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.
