I can’t remember, other than 5g, anything about when to take it! Is it 5g daily regardless or only when exercising? I thought it was pre but is it post exercise or does it not matter? I think, if I remember correctly, my plan was 5g on getting up with water? Would that be right?

I eat a diet fairly high in creatine. I was taking it post gym on gym days. But now I take it after breakfast every day. I didn't do the loading phase.

Shades Dec 2024 11:58am, 26 Dec 2024 5,505 posts	Quote Pin Shades I bought tablets as don't want the faff of mixing it and I don't care for shakes etc. My instructor said without loading it would take about 2 weeks to take effect. I'm definitely leaner and with minimal weight loss I'm losing inches. I am doing 4 gym sessions a week.
