Article: When You Should Take Creatine

Kind of a waste of an article. Where is it written that you have to take it either before or after? I've had great results taking creatine pre as well as post workout for better saturation.
 
Creatine has no benefit from timing only loading, that can through large amounts consumed in a short period of 5days or over a longer steady intake.

Timing is not a factor in the slightest
 
Well, best case scenario would be to take it just before each meal. Creatine increases protein synthesis. This makes sense when you think about it. It attracts water to the muscle cells. So taking creatine just before bringing in large amounts of carbs would net a greater amount being partitioned to muscles instead of fat.

Loading is important for weight gain but 5g daily is enough to benefit from its performance benefits, especially pre-workout.

Creatine phosphate is used to restore ADP (Adenosine Di-Phosphates) to ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphates). However, the phosphate version of creatine is not very bioavailable after digestion so monohydrate is necessary for oral effectiveness. Any other type is a waste of time and money.

kind of a waste of a reply. who ever said it was written that you need to take it before or after? the article just states that both work.

and as far as you seeing results both ways the article even says it works both ways! just better post workout. good job bro
