I have just started taking creatine and I have heard most people say to take it before lifting. However, i have recently been reading that it should be taken after lifting. The theory behind taking it afterward being that after the loading period you maintain a higher than natural level of creatine in your body. Therefore you don't need to take it prior to your workout for the prolonged endurance while lifting, but rather after you lift for aiding in recovery and drawing water into your muscles.
So anyway, before or after? what are you opinons?
Thanks
