Most people are aware of the different stages of creatine cycling i.e. the loading stage the maintenance stage and finally the rest stage before repeating and so on now this is all well and good but the constant repetition of this cycle can reduce its effectiveness long term in my opinion even taking into account the rest period where you are not taking any creatine at all.
I recommend the following variations which I personally use myself.
Loading Stage
Cycle 1 - 20g Creatine per day (1 week only)
Cycle 2 - 25g Creatine per day (1 week only)
Maintenance Stage
Cycle 1 - 10g Creatine per day (5 weeks only)
Cycle 2 - 15g Creatine per day (4 weeks only)
Rest Stage
Cycle 1 - No Creatine for 3 weeks
Cycle 2 - No Creatine for 4 weeks
These variations will help keep the body guessing when it comes to your creatine consumption and should ensure that whatever brand or form of creatine you are using you will enjoy maximum effectiveness.

Creatine is a great supplement, but have you ever tried Kre-Alkalyn? It's a buffered type of Creatine that has higher PH levels and therefore better absorption. So you don't need to ingest as much as regular Creatine.
I am a great believer in using different forms of Creatine and while I use powdered form in the main I do still use Creatine Serum and also Creatine in capsule form such as Kre-Alkalyn.
