Creatine cause sore throat ?

[ErikPhoenix]

Hey guys!

Just had a question. I started taking creatine (Met Rx Micronized) last Friday. I'm taking 5g a day w/ no loading phase right after my workouts. I'm taking it with grape juice. I noticed that I have had a sore throat the past couple of days. I read on some other bulletin boards of guys that had this same side effect. Have any of you experienced this? I have not changed my diet and I drink about 5-6 liters of H2O a day. I also have been working for 2 years.

Let me know your thoughts.

THANKS!

I don't know if this is true, but I remember taking That Cell-Tech crap (DONT BUY CELL-TECH IF YOU WERE EVER THINKING OF IT) and it burned on the way down. That was because of the lipoic acid in it... I don't know if the Met-Rx stuff has that too, just an idea... Or maybe it's just coincidental sore throats that happened to start when you started taking the creatine/grape juice concoctions

sore throat may be due to ALA. This is the case in Cell tech.
