Is this correct?

johnguy Posts: 104 Joined: 2003/01/29	2003/02/18, 05:14 PM I have read so much info on this site that people are saying and it is not all the same. Right now while loading creatine I am taking 15g a day. 5g, 5g, 5g, befor - after workout, and later at night. I am gona do this for 5 days. Then take a maint. dose of 5g a day before my workout, 6 days a week. for my cycle. That is the dose rec. on the bottle. Does this sound like I am on the right path? thanks ahead.

I would always take the 10grams a day. Hope this helps you. BTW no questions are annoying, that how we learn look at my quote. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt! Ivan Montreal Canada

Never used this stuff before so even 5G a day is more then I was taking. If I like it when the 300G is gone, I can get prolab I found out at another store for $32 for 600G. A friend of mine that works for GNC said they have very pure product, and its tested a lot for purity. That coming from a good friend. At worst, I guess if i take to much, it just comes out back out! Kinda like expensive wast.

GNC is somewhere in the US. and same with prolab. Now maybe they are German, however they don't state that. What brand do you use that you know is German made?
