I know there is an initial loading phase of roughly 10g of creatine per day. Can a healthy person still take 10g per day after the loading phase? I have also seen to take .1g per kg of body weight.
Yes.

Thanks. I’m gonna give 10g/day a try!
Does more help? Or is there a certain point where your muscles are saturated and more doesn’t matter? I’ve only ever read 5mg a day.
Once your muscles are fully saturated with creatine (usually after the loading phase or a few weeks of consistent use) taking more than 5g per day doesn’t really add much benefit. 10g a day won’t hurt most healthy people, but it’s more than what your body typically needs to maintain saturation. I personally stick with 5g daily and it works great. Just make sure to stay well-hydrated while taking it!
