⏰The Best Time To Take Creatine (Science)

-------------------------------------

What is the best time to take creatine for muscle growth?

You see, creatine is a supplement with long-term effects. If you take creatine now, it will not be in your muscles the next hour.

Research shows it actually 2 full weeks of taking creatine before your muscles get saturated [1].

The most important thing is that you take about 5g of creatine monohydrate per day, regardless of timing, so that your muscles get saturated with creatine.

Now, if you care about optimizing the smallest details, one study found that taking creatine after training results in slightly better creatine absorption [2].

Likely because we tend to have improved nutrient absorption after training.

Fastest way to saturate is 20g a day for 5 days stack with glutamine, after 5 days continue 10g a day. There is no right or wrong time to take creatine!

You mean better metabolism after work outs : )
It’s true. Even the space cookie or chocolate can work within 40-50 minutes instead of 1, 5 hours
