issue reasons

Yes. I take between 5-10 grams per day. When just starting g out, I took 10 grams because the muscles are hoarders of creatine, leaving little for the brain. Once the muscles are saturated, the other areas of the body start getting the benefits.
Several studies have shown cognitive benefits. It has been shown to basically offset sleep deprivation from a brain function standpoint, which is remarkable. It has also been shown to help with depression.

Yes, but I upped mine to around 12-14g and it's helped my mental clarity and energy throughout the day. I have mom doing it as well and she says how much it has improved her mood at work.

Yep and you have to go HCL

10-15 grams a day everyday. Mentally sharper and better workout recovery. I'm 48 and in the gym 4-5 days a week. I believe in creatine and it works. It that simple.

None.
I’m old. 59. Very active though.

There are quite a few studies that it’s beneficial for old geezers like myself who just hit the big 60. I’m pretty active and can most definitely feel more energy and endurance when I take it.

Why does the acid used to precipitate the creatine out of solution in the manufacturing process matter?

Nah. And it erodes teeth enamel
Posted on 11/30/25 at 1:01 pm to Sassafrasology
Yes 10g but inconsistently (probably remember 3-4 days/wk) maybe that's why I haven't ever noticed any effects

I have no idea where that lie was created/perpetuated but I have a beautiful grill.
Disagree.
