I am currently taking the Gain rzZz pre/post 3x per week (per work) as instructed. I thought we should be taking creatine every day. Do I need to supplement with creatine only on my off days?

Yes, we’d suggest that or simply taking GainzZz Rx every day.

Hi Leah,

if we take our GainzZz on non-training days, when’s best to take it?

@Jordan_Feigenbaum advises against taking both doses together, as this negatively impacts absorption, so should we just take 1 dose in the AM and one in the PM? simple as that?

Thanks!

I would just take it at 2 separate times, e.g. AM and PM. No need to get super fancy other than have it spread out into 2 different servings.
