Can you give me some advice about taking USN Muscle fuel?

Hi Alec

Muscle Fuel Anabolic probably contains about 3 to 7 grams of creatine, so you could take it once per day and you would probably fully top up your creatine levels in 20 or 30 days.

On training days, take the Muscle Fuel Anabolic immediately after training and on non-training days, take it either first thing in the morning or between breakfast and lunch - insulin function works better in the morning, so you would be likely to store more protein, creatine and carbs in the muscle at that time of day and you'd likely also store less fat.

I believe that this product advises not to take it along with other creatine products. However, some creatine products contain 10 or more grams of creatine per serving. This includes Cell-Tech, which tends to get the best feedback for pure muscle and strength gains or any creatine product. Some studies also imply that more than 5 grams of creatine may be required to maximize and retain optimum creatine levels in muscle. Also, if you want to "load" your creatine (achieve maximum levels in muscle) in 5-days instead of 20 to 30, then you have to take more like 4 servings of 5 grams daily for five days.

So what I'm trying to say is that it is both safe and probably somewhat more effective to take a little more creatine daily than just the one serving from Muscle Fuel Anabolic.

Also, I don't see any reason not to take this supplement twice daily if you are trying to make rapid gains in size and strength.

That's a great reply much appreciated, can I ask thou is it possible to overdose or exceed creatine intake?

Hi Alec,

Of the thousands of studies and safety reviews and of the millions of creatine users (including myself who has used creatine for about 48 weeks per year out of the last 12 years), there is still no evidence of ANY negative side effect of creatine...and that includes all this talk about bloating, water retention and cramping.

So in that sense, you aren't likely to over-dose on creatine. Having said that, taking more than 10 grams per day for more than the first few weeks is just a waste. Somewhere between 5 and 10 grams per day is probably the optimum dosage but that will vary depending upon the person. There is evidence that 3 grams per day may work well for most people but any less is not supported by the research.
