What kind?

Some tell you on the bottle.

Month on, month off is pretty common.

I did one 6 week cycle, followed by a month off, and now I am in the third week of another 6 week cycle.

No need to cycle creatine IMO.

No need to cycle creatine IMO.

its hotly debated. theres not much scientific evidence to support the need to cycle creatine.

on the one hand, its a fact that when you start ingesting chemicals your body produces naturally, your brain will stop your body from naturally secreting it. so when you start ingesting creatine your body wont make it naturally. when you stop, your body will start up again.

but is this harmful? its tough to say. i'm not a doctor so i just read medical journals. the general consensus is theres no solid evidence that suggests cycling is necessary. but theres also no long term studies on creatine, since it just became really popular in the 90s.

at the same time, i've personally seen people that have abused creatine. i know a guy that used 40g a day (the average is 5g/day) and he had to be hospitalized for kidney problems.
