creatine/protein use

**tattoo_tearz** · 05-23-2006, 01:30 PM

Hey i just started working out again and this time i am really serious about it. I am taking optimum Whey protein powder as well as creatine monohydrate. I know that i have read articles that say that its good to take protein and creatine together, but the creatine doesnt seem to disolve very well. not only that but it says to take creatine with a juice such as grape or apple - so how would i mix it with my protein powder then (which is choco mint)?

Basically im asking what is the best way for me to mix and take my protein and creatine? thanks in advance for your help.

Mix the whey with water, take a second shaker or cup and mix the mono with water (not juice). Drink them side by side.

I don't mix my creatine usually. 90% of the time I just put the serving in my mouth as powder and wash it all down at once with a big drink of water. It's faster and easier than mixing. It sounds gross but it isn't bad at all.

Just put em both in a shaker cup and give em hell then drink

thanks guys for your help. One thing tho to bodybuilder420, is that the creatine i have doesnt seem to disolve very well. should i disolve it in warm water maybe?

Yes, out it in a bottle/skaer with warm water and shake for 30secs. Drink it immediately. It will almost all be disolved. You can then take a few swigs of a non-citrus juice to help with uptake.

Monohydrate will not dissolve in water very well. You can try using warm water to dissolve it, and that should help dissolve more of it, but there will probably be residual creatine left over.

As a side note, I don't think there is any problem using a drink that has citric acid in it. The pH of the drink isn't anywhere near the 1-2 pH of your stomach. Personally, I'd just mix your creatine with the protein shake, and drink (as bignpisst suggested).

you should just buy a shake that has creatine and protien already mixed together

Overpriced. Creatine monohydrate is the best way to go.

Right now I am using a Kre-Alkalyn creatine buffer (pill form) called "Purple K". So far it seems to be working great, and after just 3.5 weeks I am noticing some gains (I am also working out 5days a week with Whey Protein twice a day). Anybody have information/comments about "Purple K" ? Following this cycle, I plan to switch to NO Explode, as I have some friends who have gotten massive gians from it.
