What is the best way to ingest creatine monohydrate, is it better to drink it alone ? Or with carbs and what carbs are better

Question

Ask Huberman Lab · Accepted Answer

Take creatine monohydrate consistently at a dose suited to your body size and tolerance; you don’t need to take it with carbohydrates. - Dose: For people around 185–250 lb, Andrew Huberman suggested roughly 10–15 g daily; for lighter individuals, 3–5 g may be sufficient. - Timing and mixing: Timing isn’t critical. Mix it with water or a protein shake if convenient; it doesn’t need a special carbohydrate pairing. - Stomach discomfort: If it bothers your stomach, take it with food or increase the amount gradually. - Carbs: Carbohydrates may help creatine enter tissue more quickly, but they aren’t necessary for taking it.
