when i used to take creatine, it said to take it after the workout. however, depending on the type of creatine it is, there are loading phases and etc . . .
personally, i stopped using it a long time ago. protein ftw.

you take creatine before the workout, like drink some half an hour before your workout.

you should take 5-7g with a sugar drink (like apple juice, grape juice, etc.) to help with the uptake. it doesn't matter if you take it before or after your workout.
