Answer 1

I advise against using creatine. I also advise against aggressively building mass until you're 20 or so. Study posture instead, via yoga, t'ai chi, or martial arts teachers. You can stunt your growth by building mass so early. Also, you may not understand musculature well enough to put muscle on correctly. At the very least, use a physical trainer.

If you ignore this advice, then drink lots of water. Creatine sucks you dry.

Answer 2

The first way is called loading. This method works very well for anyone who has never taken creatine before. Just as the name implies, it involves loading up or saturating your muscles with creatine. During the first four days to a week, take 20 to 30 grams per day. Mix it with non-acidic juice or water. (Grape juice works well.) After this loading period, take a regular intake of between five to fifteen grams per day to keep your muscles saturated (no need to over do it). The other method is a more gradual approach to supplementing with creatine monohydrate. Over the course of an extended period, one basically skips the loading phase and just supplements with five to fifteen grams per day, everyday. The best results have been noticed when creatine is combined with a high carbohydrate base, such as dextrose (glucose) and taken about one-half hour before training.

The best part about creatine-no adverse effects have been reported in any studies. NONE! Creatine is totally safe and effective. Creatine has never been shown harmfully toxic. Nevertheless, just like with anything, it is not recommended to over-supplement once your muscles are saturated with creatine-there is no reason to. This means, stick to the recommended dosages.

Answer 3

You are using it the right way.
