I'd take it right when you wake up, just to keep your cells saturated.

If you just take the same dose of creatine every day at the same time... should it matter what time it is? Whether before or after workouts?... whether morning or evening?


Maybe initially it may have some advantage... but after you establish creatine levels in your body, why does it matter when you take it?


I'm just curious.. because i hear people suggesting different times..

Before workout... after workout.. before and after in 2 doses... morning and evening.. etc.. etc..

I think once you are done with your "loading" phase you just need to take the recommended "maintenance dose" but I would try and take it at the same time during the day. I am a big fan of keeping a routine. I take it at 0430 when I wake, before I lift, then at 1900, before I go to bed. Always with a tablespoon of dextrose!
