Im taking EAS Creatine PLus and EAS Whey Protein once a day, immediately after my workouts. Ive been doing this for 3 months now, ive noticed little gains but nothing incredible. Is this to be expected? Am i doing this right? Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated....:)

Been taking creatine every day for three months? And always the same quantity?
Try to do a search in here and you'll find lots of great posts about how, when, how much or often etc to take your supps.
Good luck!

Well i took the straight monohydrate with gatorade for about a week, it was giving me headaches so i tried the EAS stuff and its 5g creatine per serving plus the stuff mixed with it for flavor (i guess). It doesnt give me the headaches, and i feel more energetic.Protein drink is 20g protein in a flavoed shake you mix with milk. I only take these once on my workout days, which is 5 days a week!

Lots of people forget about the little important part of every creatine powder cycle every month. It is important, atleast from the research I have done, that you "load" up at the beginning of every month with creatine then take it once a day for the remainder of the month before loading up again. Do some searches on google for "Creatine FAQ" to find out more.

: For creatine to produce optimal results, muscle stores must be topped off or saturated with it. To accomplish this you need to load the creatine for 5 days at 20-25 grams, spread out throughout the day into 4-5 servings. This is the quickest and in my opinion the " best " way to saturate your muscles with creatine. Following this phase, all you need is to take 5-10 grams a day to maintain your saturation levels. After this, any creatine you take will be excreted as creatinine.
