Everybody responds differently to Creatine. How does the average recommendation of 5 grams affect your performance? Pre or post workout?

I'm one of the unlucky few who didn't respond to creatine in any way. Didn't even increase weight for water retention.

I drink it as a pre workout with my pre workout dink I use creatine isolate what it does is it hydrates you cells and muscle fascicles and creates a longer and better pump and can reduce the lactic acid in your muscles for less soreness. It last a couple hours in the cellular level.

I've tried it many times throughout the years every since it was introduced. I keep coming back to it hoping it will work for me if I used a different protocol from the ones I've already tired before.

I had great expectation in the beginning with all the press about it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for everybody, and I'm one of those people. I still have some left over in my cupboard from the last time I tried it a few years ago.
