Just real quick and I'll read over the whole thread later:

I've noticed some of the quotes saying and hour this and that. It doesn't really work that way.

If you were to take 5 grams of creatine in solution it will basically start entering the blood stream very quickly. Depending of course on having enough water and stuff like that. It doesn't take an hour to be "available". Things don't show up dumped all at once into your bloodstream like a floodgate opened up. It will take around 30 minutes on average to reach a PEAK level in the bloodstream and then it will start going down. If you waited an hour it would be getting close to the starting point again although you can't be precise about how long the process takes. If it didn't enter the muscles then it was converted to creatinine, if I'm not mistaken.

So my immediate thoughts are that if you took the creatine first and then waited 30 minutes later to take some carbs, by the time the carbs started hitting the bloodstream and you get an insulin response the creatine levels have already (potentially at least) reached their peak and are well on their way to returing to normal. So I wouldn't recommend that.

The simplest thing to do is to take some creatine both pre and post with your pre and post nutrition regimen. You don't have to worry about all that timing and bloodstream dooda.

I don't think there is any real proof that CEE is more readily absorbed. In fact there is no "proof" of any kind. If you have achieved saturation levels in your muscles, for which it would behoove you to take it everyday for a while then it shouldn't matter whether it's mono or CEE if you only want to take it on workout days.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
