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.
