M:)ake sure you read more about the Creatine that you are taking. I was taking it but I stopped after reading studies about the possible long term effects.

Any information on said study? A link, a quote? Please don't post you opinions as fact unless you can back up what you imply with sound literature.

i usually take 5g a 1/2 hour before a workout and 5g after with my protein shake about a half hour after the workout. taking creatine before a workout helps your muscles work harder and longer through the workout while taking it after helps muscle growth.
