Creatine effectiveness with caffeine

[NazKerpan]

Somewhere on another forum I have seen a discussion,where they claim that mixing creatine with caffeine is a bad thingbecause creatine will not work when taken with caffeine. That isquite a bum for me, because both creatine and coffee are mypreworkout supplements. Do you know anything about that?

it isn't true man.. that is ridiculous and makes no sense

This issue is highly contradictive, but it is usually considered that caffeine should not have a negative effect on creatine's effectiveness. Perhaps, the only thing that is really worth mentioning, is the possible instability of water balance withing the body, but this can be solved by drinking more water.

Caffeine will not the effectiveness of creatine.

Creatine will work just as well with or without caffeine.

Not an issue at all. Not sure where this came from. I guess maybe that creatine pulls water into muscles and caffeine can dehydrate you........not really sure.
