When to Take Creatine? Advice from Pat-Nutrition

Creatine: The Popular Supplement for Results

At Pat-Nutrition, we understand how important the right timing and quality of supplements are. Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the sports world. It supports strength, muscle growth, and recovery. But: when to take creatine for the best results? Here you can read our professional advice.

When to Take Creatine? Our Guidelines

Based on scientific research and practical experience, we at Pat-Nutrition advise the following:

1. After Your Workout

• Why? Immediately after your workout, your muscles are optimally able to absorb creatine.

• Our advice: Mix 3–5 grams of creatine with your post-workout shake or take it with a meal.

2. On Rest Days

• Why? Your muscles continue to use creatine, even without training.

• Our advice: Also take your daily dose of creatine on rest days, for example with your breakfast.

Should You Take Creatine Before Or After Training?

Although both times have benefits, after training is considered the most effective according to most studies. However, the most important factor is consistency: take creatine daily without skipping days.

How Much Creatine Do You Need?

At Pat-Nutrition, we recommend the standard dosage:

• 3–5 grams of creatine monohydrate per day
  A loading phase is not necessary unless you want faster results. In that case, take 20 grams per day temporarily, divided into multiple doses.

Taking Creatine With Carbohydrates?

Although creatine is absorbed faster with carbohydrates, such as fruit juice, it is not a requirement. Consistent use remains the most important.
