@Kevin. It’s not important so long as it’s not first thing in the morning, as studies show it is used better if taken later in the day.

@Ikky. That’ll work. Just will take a little longer.

@Fracisco. The studies show that timing clearly is important.

@Jason. Yeah if training in the morning, take it after training. I take it intra, but I train at 4pm at the earliest.

@Andreas. On rest days, any time except morning, since it is utilized better later in the day. A specific time is not important on rest days.

@Fabrice. In the morning, take your creatine after you finish training in your shake. Caffeine *may* have a negative effect, not a positive effect. But you would have caffeine before training anyway, at least 30 mins before and creatine after finishing, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Whey protein stimulates a release of insulin, there’s no need to add sugars for insulin. Many people say differently, but they’re usually ignorant (and fat).

However, you won’t have a post workout shake? So, on rest days when is best or does it not matter.

I will take the 5g dose after when I get home from the gym for best results. However, I do train in the morning, (best time for me).

Thanks Mark.

What would be the best timing for creatine on rest days? In the morning together with the protein shake?

How are they supposed to supplement with creatine?
Why is it better to take it in the evening? Is it better absorbed when you go to bed after having taken creatine?
What about the recommendations to take it with simple sugars like juice?
What about taking it with caffeine? (Some say it has a positive effect)
