??????
Five grams sufficient for most average sized athletes.
Larger athletes may benefit from slightly higher dosing.
Saturation depends on bodyweight and muscle mass.
Loading phase unnecessary if consistent daily intake.
Excess beyond saturation simply excreted harmlessly.
Consistency matters more than increasing dosage aggressively.
Some prefer ten grams split doses daily
Monitor stomach tolerance before raising intake levels.
Performance gains plateau once stores fully saturated.
Five grams daily works reliably long term.
