Hello,
I just started taking cell tech creatine. From what i read, this is a good supplement to take to add mass (I am a hard gainer). During the loading stage, the instructions say to take 10g in the am and 10g 12 hours later. My problem is with the high amounts of sugar, taking this supplement after 6PM keeps me awake (I am senitive to sugar late in the evening).
My question is, if I take my first dose at 8AM, can I take the second dose at 4PM?
Would I be better off taking the cell tech in the AM and just creatine alone in the PM without the sugar? Will I get the same benefits? I know the loading stage is only 5 days, but i'd rather not lose sleep for 5 days.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

You need the sugar for the creatine to work (especially in non-responders). You should be ok to take this earlier without having to stick to the 12-hour window.

Just take it right after training. Do not take the evening dose, you do not need it. If you are in your loading stage, use the cell tech only post training(insulin spike), and use a plain micronized creatine the rest of the time. Do not have that many spikes, it will ruin your insulin sensitivity.
