Does it matter how much juice...........

[AziaReign]

..........I put my Creatine in?? On the tub, it says take 5 grams and mix with 5 to 8 oz. of juice. I've been using 5 grams in about 15 to 20 oz's of juice.
So does it matter?

*BUMP*

Helllooooooooooo? I know some of you can answer this!

 

[naturally anabolic]

not at all... its not like it will break down and be less potent in the more juice. I take my creatine with 16oz and it works just dandy

 

[AziaReign]

Thank you!

One more question..............its also says on the tub to have it 3 times daily on an empty stomach. What would the purpose of this be? I don't think it would be right for me would it? I just take it right after a workout.

 

[naturally anabolic]

well, the reason they say that is because supposedly on an empty stomach your body will more easily assimalate the creatine, however i also find this not to be the case and so post workout is good

#1 Do not take w/ juice.
#2 Do not take it on an empty stomach or you will be sorry.....

Take it w/ water, a lot of times I mix it w/ crystal light. I also take it w/ a meal..gotta take it with food or you will cramp and feel like shit.

 

[AziaReign]

Why not mix it with juice? I mixed it with Apple/Cranberry yesterday..........I've only heard to NOT mix it with orange Juice.

 

[naturally anabolic]

its a big debate still about juice intake, its fine.

 

[AziaReign]

I haven't felt anything different.........except for the first time I took it!

I took a TABLESPOON instead of a TEASPOON in my protein shake. I felt like complete shit the rest of the night, I thought my stomach was gonna jump out and have convulsions on the floor! I learned my lesson!

juice is very much acceptable as a median for creatine delievery into the body. Especially post workout because it will add back needed carbohydrates, i find taking it with juice also helps to smooth out the mixture as opposed to water because creatine is so damn gritty tasting.

 

[naturally anabolic]

haha, oh i have had that exprience before....not fun....lol i felt like i had a 20lb plate stuffed into my stomach

 

[AziaReign]

Actually, this creatine shit doesn't smell, and it has no taste. I don't know if its supposed to or not. What kind have you taken? I'm taking Crea Pure.............

 

[naturally anabolic]

i have taken

Now! Brand
Pro-Lab
Celltech
PhosogenHP (what i use now)
Weider
Met-Rx
GNC

 

[AziaReign]

DAY-uuuuuuummmmmmm! Thatsa shitload! I've heard the Crea Pure is a pretty damn good brand............Pauly got it for me.

Can't wait to post them progress pics in April!

 

[naturally anabolic]

can't wait to see those progress pics

the reason i have taken so many is because i didn't want to listen to people and so i would guinea pig myself to find out what worked best, for me PhosogenHP combined with an 500 mg dose of ALA supplement works great for me

Fructose is not a good source of post-workout carbs. Take it in a protein shake, just as you did, and with food if you can.

I don't know what you're trying to "feel." All I felt was bloated...it's not going to give you a thermo rush. It will only help deliver more P for ADP to make ATP for workout energy.

I'm not "trying" to feel anything. I have just experienced some mild bloating. Thermo rush? I know what Creatine is meant for and what its supposed to do. Thanks!

 

[AziaReign]

You're welcome!

Simply wondering what you meant by:

"I haven't felt anything different..."

Oh,
I meant feeling any icky, or swollen or what-have-you. Now that I notice, my hands are a little swoll.

Try TRAC if you wanna feel something work'n out. It doesn't upset my stomach which is very sensitive and it doesn't bloat either(I'm just natrually bloated )
