The shit is cheap now so take it a twice a day with anything. I prefer a sugar type drink.
I like to take it with grape juice as well or I just order the grape punch flavor of PVL CRE X-12 and it has 6 grams of creatine and 40 carbs per 1 scoop serving, great for a post workout drink.

juice + creatine
In my opinion, I am not trying to cause a big argument but when I took creatine with juice I didnt absorb as much as I thought I was. I figured oh yeah grape juice thats what the bottle says thats what the dick at GNC says. But when I read more and more and more about creatine absorption and the way that it spikes your insulin I have realized that creatine YES should be taken immediately after working out, with high-glycemic simple sugars. (ex- Gatorade, etc.) That way your getting your simple sugars, without the fructuse that will make you fat. I have a bunch of articles that explain this in great detail and if any are interested I will post them on here but the bottom line is creatine + simple sugars (not fruit juice, fructose) immediately following your workout.

i am intrested in ur articles..
i was thinkning about taking 5 grams prewerkout in grape juice, by itself or maybe with glutamine cause i plan on taking both before i workout..
i herd gluatmine helps it absorb..dont kno if that is correct
and i was also resently told that a good idea was to mix my creatine and glutamine with my protein postworkout??
what do u guys thinkabout that??
5 grams creatine 5 gram glutamiune 2 servings of whey
2 cups of milk and a banana???

Thats definitely a good postworkout shake in my opinion... maybe a little bit more carbs depending on your bodyweight. Postworkout I take in around 50g of high-glycemic carbs and 20g of whey protein, along with 5g creatine + 5g glutamine.

maxellyz said:buy caps , problem solved
that's not the point bro. caps vs. powder don't matter, it's about absorbtion.
IMHO: 100g dextrose or plain old table sugar with 25-50g of whey protein post workout ONLY for the avg. 200lb bodybuilder.
"loading" or other times should be with some simple sugars (fructose is a strange sugar, do some reading on it before you gobble up fruit or fruit juice with creatine) fruit= fiber+fructose. fruit= fructose.
the liver must convert fructose in-to glycogen etc.
