TL;DR

The best time to take creatine is flexible; it can be taken before or after workouts, with consistent daily intake being most important. Pairing it with carbohydrates can enhance absorption, and a standard dose is 5 grams daily, with or without a loading phase. Regular use supports muscle strength, recovery, and brain health, but quality and safety of supplements should be verified.
