Quick one for you all. Bottle says after the loading stage to use one rounded teaspoon once a day. prolab website indicates for reg maintenance period, take one rounded teaspoon 2 times daily. I am using the ProLab creapure creatine. Once the loading phase is done at what times daily sould I take it (ie before and after workout etc) and on my non training days do I cut down to one dosage? Thanks and sorry about another post on this topic.

5 gs after the loading phase should be fine.

after your workout will be fine,
take it half way in your PWO shake
dont mix it in your PWO shake though, take it seperatly

YO RAJ,
why not?

Because you should sip half of your shake for 45 minutes or so and drink the creatine all at once.

If you do use it twice per day, I am sure the suggestion would be to use it pre and post workout. Many do this. It may or may not be necessary, this is a choice, but many swear by it.

you're supposed to drink it all immediately. i stick a tablespoon of the powder in my mouth and swallow it with water, that way it's never sitting.
