Creatine in Pop/Soda/Carbonated Drinks?

[Total Body Rebuild]

Hi

Quick question...

Has anyone tried to dissolve creatine in something like Pepsi Max or some other carbonated beverage?

I am thinking of giving it a try, but you can't really shake it to dissolve, you can't heat it, etc.

Would stirring it be enough?

I don't want to waste a precious $.50 drink to find out...ballin on a budget.

Thanks

It's all good, I put red bull, creatine and BCAAs in a protein shaker and give it a mix sometimes, it's fine, it actually makes the BCAAs mix in better. The creatine mixes fine as well.

I have no proof but i would assume the carbonation would fizz up and dissolve it. Or it could also make your soda flat.

The label on my creatine tub says not mix it with anything acidic.

@OP do it *******, i always used to put mine in some diet green tea (carbonated) or something.

I used to assume I could mix creatine in anything. I mixed it in with milk once and it was awful. It got all foamy. Which is weird because I mix it with my protein shakes in milk all the time and it's not a problem, but milk alone turned it all foamy. I don't know why.

Done did it. Chugged it -> Stomach/Intestine=Blown...

Probably would not repeat - I'll just stick to drinking it in coffee.

Wont the soda act as a duiretic and counter aact the creatine? I know that if I am properly hydrated and drink a soda or coffee I piss alot in the same hour. There was a study that said to limit your coffee intake while on creatine. Thoughts?

You must be trolling because if you think that, you are a ****ing retard. There is no study that said to limit coffee intake. Where do people come up with this ****?

I noticed when I used creatine (on my last cut, while ago) that it basically didn't do anything because I was taking a stim/thermo at the same time.

i.e. I pissed out most of that liquid that the creatine would have retained.

Correlation != causation

And lulz that thinking that all create does it "retain" water lulz idiots

No there aren't.

No there aren't.

"If you’re serious about getting the most from creatine, avoid chronic use of caffeine. Scientific studies show that the equivalent of three cups of coffee per day for as little as three days is sufficient to completely negate the benefits typically afforded by creatine (ref. 1). On the other hand, an occasional cup of coffee doesn’t seem to render much harm (refs. 2, 3)."

"It is concluded that Caf intake (3 days) prolongs muscle RT and by this action overrides the shortening of RT due to creatine supplementation."

Those are just a couple. There's more. And last year I used to take coffee as a pre-workout while taking creatine. I read some of those studies and dropped the coffee (still supplemented with creatine) because I was curious. I noticed that my muscles warmed up and pumped up a lot faster, I was able to perform a couple more reps, retained a little more water, and I wasn't pissing nearly as much during my workout.

You are a pubmed ninja. You have no clue how to interpret the research nor do you have knowledge of the ENTIRE body of literature on the subject.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it *******

There have been two or three laboratory studies with humans that have pointed to the possible inhibitory effects of caffeine independent of timing and at least one other with rodents that showed it reduced muscle phosphocreatine. It does not affect absorption nor does the inhibitory effect have anything to do with diuresis as some think. Beyond the rodent study not really being physiologically relevant, the two human studies commonly cited have some limitations such that the results should be taken with caution; including the studies being very short term, doses used (5 mg/kg bw), unknown training and stimulant experience of the subjects and the use of laboratory tests that creatine hasn't always done well with vs. using relevant in-the-gym tests. There are at least two other studies that used more relevant testing methods (intense cycling) that didn't result in impairment. Also acute ingestion of caffeine and creatine likely does not have the same negative performance effect as high dose chronic caffeine intake along side creatine loading as shown by one study that examined muscle relaxation times and those that loaded subjects with creatine and then gave them caffeine before performance testing. This is something that really needs to be fleshed out with relevant resistance training tests. Did I say relevant enough?

That didn't tell me anything.

[P1noy]

And you gonna catch feelings and neg me? lol

It's not my problem that you are illiterate

edit: and an idiot when you repped me instead of negging me like you probably meant to lulz

Oh ok. Good to know.

So, Pepsi Max is fizzy...

in which thing did creatine are more effective
Water or carbonated beverage e.g pepsi etc.
