| CEE is best absorbed on an empty stomach, don't know why but it might be due to the acidity of the stomach or food impairing the absorption.
Again with ZMA I believe that stomach PH has something to do with it, this is something that I haven't really done much research on but I know that I get better results from using it this way.
As far as creatine peak times go. I've never really understood why people take the same supplements before and after training in what is essentially a 90 minute window. I think this maybe marketing related to sell more products?:crazy:
CEE has about an 8 hour active life in the body so it would make sense to try and achieve a steady peak blood level. This means that a dose in the morning and a dose after an evening workout would fit in nicely with this plan.
The other reason that I take CEE after a workout and not before is to do with supercompensation theory. e.g the body has been drained of energy (ATP from increased Creatine levels) so it is more likely to increase uptake afterwards. If you took in CEE before the workout then your body would have an adequate replensihment supply already to hand and therefore would not take up the CEE afterwards to that high extent.
That's just my thinking anyway. I'm sure others will disagree but obviously what works for me might not work for anyone else.
