After the loading phase you will Then take it once a day. Be sure to cycle the stuff and drink lots of water. 4 weeks on 4 weeks off. ~billk~

Effervescent cratine which is the type that I'm using requires an empty stomach for quick deposition into the small intestine for uptake into the bloodstream and to be taken one hour before my workout. Post workout I take another 5 mg along with my glutamine. Maintenance doses is based on bodyweight less or greater than 225#'s. So research the type of creatine you're using.
