How much creatine do you guys take?
The one I bought says to take :
Loading phase: 20gr for five days
Maintenance phase : 5gr two times daily
A creatine dose calculator found on this page http://www.creatinemonohydrate.net/ said that considering my weight I should take..
Loading Phase: 23.7 grams
Maintenance Phase: 2.4 grams
That site seems pretty straight forward...but the internet is full of false info...so what do you guys think |

The recommended dosage on the one you bought sounds about right mate, so go for it. You dont really need to account for weight/height and what not, 20 for loading and 5 for maintenance sounds about right. |

| I will never take NO-Explode or recommend it to anybody ever again. A few months back I bought a bottle and started taking it at the suggested dosage. Didnt see any results, then all of a sudden one night, my heart start beating about 150+ beats a minute when i was sitting down and I started to sweat and got some mean tremors. I laid down thinking it would go away and it only got worse. I ended up having to go to the ER because I thought I was gonna die. The Doc and I concluded it was from the NO-Explode, stopped taking it and have never had it happen again. Did some research online and saw that others have had similar events occur. I know this doesnt happen with everybody, but just be warned this stuff can be dangerous if your not careful. |

You said it, just be careful and monitor your body's response to it. Everybodies body reacts differently, and some people are more sensitive then others. I've been taking it for a while now with no adverse effects, i would say its not something for people that have just started supplementing and have no experience. But i dont believe its seriously dangerous. |

| I have been lifting for about 3 years now, taken a couple types of creatine and xyience and had no adverse effects with anything. But like you said, you just gotta be careful and know your body and monitor the effects. |
