Loading up on Creatine is 4 scoops a day, every 4 hours. This is done for 5-7 days, Usually 5 should be all you need.
Cycling is done every 2-3 months on with a month off. Smallest cycles are 3 weeks on 1 off.
You take 5g after workouts if you wish, or you can split doses and have approximately half before and half afterwards. Though a full dose may be taken before if you so wish.
You can stack it with a Protein shake as that's fine. Though this may dictate how you consume it if so.
You could do a 10g maintenance dose, though it's not necessary. if you do it's usually touted as 5g post workout then 5g before bed, but if you sleep less than 6 hours after a workout, have it in the morning.
I don't forsee any real need to go beyond the standard 5g.
Monohydrate will cause around 6-10lbs water weight.
Kre-alkalyn around 3-4. Supposedly no cycling, (better to cycle off it though).
Creatine Ethyl Esther, (CEE), no water retention supposedly. Supposedly no cycling, (better to cycle off it though).
Drinking it quickly is a must. It is not stable in water, so it will breakdown in approximately 5-15 minutes. This does not exclude the Gut, it will still cause a convesion to Creatinine whether in vivo or ex vivo. Some people think the faster it is consumed the less chance of conversion, which is wrong, it means more synthesis of stable Creatine, not blocking of the destabilisation process.
Ovviously don't drink Alcohol when using it, as it has an opposing effect to Creatine.
In general Womens Creatinine levels are around 0.5-1.1ng/dl, (Nanograms per decilitre, a Nanogram being a billionth of a Gram). Mens are 0.1 higher on average. Toxic levels are usually 10 ng/dl.
As Creatien is a combination of Amino Acid, it's better synthesised with something like Grape Juice or Gatorade as examples, though if it's stacked in a protein shake with carbs in, or a Carb free one with Carbs you've added, thne that's okay, you won't need additional Carbs.
I say this, as I'm not sure about how much Creatine conversion you'll get at any time, remembering of course people can ingest 2g a day on average, from Meat and Fish.
I'm saying that because I don't know your current levls or how Creatine may affect them, but it's better to be aware of this information. I highly doubt you'll have a problem in that respect.
There were reports about a year after Kre-alkalyn came out, saying that CEE was not necessarily 100% safe, nor could it bypass gut enzymes. If this were true, the Enzymes could strip off the Esther bond, leaving something little betrer than Monohydrate.
CEE was new at the time, so rumours were a Krealkalyn manufacturer put that out to scare people off CEE, but that to my knowledge was never proven one way or the other.
Hopefully that tells oy all you need to know. probably a little more than was necessary, but hey, better to say a bit too much, than not enough

She has a way of making it more understandable, even had a bone song with movement which was rather cool.I allowed myself a second coffee today as its high carb day, that is my one boo boo diet wise for the week, prefer to have zero mistakes but I'm feeling as though I need a pick me up, whether its caffeine or the mental freedom of allowing myself to be normal for a few minutes.Have a great holiday for the americans who drop by & a good weekend for everyone else too
