Creatine in protein shakes

[bigpoppadrew]

Hey bros, Does it decrease any of the effect of the creatine if I mix it in with a protein shake? I want to take a shake with me to the gym for post workout and take the creatine for post workout as well because that is when they are both most effective. Is it safe to mix them together?

Hello drewkemp

Mr.X told me to have a post workout shake with glutamine/creatine and i do have a scoop of whey protein all mixed together 20 min's after workout.

generally if you mix creating with simple sugar it has a better effect
not speaking from personal experience, just what i read

Drew, I think it's ok to mix them. The only reason I don't do it personally is because once the shake has been mixed, a lot of the creatine will not dissolve and sink to the bottom. Not unlike if you were just trying to mix it with water or juice. I take it with about a 1/3 cup of gatorade. I stir it up and slam it before it has a chance to collect at the bottom of the glass. At least that way I know I'm getting the desired dose.
