How & When To Take Creatine For Muscle Growth | Nutritionist Explains... | Myprotein

When is the best time to take your creatine for muscle growth? Expert nutritionist answers this.
Richie Kirwin, an expert nutritionist, tells us the benefits of taking creatine and how it can help improve our performance. When we're in the gym, working out, the benefits of creatine improve our sprint performance, lifting more weight or doing more volume in the gym, and improves glycogen synthesis in your muscles (meaning you have a ready source of energy for continued exercise), improves anaerobic threshold (that’s your ability to do quick, very high intensity or explosive exercise) and even improves aerobic capacity too.
When is the best time to take creatine, before or after your workout? Richie answers that too.

    To answer further questions: 1. Yes you can mix creatine with your protein shake for even a better absorbtion, or any other drink of your liking. 2. Yes you should take your creatine and Protein even at your rest days, especially rest days are the days where the muscle growing starts happening.

    Thanks for the explanation! I started the gym again a few months ago. The preworkout I’m taking everyday has 5mg. I don’t workout every day (2-3 time a week) . I just consume it slowly throughout the day as an energy booster. I noticed I had phenomenal last reps strength. I could give another two reps no problem. Now it’s dying down on me. Perhaps I should up to 10mg a day as you mentioned. I’m 6ft4 205-210lbs. Pretty big on a strict carnivore diet💪
