Creatine monohydrate is very useful for people looking to gain muscle mass.
Yes, it's absolutely safe to consume creatine in the prescribed dosage. The prescribed period of intake is 1 month which you can divide into the loading phase and maintenance phase.
Loading phase: You will have the supplement 4 times a day with 500 ml of juice/water each time for a week
Maintenance phase: After the first week, you can have the supplement once a day with 500 ml juice/water for 4 weeks (2nd to 5th week).
