Hi all
Ive always understood creatine consumption timing to not matter when you take it, as you're going to essentially just be topping off the endogenous levels of natural creatine that is already found in your body (and from what small amount you get from red meats).
However recently I stumbled across a few sources that stated the half life of creatine is just 3 hours, so wouldnt that mean that it would basically be a complete waste to take creatine right before bed (like I have been doing for all of this time?)
In other words, should I start taking creatine like just 1 hour before my workout for maximum effect?
cheers
