how long does it take for creatine to work

i am training hard so when will i see the benefits  

give it a few weeks

what are you taking pure creatine mono? or are you taking like cell tech/no-xplode something like that?

dont think that because your taking creatine you dont have to have as much protein, make sure your diet is well proportioned.

5g creatine a day is good
1g/lb of protein is good



and if your taking no-xplode expect to hear from "the masterpeice" lolol  

i find it hard to eat that much protein also i dont like protein shakes u got n e pics  

nah i dont have any pics of me on my comp

im just saying creatine works better with a good diet, you cant just rely on it its not a miracle supplement its a natural substance found in meats and some seafoods.  

monohydrate  

How much water are you drinking? Without creatine, I am drinking 2 gallons/ day, but then again, I eat 350g of protein a day. Be sure to drink more water, and up protein intake, as creatine increases protein synthesis.

agree'd  

try mucscle milk your protien instake. It tastes alot better so it is easier to swallow.

bro If you haven't tried next nutrition designer whey you don't know what you're missin' ($26 for a 5 lb. can) also look into protein bars. The tops are met-rx big 100, myoplex deluxe & nitro-tech.

hope this helps......

If you dont care for powder protein shakes...straight from the jug - the do what I do:

In a blender mix about 1/2 to 1 cup skim milk, with your protein powder, then add a small handful of frozen, un-sweetened berries (any type - fresh berries are great too of course, but i like frozen because it makes it taste like more of an ice cream drink - if that makes sense), and add a banana if you want. I usally add about 8 mg. of glutamine powder also as long as you take it at least a few hours after you take your creatine. Mix it all together and it tastes great. Adds a few calories I know, but it is worth it if you have a hard time downing the basic mix. Plus it seems more filling so dont have to as large of a meal or snack.

I dont take all my protein shakes like this, but it is nice every once in a while when I have a little more time.  

creatine should work right away, but ur not gonna see physical change until like 2-3 weeks later, it takes time to grow, but ur strenth should shoot up like a couple days after taking it.  

what creatine gave you the best results?  

did you do loading or just start 10 grams a day.i think with loading it,you should feel it in about a week or 2.without loading i believe its a month  

I've gotta take a dump. I'm going to leave it with the "Loading on creatine" theory where it belongs.

POOP!  

you dont believe in loading creatine dumpy?

a few weeks to see results but to feel them a few days  

get creatine ethyl ester. blows anything else out the water. tastes like horses ass with marmite on it though.

edit: oh and why is this in the competitors section?  

Luke, this thread is 9 months old.  

holy shi*t why is it high up the competitiors section then?  

lol probably bc no one writes in that section. oh well  

Yeah, that and its in the wrong place altogether.  

Hi I'm using creatine combo at the moment, in genral it will take about 6-8 weeks before anyone will notice gains and or mass, I'm using a creatine mono in a pharmacutical grade, witha another product that has whey protien, gluatimene, and also a lower grade creatine to the mono and both together allows me to pump harder reps for longer, but everyone is diff. it's an aust product made by vital strength check out there web site !

wtf 9 months old? i thought it was new. lol.
anyway good thing luke got it out cause i learned a little bit from this thread. just the answers i was looking for
thanks  

your welcome S.W.A.T. thats why i posted it bro PS all creatine is crap compared to ethyl ester! peace  

I see the results of creatine (CE2) in one workout. I take 3000 mg a day and as long as I drink about 2 or 3 liters of water a day I always see the results.  

this is a very old thread, before you post its good to look at the top left and make sure the thread is still current.  

thank god for creatine mono, no loading here ,took me a month of good work outs to see the diference.  

I tried out cell tech creatine...

the green flavor..

but man that stuff was NASTY!

i think i might get some of those mono pills from gnc..

then some of that muscle milk that bbcommunity recommended
