Should I take creatine in the morning or at night?

Timing does not significantly impact its effectiveness. Because creatine works by building up a 'reserve' in your muscles over time, the most important factor is taking it every day. Many patients find it easiest to remember when taken with their morning vitamins or a post-workout meal.
