I take mine with my post-workout shake purely so I don't forget. On rest days just with breakfast. Hasn't mattered which, the strength gains came either way once I was saturated.

And don't cycle off it. There's no need. It's not a hormone, you just take 5g a day forever. Stopping just means you slowly desaturate and lose the benefit for no reason.

So the verdict is basically: cheap monohydrate, 5g daily, skip loading, take it whenever, don't cycle. Anything else is a tax on not reading the research.

You've got it exactly. Put the money you saved toward more food, that'll do more for your physique than any premium creatine ever will.
