Caffeine vs Creatine: The Final Verdict

[LiL USMC BBer]

I've been reading up on caffeine vs creatine for a while now.


My search results are showing that caffeine will not effect creatine uptake into the muscle cells and cell volumizing. HOWEVER it will effect strength gains from creatine.


My question. I'm currently supplementing with Primaforce Creaform (started about a week ago). I'm going to start using Primaforce N20 30 minute prior to workout and 1 hour after preworkout meal. Was wondering if there will be any conflict issues or possibly halted strength gains (creatine wise).

I will continue to stay on the creaform as I don't care about taking in to much creatine. (I bring this up because I'm aware that once muscles are saturated with it, the amount in the N20 will be sufficient)


Thank You for your time

I personally keep getting STRONGER and STRONGER by the week.

Caffine has never halted my strength gains. I used to drink a 4 shot cappuccino before every workout and that has much more caffine than the 200 mg in Primal.
