At least 80oz a day.

AnswerI don't know what 80oz is in litres, but at least 2 litres a day and possibly more. By the time you feel thirsty, you are all ready mildly dehydrated.

In the loading phase of your creatine use, you will also need to increase your water intake.

Personally, I tend to drink upwards of 3 litres a day due to creatine.

you can see the amount of water you need for creatine on its package.it is mostly said minimum 2 litrs a day.otherwise it hurts your kidney.

First of all creatine does not make you feel thirsty. Creatine is metabolized by your body to creatine phosphate. In your muscles, this molecule donates a phosphate group to the expended ATP energy molecule, known as ADP, to convert it back to ATP. (D=di T=tri).

To do this it needs lots of water, so your muscle tissues absorb water and bulk up, much like wilting plants stand up when watered. This takes water away from your vital organs, so you must drink more to compensate.

A gallon each day is about average (4 liters).

Once you stop taking creatine, you have all this water in your tissues not being used, so you should take diuretics to get rid of it! Your muscle bulk will also deflate, which is why many athletes and bodybuilders never stop until they retire.

Will creatine mask marijuana?

No, the reason ppl take creatine is because they sometimes test your creatine level as a control. So if you are planning on diluting your urine by drinking a lot of water, you should take creatine for at least 3 days before hand to make sure your levels are normal after dilution.AnswerI agree with its point of view. creatine wouldn't mask marijuana's composition.

Can you take 2 kre alkalyn pill before work out even it says take one pre and 1 post workout and take protein sheak after work out?

Yes, you can take 2 pill's of Kre-Alkalyn before you start you're work out but it will not bring you best results. The reason why you should drink 1 before workout and 1 after is that Kre-Alkalyn is 15 times stronger than regular creatine which means 1 pill is enough to keep the body well supplied during training and the other after training is to replenish the creatine that was used by you're body during exercise so that you creatine levels are constant after workout which will result in better muscle growth.

Do you take creatine with hot or cold water?

Most of the first studies done on creatine were with hot tea, which the warm water fully dissolved the creatine faster and more efficiently. Others believe cold water is fine since the creatine will be in the gut and will be warm enough to dissolve before digestion. IMO I would say mixing it with warm water (not hot) would be best, this way you get the creatine fully dissolved without denaturing the creatine with too hot of water.


Can you take creatine with water pills?

You can mix creatine with diet pills. It would not hurt anything or cause any negative side effects. Creatine provides energy to the muscles in your body.
