How much Creatine - Female

Hey all, I'm going to start taking creatine, and I was just wondering how much you guys think I should take per day since I'm a female and obviously smaller than the typical male bodybuilder. (I'm not gonna load, I'm just gonna do the same amount per day thing). So for you guys, Alex says 3 grams per day is fine, but that's probably too much for me I would think. (I'm 5' 9" and about 135 pounds). Maybe 2 grams per day?

yea fit try 2-3 g and see what happens..should be fine

I do a heaping teaspoon which equals 5 gm pre and post everyday that I workout and I am 5'6 128 lbs. I have had no issues and great workouts.

Thanks Jeno! I'll start with 2 and see what happens. Have you noticed much water retention from it? I was on it a couple of years ago, but I can't remember what happened in terms of whether I felt bloated or not . . .

Nope, no bloating... I have had no negative effects.
