Creatine Dilemma

eerlover Posts: 9 Joined: 2006/01/20	2006/02/02, 01:55 PM My current supplement is through Six Star and 1 serving(1scoop) says is 56g. I take 1 pre and one post workout. Is this a normal amount or do I need to modify the intake. what is the maximum amount you can take during a loading stage.

There is some good info that will come up in a search and also browse through the supplement forum as there's literally thousands of posts on creatine. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
