Yes, this is what I have read too. As said earlier in the posts, normally an optimal amount is 5 grams per day. There have been people like nop that have had good benefits from more, not sure why.
I think a big part of the reason more is unnecessary is because your body ends up excreting a lot of it, so maybe some people can hold on to more. Of course as you go up and up, your body will retain less creatine for every gram you put in.
