I've read several studies and talked to several trainers that say there's no need for a loading phase...that's just a marketing ploy to sell more creatine. I didn't load and used it only on my heavy muscular workout days, and saw effects; it was the only time I could actually gain weight while burning over 5000 calories/day. Of course a lot of that is water weight, but there are more gains than that.
HOWEVER (!) there was one study done suggesting that creatine causes the production of three-headed sperm! (I wish I could find a reference...I was only told that by a trainer friend who thoroughly researched Creatine)
