What is creatine loading?

A typical loading phase involves taking 0.3g per kg of body weight daily for 5–7 days to saturate muscles, followed by a maintenance dose of 0.03g per kg daily.

Step 2: Dosage Parameters

99%

About purity

Most creatine monohydrate is 99%+ pure. This factor adjusts the effective dosage. For example, 5g of 99% pure creatine provides 4.95g actual creatine.

Creatine Formula

Daily Dose = Weight (kg) × Factor × (Purity/100)

Total loading = Daily load × loading days. For maintenance, multiply daily maintenance by number of days.
