I can second this, do NOT start at 25g of creatine. If you're too lazy to read the literature a friendly AI tool will summarize it.

If your intention is to take creatine long term, skip the loading phase.

It might take longer to see full effects, but who cares if you’re intending to take it indefinitely.

Most guidance I’ve seen says to start with a loading phase of 25-30g per day for several days, then go down to 5g per day maintenance.

If you're too lazy to read the literature, then just don't take it.

Going to something that frequently hallucinates or misstates things to the point where it's "trust, but verify by reading the source" means you may as well just read the literature you'd have to verify the summary against anyway.
