Bud, this is a supplements board question, and everything you asked here has been answered before.

I believe they used to content that since caff. acts like a diuretic and creatine has the opposite effect it was counterindicated. But the water retension from creatine is supposed to be intracelluar, so I believe it can be taken together.

I'm sure you can find arguments either way. Same with taking glut. and creatine together. Some will say they compete for uptake into the cells, so don't take them togther.

I don't think there is a problem with it.

I've seen some recent studies looking at the effect of simultaneous caffine and creatine use. Their seems to be good support for the argument that caffine negates supplemental creatines effect.
