I see no need to take additional creatine if you are taking a pre-workout that has it dosed right 2-3 grams a serving and/or are taking 2 grams a day with a normal diet. I have consciously taken many types of creatine daily and see little difference. When I took 5+ grams of mono per day all I noticed was excess bloat so I like to us MCC most of the time.
