It is suggested that creatine should be supplemented 30 minutes before training or during training to maintain the energy provided by body muscles, ensure the training level and training state, and prevent muscle fatigue. It is recommended not to use creatine continuously for more than 3 months, because the body will gradually adapt to creatine supplementation, and it is recommended to stop using it for a while before using it. Protein and carbohydrates should be supplemented in time after training.
You can actually eat it when you don't exercise, but the effect is not great. It is suggested that creatine should play its greatest role before or during training.
