Should you take a water pill with creatine?

Answer 1

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.
