Its is horribly absurd. My suggestion is to take a cycle of: Sci-Fit Kre Alkalyn. I am taking this right now, its works and it is designed to keep a good pH level so there is no waste aka Cretanine. 4 pills a day, same for off days Another good creatine to take which I will go back to and stand by 100 percent is called Green Magnitude by Controlled Labs. It is in drink form. Very cost effective for the amount of servings you get. It is incredibly effective and you only take it once a day with 8 ounces of water about 15 mins before your work out. Drink it once on off days. The green apple flavor is just amazing. I can't say enough good things about this creatine supplement, but Ill give you one more. While deployed, I worked out with a guy who is on the strength and conditioning staff for the Diamondbacks. I got him on this supplement and he never looked back. As with all creatine supplements, check with your doc first to be certain its right for you. Cycle it for 12 weeks then off for 4 weeks
