creatine and glutamine timing - Apr. 28 2008 16:53:16

What's the best time to take creatine and glutamine? I have read that they are best taken with some simple carbs in order to help absorption.

In the past, I have usually taken it (1/2 tsp of each) in water, morning and night (or in my post-lifting protein drink instead of at night if on a lifting day) because that is convenient and I don't usually eat much simple carbs, other than post-lifting.

I have read that creatine is stored in the muscles, so does the timing really matter as long as I take it consistently? Or would taking it right before and after lifting make it more available?

Also, what do people thing about taking a break from it for a week every few months? Necessary or not? Any special considerations regarding glutamine, or do the same considerations apply? Thanks for any advice.

Consistency is the most important issue. Timing is really not much of an issue in the long term (or even after a week or so).
