What does that even mean??? Do I take it every day even on rest days? Will something bad happen to me if I stop taking it before the 4 week deadline? And what is the best time to take it? Pre-workout? Post-workout? Thanks!

    Creatine takes time to saturate your muscles...about a month, hence the 4 weeks. Nothing will happen to you if you stop before then. I take it after lunch along with my BCAAs...I don't think it really matters when as long as you are consistent.
