BCAAs and creatine can be taken at the same time as each other. You need to be getting in atleast 1 gallon of water a day.

IMO take BCAA's in the morning and before bed and take creatine before you workout

Why the BCAAs at those times?

take during your work out with your creatine and some carbs is a good idea, heres why

Although BCAAs are absolutely required for protein synthesis,Therefore, the disposal of excess BCAAs is critically important for maintaining normal body conditions,It is known that BCAA oxidation is promoted by exercise
BCAAs work especially well at delaying fatigue when combined with carbohydrate and water, and consumed during exercise.

also BCAAs can be oxidized in skeletal muscle, whereas other essential amino acids are catabolized mainly in liver ,Exercise greatly increases energy expenditure and promotes oxidation of BCAAs ,,It is believed that BCAAs contribute to energy metabolism during exercise as energy sources and substrates to expand the pool of citric acid–cycle intermediates (anaplerosis) and for gluconeogenesis. In contrast, leucine is special among the BCAAs, because it promotes muscle-protein synthesis in vivo when orally administered to animals ,As a consequence of these findings, BCAAs are receiving considerable attention as potentially helpful dietary supplements for individuals who enjoy exercise and participate in sports.
