Um, and the idea back then was that you need to do a wash out every 20 weeks or so where you just stop taking it, you urinate out a bunch of water, and then you re reload. And I confess, I've continued to do this minus the grape juice, but occasionally I'll do the grape juice thing. I don't think there's any real merit to the loading phase, maintenance phase idea. But back then and still now, I feel like creatine has made me feel great, um, stronger. Um, I did I wasn't aware of the cognitive benefits. They weren't being studied back then.
