Nope, doesn't matter. Creatine can be taken whenever. Even though it says to take 30 mins prior to workout, i think the label says you can take it during or post either because it really does not matter....just take your creatine is the simple truth about it.

I'd just stick to GM preworkout (30-45 min) and PW during. You want to be able to get the creatine available during your workout (and it takes time to go through your bloodstream)

GM pre
PW during

Works good for me.

Goodluck

There's no proven way to take creatine and have it work better. Just take it....THE END.

Yes it makes a difference. MAGnitude (MUCH more than just creatine) was formulated for PRE / DURING workout

Take it PRE / DURING workout if / when possible

30 minutes pre, but I still wouldn't mix them personally

yeah, there are some benefits to taking green mag pre instead of intra, so stick with it pre if possible. still great intra, buts its a notch higher taken pre

If someone has scientific data on this i'd be more then happy to read it, but I don't think there is. I really don't think there is much more of a benefit either way.....it's just beneficial for a bodybuilder/athlete to take creatine....period.

Thats what I assumed. I agree JC. CL stated that its best to take it pre however and maybe he has done some research of his own and enlighten both of us.
Since this is a mag wrath thread, I also have a question. Im not so sure I understand what purple wrath actually does. Can anybody explain to me what it is, what it does and why should I use it with my Green mag?

cervasa1977 · 01-19-2009, 01:47 PM

I would stick with GM pre and PW during.....if you want to flood your system with PW befor hitting the gym mix 1 scoop of GM and PW together about 30 mins prior then sip on 1 scoop during.

And that's exactly where you're getting off track. MAGnitude isn't "creatine period", it includes other goodies and was designed for pre-workout.

Take it PRE / DURING workout if / when possible

....and that's just fine if that's what YOU want to do (for whatever reason).

If you want to experience the difference for yourself: Take it PRE / DURING workout if / when possible

It takes around 30 minutes for plasma creatine levels to peak. Because MAGnitude has other goodies (BEYOND CREATINE) for endurance / focus and volumization, consider taking the MAGnitude pre-workout (those with a sensitive stomach like to split the dosage: 1/2 serving pre.... 1/2 serving post).

Post-workout, focus on protein / aminos / carbs / electrolytes and a QUALITY solid food meal.

Beyond solubility, the timing of ingesting creatine may also allow an athlete to take less. The latest research on "Differential effects of training on the control of skeletal muscle perfusion" (Delp M., Med. Sci. Sport & Ex. Vol. 30, #3, pp. 361-374) indicate some potential advantages for uptake by type II muscle fibers while they are perfused with blood relative to high intensity workloads. Basically we are trying to get the creatine into the blood while the metabolic window for uptake by the target muscle fiber (type II, fast twitch) is open, while the fiber is perfused with blood.

Thanks. You stated during workout if i took a bottle of Mag in the gym would the creatine loose its effectiveness being unstable mixed with the water for a duration of a workout. I spend about 3-4hours in the gym

touchofevil04 · 01-20-2009, 09:03 PM

Any problem with taking all three pre wk? gm,pw,wf...

Dracoy · 01-20-2009, 09:18 PM

PW is best intra-workout.

1) Fitty, is that you ?

2) No, you're good to go

3) 3-4 hours in the gym, can we get some more detail ? (Sounds insane [ = I might like it ])

I've gone through 4 tubs of PW already and have had great results taking it immediately pre-workout. I can't stand drinking sugary tasting stuff during my workout so I don't use it intra. It most likely is more effective intra, so if you can stomach it then take CL's recommendation. I'm sure they know what they're talking about. But if you're like me, it's ok you can take it pre and not ruin the results.

As far as Green Mag, I was able to get a tub recently for really cheap so I will be starting that in two months, again taking it pre-workout.
