All these companies talking about taking it multiple times a day are trying to get you to finish the product quicker so you can run and restock. All these different brands of creatine have is different transport mechanisms. Di, tricreatine malate is a salt, CEE is esterfied, ect. But in the end, creatine really is creatine, and whatever method or brand you use, you'll all fill up your creatine stores at some point in time. If I take regular creatine mono and someone else takes the latest and greatest new form of creatine "whatever", in a few weeks we'll both be saturated. The difference is that your wallet will be a lot lighter than mine!
So besides the fact that I'm paying to much for something I can get for less, are you also sggesting that I don't have to take it multiple times a day? Bear with me, like allot of newbies, I'm trying to figure my way through this maze. Thanks.

Creatine mono: 10 grams once a day. I take mine postworkout and in the mornings on non training days.

Most other forms could be pre and postworkout.

I separate mine into pre and post. That feels better for me than one big dose postworkout. I've done it both ways though. I doubt most, after they have reached "saturation" actually need 10 grams. 5 would probably do and general as low as 2 t o5 grams have been shown to be sufficient for maintenance. I know of course that most will go for at least 5.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
