Q: Do you think it's necesary to load when starting to take creatine? Cause I read that it's not essencial as people thought. If not how much(g) should I start taking each day in how many doses?

A: As you said, there are arguments for both approaches, but I've never seen a study that found that non-loading gave better results than loading. So I would still recommend loading approach. Typical dosage during a week-long loading phase is 15-20 grams of creatine per day split into 5g portions. Post-loading maintenance is 5-10 grams per day, again with 5g portions.

Best times to take creatine is to dissolve it in a little bit of water and drink about 15 minutes before a solid meal. That way the insulin response to the carbs and protein will carry creatine into the muscles. Typical meal choices are pre-breakfast and before the post-workout meals since these meals tend to be the biggest. But you can really do it before any meal.

Remember that creatine will not make up for a deficient diet or program, so always focus on those basics first. Also, around 20-30% of the people don't respond to creatine. For the rest it can be a useful supp in building muscle and strength.
