Phosphagen HP Before OR After Workout

[stos]

Is is better to take Phosphagen HP right before or right after the workout? Phosphagen HP is a creatine transport supplement with 30 grams of sugar (dextrose) per serving.

Hmm...well, popular opinion would tell you to take it post-workout - but then again, I've heard that it could be beneficial pre-workout as well....you just can't win....

Best avenue above all ---> try different ways of taking it....and see what works best for your particular goals, body type, etc.,

AFTER!

Taking it before will cause one to crash half way through their workout. You want even/stable blood sugar levels going into your workouts. Helps avoid that "puking" feeling as well when your blood sugar levels remain stable and do not drop. However, creatine itself could be taken before a workout if ya wanted too. Just not all that high GI sugar, which will be used up quickly and cause you to crash.

I agree!!!! taking all of that sugar pre-workout is not a good idea.
