Creatine Timing Demystified: Consistency Wins

TL;DR Summary
Experts say creatine timing is flexible; take a 5 g daily dose, before or after workouts works about the same, and pairing it with 30–50 g of carbs can boost uptake. A loading phase isn’t necessary; peak absorption occurs 1–2 hours after ingestion and lasts about four hours. Choose a third-party tested product and consult a clinician if you have health conditions; consistency is key for strength gains.
