How often should I take a break from creatine? Also do I really need to creatine load when I start up again as this can be quite expensive would 5grams a day be ok. Would also like to know when’s the best time to take your creatine as most people say after your workout? Any help on this would be great.

I think 2 weeks is a good break time...I do 5 grams before workout and 5 grams after. That's it. Honestly, meat has plenty of creatine. Walmart sells creatine for cheap by their body fortress brand.

Oh, cool, I gotta check that out. This was the only thing I was going to Garbage Nutrition & Chemicals for anymore. Thanks for the info!
