I would love to know where you get your research from, creatine has been more than proven that it DOES work and that there is also NO evidence for it injuring your kidneys unless you already have problems with your kidneys.
It can make your kidneys work harder if you follow the "loading" phase because your body can only absorb so much, so the rest passes through your digestive tract.
It is wrong of you to dissuade someone from using a supplement when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about other than the fact that your son is apparently a state champion weight lifter.
And to the kid who asked the question, consult a professional (doctor/personal trainer) do not come on here and ask for this sort of advice because you end up with people thinking they know what they are talking about replying to you.
And with regards to answering the question it doesnt matter too much "when" you take creatine, as it is stored in your muscles anyway, it is not a short-term storage

Can you take 2 kre alkalyn pill before work out even it says take one pre and 1 post workout and take protein sheak after work out?
Yes, you can take 2 pill's of Kre-Alkalyn before you start you're work out but it will not bring you best results. The reason why you should drink 1 before workout and 1 after is that Kre-Alkalyn is 15 times stronger than regular creatine which means 1 pill is enough to keep the body well supplied during training and the other after training is to replenish the creatine that was used by you're body during exercise so that you creatine levels are constant after workout which will result in better muscle growth.
