how much dextrose is needed in your creatine?

[jvignacio]

hi guys, ive been informed that creatine mixed with a sugary type of drink/juice or dextrose (powder) goes well and helps creatine reach the muscles. Now i know some of you dont believe in loading phases but i will just try it and see how i go.. if im loading for 20g a day for 5 days, and taking 4 doses of 5 g of creatine each day.. (eg. breakfast, lunch, pre and post), how much dextrose should i mix with each of those 4 doses of 5g of creatine?

by the way im taking creatine monohydrate (doesnt contain no sugar).

any replys would be much appreciated.

yeah that sounds about right because some ppl say 60g-80g of dextrose for 5g of creatine... but thats waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy to much..

i will go with the 1 table spoon with dextrose and 5g of creatine mixed in water..

help was appreciated

i didn't mix the dextrose with creatine and water. just ate a spoon full after i drank the shake. make sure you take eat a high carb meal shorty before your creatine or a protein drink
