Everything I read mentions to take creatine with a non-acidic juice, and usually menitons grape juice. Would apple juice be a good substitute? I only ask because we always have apple juice in the house already because my daughter drinks it.

it has to do with the absorption. you can also try this: take your post wo shake in water (with the creatine) and then eat a banana or a couple slices of white bread.
i'd eat the ass off a rhino if it would make me huge.

I remember hearing that you should take it with fructose but you should take it with dextrose.

i dont need much maybe 8oz of gatorade and im good because you take it for the sugars and carbs but the ones you dont burn off come back to bite you.

Basically, after reading one of the articles on bb.com here (below), I'm just going to throw it in my post workout shake (protein, orange juice, oat flour) and not worry about the citrus affecting it. I chug the thing down within a few minutes anyways. On non workout days, I'll just throw it in whatever.

My best results are using Monohydrate + Orange Juice.
Just don;t let it sit for 15min or more before you drink it. I always drink it immediately after preparing it and it's never been a problem.Originally Posted by jasonw86
I've been taking nolva from a friend now at 40mg a week and was gonna do the 40/40/20/20 thing. But my nipple is still leaking something.
BTW, we're not gay or anything, we just get bored when our girlfriends are gone and mess around with each other some. A lot of guys do it.

Think of it this way: Why are you consuming the sugars? To get an insulin spike. Why get an insulin spike? Things like creatine and protein can 'piggyback' this reaction and be delivered to the muscle. So, yes, you want your creatine, protein, and dextrose all at the same time.
