Dr. Murray J. Cohen, M.D. and President of Metabolic Nutrition said that extensive research has shown that Creatine (monohydrate or phosphate) competes with protein absorption receptors. Athletes taking combination products of these two ingredients protein + creatine) are wasting their money because the Creatine is not getting into the body.
He strongly recommends that Creatine be taken, preferably before working out, and by itself, for maximum absorption.
I didn't know this. I add creatine to my shakes all the time. Ooops. Anyone else aware of this already?
I'll see if I can find the studies he's referring to on Medline.
