Creatine loading dosage?

Question

Is it necessary to load creatine? I've heard that it may be a scheme to get you to repurchase faster or it is actually needed to get creatine in your system?

How much should i take on the loading period and how much water should i consume. I'm 133 lbs. and do lightweight boxing.

Answer 1

Only creatine monohydrate requires an initial loading phase.

Other sorts of creatine products don't. Do some reading on the topic. Bodybuilding.com has some great articles about creatine.
