apple juice or orange juice with creatine?

**jc91588** · 07-13-2005, 03:16 PM

is it alright to mix it with one of them?

**tprollin40** · 07-13-2005, 04:14 PM

Yes

**GeordieArtois** · 07-13-2005, 04:39 PM

Some people will say it's ok to mix creatine with OJ. However, in my personal experience I didn't get any gains or positive effects from drinking it in OJ.
I recommend white grape juice. As soon as I started drinking my creatine in grape juice the effects were noticeable the very next workout.

Just my 2pence.

Yeah, I'd agree with the white grape juice. Also, cranberry juice is pretty good

Either one is fine, but that doesn't mean it's optimal. I recommend a solid food carb source such as oats.

Another option very popular on the board:

50/50 MIX of Dextrose / Maltodextrin CONSUMED OVER A EXTENDED PERIOD of time (sip on it, don't chug it).

Take your creatine with something high in sugar for max absorbtion... Also, not sure about the OJ, since it's acidic it might not be the best mixer.

You could always make a nice sugary batch of 'ole fashioned Kool Aid and relive the childhood =)

It's definately not that simple. See above.

**Jrzymuscle** · 07-13-2005, 05:26 PM

Ive heard to add 2 talbspoons of sugar....along with 8oz. of OJ

and that will make it sweet enought to create an insulin spike

**Sixpack** · 07-13-2005, 05:28 PM

Take it with water or your postworkout shake

The insulin "spike" from sugars is not needed.

Spread the word.

True, it's a little know fact that OJ is far more acidic than stomach acid

But seriously, unless your gonna let it sit for a long time than OJ is fine. I personally prefer whole foods like oats

Y?

there alot of evidence to support that it does.......you need CARBS

as the "vehicle" to get that creatine into your muscles

**pu12en12g** · 07-13-2005, 05:41 PM

Exactly... any carb source is fine. Sugars like fructose, dextrose are not optimal, for several reasons.

i just use water myself sometimes on non-workout days.

**Mister_A** · 07-13-2005, 07:26 PM

OJ is better IMO cause it's thicker and helps with the taste better for CEE anyways.

**Lramos17** · 07-13-2005, 07:27 PM

Stop trying to get a around the nasty flavor , use damn H20

Why would you want to LIMIT your results from creatine?.......Creatine with simple-carbs is the key here. The carbs act as vehicle to deliver creatine to your muscles.

Especially before and after training, after training your body needs CARBS!

UM............thats if you wanna put your body in an ANABOLIC state. If not just continue doing what your doing and your gains from Creatine will almost be non-existent.

No one is trying to make you feel bad about it... just keep an open mind:

"just because something is working doesn't mean it can't be improved"
