take them both at the same time. i guess you could say they supplement eachother. whey protein is just a protein that absorbs faster and more efficiently than other proteins. creatine carries and stores protein in and for the muscles.
well remember that if you don't comsume much red meat or anything with natrually occuring creatine you will need to supplement that also, to meet and then to exceed natrual levels. i take 1 heaping teaspoon before working out(~45 min before), and half a teaspoon about 4 hours later.(around dinner). most creatine studies that suggest creatine helps aid in muscle contraction and delaying fatigue, dose @ 10g - 20g a day!
but dude mreik, unless the heaping teaspon of creatine stays in your stomach for 6 hours, then most of its gonna be wasted. id figure if your eating 5-7 meals a day, id figure it would be better to take about 2g with every meal. as about 1.25g is absorbed every 2-2 1/2 hrs.
yeah but what i don't understand is why you're body would need that much creatine when you're relatively inactive, i mean besides walking etc. the main purpose is for creatine to fuel your muscles with ATP during the 10-12 seconds of intense muscle contraction. besides that, creatine is useless..
no wait, mreik, lol. dont listen to me. i was wrong. i wasnt thinking about hte bioavailiability of creatine. if you take 2g of creatine, then not all 2g will be used. as if you were to take abot 5g of creatine, then about half that would be used. so keep on taking those 5g servings
