What happens if we exceed the recommended 5g of creatine intake per day?

279 views

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!

I think what is recommended is to not exceed 5g a day, because you don’t get the benefit any more as your muscles are saturated.

Too much creatine leads to bloating and stomach discomfort.

So, nothing major if you exceed it but just no more benefit
