Mixing Creatine with N.O.

[biohazard90]

I bought some creatine the other day, since I want to cycle back on it for the winter months. Does anybody know if there are any studies or any reseearch going on about taking creatine with N.O. as preworkout suppliments at the same time? Both need to be taken 1/2 hour before the workout. For creatine there is 4 and for the N.O. its 6. If I mix these two can it be potentially dangerous, since both are powerful suppliments as research and studies have shown? I start my new work out tomorrow so suggestions will be appreiciated. Can i be harming my body more than doing it any good?

[rajeev]

i would prefer to take the creatine post work out. 30 mins pre wo stick to Nitric Oxide if required

its fine noob

Funny ass stuff...

[jay90]

n.o. xplode before work out and the creatine right after your work out.

[phil87]

you can take some creatine products like sizon during your workout and whey protein right after

[jrmuscle]

well you can mix them its not like anabolic steroids youll be ok lol

[vader2]

No problem mixing them. I prefer creatine before and after workout.

What about if your PreWO NO supp (Animal Pump) has creatine in it also? 3g of Creatine in Animal Pump. I also have monohydrate. Should I just do 2g Mono after Workout with my shake instead of doing the 5g Mono afterwards that I'm used to?

[xENDORPHINSx]

Check whats in your N.O. It may already have a significant ammount of creatine.

[hobie383]

most N.O. stuff has creatine in it

[jtreece]

Does anyone actually take NO preworkout and then use mono afterwards?

Labrada's SuperCharge!Xtreme has a combonation of Creatine & NO + Humanafort for recovery all in one product. Mixing them is fine.

Arganine and beta-alanine pre workout(NO) and 5 grams of mono post workout

Most pre workout no formulas have 5 grams of creatine per serving so make sure you take that into account for you daily intake.

Creatine will hold water in your muscles and you will look "pumped" with the N.O.
I usually tell my customers take the creatine only before your workout and not after.
Your body produces creatine naturally and you are going to slow down your creatine production sooner or later you may not know it.Plus all that creatine will tell on your kidneys later in life. i would cycle it for 4 weeks and 4 weeks off.

Using it Pre workout only on your workout days is what we go by down here in florida. there are alot better creatines than Mono-hydrate alone.

If your pee looks the same as the water you drink, its a non issue. Most people don't drink enough water, and that's what damages their kidneys. I weigh 220, when I'm on creatine i need to drink between 1. and 2.5 gallons of water a day. 8 cups a day won't cut it. Cycle up on-4-8 weeks and off at least 4. My urines got less ppm than a bottle of Aquafina.

I've been using NO Xplod before, Whey during and after, and Cell-mass after.

This is what I'm going to after a 4 day break in a week:

NO-X 45 min before, SizeOn (found the 1290g jug for $35!), and whey post work out.

[xXBAK3RXx]

Here is what I do and it has had great results. Take 1 scoop N.O. 30 min before workout. Take approx 45 grams whey isolate 30 min after workout. Went from 215lbs to 160lbs in 5 months. Now that I reached my body fat % goal, I will add 5g ON micronized creatine mono powder to my protein shake. did a lot of research and this should work great. Any other suggestions?

If I mix these two can it be potentially dangerous

Not at all possible [unless you ingest both of the entire containers].

since both are powerful suppliments as research and studies have shown?

I'm not sure what "research" you have been reading however, these are not "powerful supplements".

n.o. xplode before work out and the creatine right after your work out.

Complete waste of creatine.

I usually tell my customers take the creatine only before your workout and not after.

For what reason? Taking creatine prior to, or following a workout has no physiological impact on creatine's efficacy. Once your intramuscular PCr concentrations are at near maximal capacity [after the first few days of supplementation], they remain saturated for extended durations of time.

[TheWaffleIron]

I'm not sure what "research" you have been reading however, these are not "powerful supplements"

Yes, they are - according to NO-Xplode ads.

[NO HYPE]

Yes, they are - according to NO-Xplode ads.

Then I guess it's official.

Creatine and N.O activators (L-arginine, AKG, etc) aren't such an extreme. They are often found together in preworkout supplements like Jack3d and SuperPump250. It could even be said that they are synergistic to a point. Creatine would volumize muscle with added water uptake while the nitric oxide release would relax muscles in blood vessel walls, leading to "vascularity" and increased blood flow. Together, this means a bigger pump and more ammonia/lactic acid flushed out of the muscle before it hinders your workout, as well as the creatine providing greater energy through phosphocreatine production. There is nothing wrong with using both of these products at the same time, and for maximum intensity in workouts you should take them both at least 30 minutes before. Some would say that intraworkout (during your workout) creatine or postworkout creatine would be better, but I've personally seen better results from a creatine/N.O/caffeine preworkout supplement.

What i do is mix 1 scoop of NO xplode (which has 1g of creatine I believe) with 4g of creatine monohydrate in my pre-workout drink. I try to suplement 5g a creatine daily.

[jking72003]

Both the supplements are pre workouts and equally good however creatine lasts much longer. I have been working out for 6 months now and have taken the combination of NO explode n creatine from past 4 weeks no doubt the power supply is truly amazing. Its just a matter of using two different scientific approaches to improve our body. But I must tell you when I started the mix of these two in the first week the alertness was quite high and I experienced a little bit of enhanced heart beat. But rest is OK results are fine I'm getting leaner and stronger. Always try to listen to your body and it will certainly give you the best answer. Honestly anyone of those are good enough..
