WHAT IS A CREATINE DOSAGE?
To calculate your creatine dose according to the original scientific studieneed to know your body weight in kilograms. If you do not know off handdivide your weight in pounds by 2.2 to get your weight in kilograms. For if you weigh 154 pounds, your kilogram weight is 70 (154 2.2=70).
Next, multiply your kilogram weight by the appropriate dosage. Therecommended loading dose is 0.3 grams of creatine for each kilogram th
weigh. The maintenance dose is ten-times less, or 0.03 grams of creatinekilogram of body weight.
Therefore, to calculate the loading dose for a person weighing 70 kilograsimply multiply 0.3 by 70. This gives a loading dose of 21 grams per day. Tmaintenance dose, on the other hand, will be 2.1 grams per day.s 70 (1542.2=70).

While the original studies seemed to have been done using a warm liquidthe first creatine studies, there's not a shred of CURRENT evidence to suthat undissolved creatine monohydate will be any less effective than nea
dissolved micronized creatine monohydrate. Micronized just mixes mucas the particles are much smaller.
