if it's regular mono, i'd say it doesn't matter when, as long as you take it every day consistently. I've taken it immediately in the morning, post workout, pre workout, to me it doesn't matter.

You can take it whenever. Personally, I take it with my most sodium-rich meal of the day, but if you're taking a designer creatine (Green Magnitude, for instance) follow the label's instructions.Originally Posted by Chenstar2010

I'm taking ON creatine monohydrate. I see it's good ratings here on BB. I've just recently finished my loading stage. How many times should i take now? Once a day immediately after workout? Maximum of how many grams?

For future reference, a loading phase is unnecessary. 3-5g/day maintenance depending on your personal preference.Originally Posted by Chenstar2010

take it whenever it's convenient, post workout is good cuz you can jsut thrown it into your protein shake, or even in the morning with breakfast, its up to you but ya 3-5g per day since you finished loading, however i usually don't load so for me its about 5g everyday..no harm done though just keep getting your dosage every day no matter when.Originally Posted by Chenstar2010

Quick ? to add on as I'm about to start taking it as well...
