Creatine
How to take creatine? Take it straight up with water? Or is it better to mix it with protein shake?
One more question (stupid question please keep your **** to your self)
I'm drinking a lot of water with it(gallon and a half a day or more) just took my 5g I fill almost like I'm pissing it it out? I'm pissing every 20-40 min just feel like I'm pissing it out also since I just started can I take it about an hour before and after my workout?

You can take it whenever, with whatever. I think I've been seeing around lately that post workout dosing will have you reach saturation faster, but I don't know how significant that would be. And I could be totally wrong about that. And if you're pissing too much, maybe just do 1 gallon.

What the post above stated, take it whenever you want. If you're urinating too frequently try lowering the water consumption a bit.

I dump a scoop in my mouth and wash it down with a quart of water. Works every time.

Forget the mixing or dumping in your mouth and chugging it down. Look into Kre-Alkalyn capsules. Makes taking creatine even less of a chore!

You aren't "pissing it out" at very little. Your body doesn't absorb everything you put in it that's just how it works. 3-5g a day 365/7 is the most effective way to take it. The average person needs about 88oz ofOriginally Posted by Tt1234
