The recommended dosage may also vary depending on the form of creatine being used. For example, other forms of creatine like Creatine Hydrochloride (HCL) or Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) might require different dosages compared to Creatine Monohydrate. | The recommended dosage may also vary depending on the form of creatine being used.

A meta-study conducted in 2021, followed by another in 2022, reviewed the timing of creatine Supplementation around exercise and highlighted that the evidence supporting a specific timing (i.e., pre- versus post- versus during-exercise) remains limited and somewhat contradictory. The discrepancies in the existing data likely stem from differing supplementation protocols, sample populations, and training regimens across studies. Currently, adapting creatine timing specifically according to when training is performed is not backed by solid evidence and should not be a major concern. Both meta-studies emphasize the need for more well-controlled studies to determine whether the timing of creatine supplementation around training significantly influences intramuscular creatine content and its ergogenic effects. {{#pmid:34445003|pmid34445003}} | A meta-study conducted in 2021, followed by another in 2022, reviewed the timing of creatine Supplementation around exercise and highlighted that the evidence supporting a specific timing (i.e., pre- versus post- versus during-exercise) remains limited and somewhat contradictory.
