When is the best time to take creatine?

[mozzwigan]

I use Reflex Creapure Creatine, When is the best time to use it for best results? And how much should I use?

 

[Stopstalking]

10 grams for the first week and then 5 grams after first week. Time of day isn't really important

I normally try to take mine post workout but as long as your taking it, it will be effective. Depending on what kind, mono you can do as stopstalking said. If you get the chance look into APS creatine nitrate stuff is wicked good.

I like post workout with a protein/carb shake.

Man your advitar is enough to make my test levels shoot before a workout dannnng!

ok what about taking creatine with your protein/carb shake post workout,mixed with milk,does the creatine still work right taken with milk?

 

[packers6211]

Yes back in the day many thought it was nothing but juice but if you will notice a lot of protein powders carry creatine in it. As long as your getting 5-10 grams daily your good.

I would stick with 5g pre 5g post if I were you.

I also like 5g pre and 5g post.

Excellent 5g Pre/5gPost Workout it is!

what about a none training day? 5g morning/5g late afternoon?

I personally dose only 5g a day and on workout days aim for 1hr to 45min pre workout as it takes around that long for creatine to hit the blood stream IIRC.

When not dosing monohydrate, I have had a great experience with Controlled Labs Green MAGnitude. Green apple taste is pretty killer
