When Should You Take Creatine?
This is one of the most common creatine questions, and the honest answer is: timing is famously not a big deal with creatine. Because it works by building up in your muscles over time rather than giving an immediate hit, the important thing is taking it consistently every day — not the exact hour. Morning, around a workout, or with a meal all work.
Some people take it around their workout out of habit, but the evidence doesn't point to a magic window the way it might for a stimulant pre-workout. Pick whatever time you'll remember reliably and stick with it. On rest days, still take it, since it's about overall saturation, not a pre-exercise dose. Consistency beats timing every time.
