The overall discussions emphasize that recent research, including reviews and specific studies, suggests the timing of creatine ingestion may not influence muscle gains or performance, with users referencing research articles and expert opinions. The tone is analytical and evidence-based, reflecting a shared interest in understanding how scientific findings translate to practical training decisions.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions reflect consensus that current research indicates timing of creatine supplementation may not significantly affect muscle gains or performance, as supported by multiple posts referencing studies and reviews.
InterestHigh interest
The discussions demonstrate high interest, with many posts sharing articles, videos, and reviews about the research on creatine timing, indicating curiosity and engagement with new findings.
EngagementHigh engagement
Posts often delve into detailed interpretations, referencing specific studies and arguing about the validity of timing strategies, showing deep engagement with the topic.
ImpactModerate impact
While the overall impact appears modest in terms of changing established routines, some posters highlight how the research could influence supplement strategies and training approaches, suggesting moderate impact.
Abstract in brief
Creatine supplementation is known to help increase muscle mass and improve performance during resistance training, but it is unclear if the timing of ingesting creatine makes a difference.
The review explores mechanisms like blood flow and insulin-enhancing foods that could potentially make creatine more effective when taken close to workouts.
It also evaluates existing research on creatine timing strategies and suggests future directions for studies to better understand if when you take creatine truly impacts muscle gains and performance.]

Does the “timing” of #creatine supplementation really matter?

Current body of research does not support timed creatine supplementation in relation to long(er) term training or in combination with other ingredients. ⏰

@Cmerbitz @Wendi_Irlbeck @IntSocietySN @RBKreider @EricRawsonPhD @CoachAlanBishop @BiggestComeback @ExphysPhD @asmithryan @JoseAntonioPhD @ProteinBoard No. Pre and post- exercise creatine basically give the same muscle benefits. There is even some research to indicate that you get the same benefits from am vs pm creatine.

@Petermc8 @DrCreatine @JoseAntonioPhD @mikeormsbee All the current evidence suggests that you can consume it daily and that the ‘timing’ of creatine is an irrelevant factor per se from a muscle perspective.

@Wendi_Irlbeck Hi Wendi! Love all your posts! Other than the study mentioned in the publication below, are there any other studies demonstrating that timing of creatine supplementation may be an important factor? Thank you
@cl_groves @PrimaryCarePAC @JoseAntonioPhD @AJagim @RBKreider @EricRawsonPhD @asmithryan @TrishaVD_PhD @MuscleDr_GBOPro @ZiegenfussTim We wrote a review with the author of the paper you mentioned. https://t.co/GeRgVL4TMi since this time, there is one more timing study showing no difference. We thought originally that after was slightly better but with more data it appears like there is no difference.

@DrAndyGalpin @DanOBrienPoker @hubermanlab Agree with @DrAndyGalpin We’ve shown that creatine ingestion before, during and after training are all viable strategies. Current research indicates that ‘timing’ may not be a significant issue as creatine accumulates in skeletal muscle.
