Creatine weight

Once fully saturated with creatine, will the supplement cause my weight to fluctuate or not?

I know weight changes when starting to load and will drop when creatine stops, but if I was to take 5-10g per day, would this cause any change of weight other than the initial weight/water gain?

    You only need 5 grams per day, after the initial gain it shouldnt make your weight fluctuate any differently then it normally would.

    Bottom line is no, once you're maintaining a dose and "loaded" you're not going to hit additional fluctuations... from the creatine
