Best taken 1/2 hour or so BEFORE a workout and again RIGHT after a workout.

What I do is take a creatine/juice/protein drink about a half hour before a workout and than another shake right after.

This "bracketing" technique helps set up an anabolic (muscle-building) state for your muscles and helps prevent muscle breakdown from a workout (catabolism).

Other than these 2 opportune times, you can add another creatine serving or two any time throughout the day.

I usually recommend 25 to 30 grams of creatine on a loading phase and 10-20 grams a day on a maintenance phase.

this is right? i thought also have to take creatine in early morning on non-workout day.

i only know when time to drink protein. i drink protein and creatine together?

I know this is discussed a lot in the supplement forum. I think they even have a sticky on the topic over there.

Read the directions on the tub. It will say "Take 30 minutes BEFORE you work out".

This is what I do with my whey and Green MAGnitude. About an hour or so before working out I will take some whey and some carbs, this will help give me fuel for my work out. About 30 minutes before, I will take one scoop of Green MAGnitude, mixed with "x" amount of water. Once I return from the gym I will take another protein shake, then usually have some sort of food about an hour or two after.

This seems to help. Hope this has helped you.

doesnt matter, you eat red meat dont you? that has creatine in it and im sure you eat red meat whenever you want. But I take mine before i workout. And you do not need to cycle creatine.

There are directions on the container for a reason.

The amounts of creatine in red meat are so low, it's not even funny.
