When people talk about a creatine cycle they are referring to a high dose loading phase, followed by a lower dose maintenance phase, and finally a period where you take no creatine at all. This is bro-science, with the cycling off phase being entirely unnecessary. The idea of needing to cycle off creatine was based around two ideas. The first is the concern about possible health risks associated with daily consumption. However, there are no health issues related to daily supplementation with creatine. The second reason relates to the idea that if you can no longer feel a noticeable benefit when training, then the creatine must not be working. However, our bodies physiological systems don’t just work that way. Just because you don’t notice the effects, doesn’t mean they are not happening.
