Hey there,
I get this question constantly: when should I actually take my supplements?
Here's how I structure it - and how I recommend you do too.
30 minutes before training, take Pre JYM. That's the window where the caffeine, beta-alanine, and citrulline are hitting peak levels as you start your first set.
Not 10 minutes before. Not an hour. 30 minutes.
Within 30 minutes after training, take Post JYM. The post-workout window is real.
Creatine, BCAAs, and beta-alanine are most effective when your muscles are primed for uptake right after a session.
Waiting two hours and calling it a post-workout is not the same thing.
In the morning - with food or your first meal - take JYM Greens.
Your micronutrient foundation does not need to be timed around training.
It needs to be consistent. Morning with food is the habit that sticks.
These are not complicated rules.
They are just the ones most people ignore - and the ones that separate consistent results from inconsistent ones.

P.S. If you are only taking one of these right now, start with Pre JYM. Everything else builds from training quality.
