Hi all, everyone I talk about this and everywhere I look, it is always recommended to never take more than 5g of creatine per day.
So, what happens if we do?
Bonus: how is it always 5g regardless of body weight?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Thank you guys, appreciate the clarification!

Nothing really. 5g is a normal daily dose (for after the completely unnecessary loading phase of 20-30g/day). Even taking a lot more doesn’t do anything for most people–just makes your kidneys work harder and can bother some people’s stomachs.
Bonus: It’s 5g no matter the body weight for the same reason 60g/day is the recommended amount of fat. It just assumes everyone is a 150-170 lb sedentary male.
