Con-Cret creatine before or after work out?

[SmallShrimp]

On the bottle of Con-Cret it says to take 30-45 minutes prior to working out. But on other sites and youtube videos people say to take post work out. Help?

I take mine prior to working out 👍.. I have some friends that take it both prior and post but before with your PWO you will be fine.

Con-cret dosage timing does not make a major difference. I personally just mix it with my pre workout and it adds some good flavor too.

I do the latter. Both pre and post.

Honestly man it's up to you. You could experiment with both (doing only pre and another of pre and post) at different time periods to see what works better with your body.

Timing doesn't matter, I take mine in the morning, and also you should stick with monohydrate, concret is creatine hydrochloride which is underdosed/****ty imo

I take pre and post as well. But want to try pre and intra for a while and see if there's any difference.

I can take it right after c4 as a pre workout and be fine?

Just mix it in with it.

2g pre and 2g post is what I do

timing is irrelevant

Most people prefer taking it before with there pre-workout.

Con-cret is taking before workout. Some people like to use it as they feel best though.

Hey Jonyothan i am curious could you elaborate on where HCl (Con-Cret) in particular since you stated it is underdosed. According to market research it actually is dosed at the correct amount.

Combination of research and trying it for myself. Creatine hydrochloride is creatine bound with hydrochloric acid. It’s turned into a basic creatine molecule by stomach acid and no research has yet proven it to be any more effective than monohydrate. Like other forms of creatine, creatine HCL may be more water soluble than monohydrate, but this has no effect on absorption. Therefore since you are taking a smaller dose, pretty much the size of a pea, you're getting maybe 1g of creatine at most, while I like to take 5g mono a day, my experience on creatine hydrochloride, nitrate, malate, etc. has been rather ****ty, rendering little to no gains as apposed to taking monohydrate, plus it is usually more expensive per serving too.

I'm not saying that it doesn't work, just the amount you are taking per serving is far too little to hinder any sort of noticeable gains whatsoever, if they didn't have the "micro dosing" it would most likely perform the same way as a monohydrate would.
