How often should you take creatine?!


Question: How often should you take creatine?
I just heard you're supposed to take it for like two months then stop for one, then take it again. Is this true?

Answers:

You can cycle. This is to prevent any long term damage. If you had your doctor run a Metabolic panel (not very expensive) every 6 months or so .. you could easily check your kidney and other function to ensure there is no problems and essentially would never have to stop.

That said, it isn't a had idea to take a break every once in a while.. Gains made on creatine don't go 'away' with discontinuation, however the water weight gained will drop. Which generally just makes you look better anyway.
