What would be a better carb source to take creatine mono with both pre & post workout?

You're going to have a REALLY hard time cause there are noneim trying to find studies to link in here, but am having trouble. personal results are that WMS has proven better in my case
Isn't WMS suppose to have a lesser effect on Insulin output? It's suppose to transport via is molecular weight and not GI rating?Lol other than less bloating / ease on digestion, WMS is not superior in any way.
From Alan Aragon himself :Isn't WMS suppose to have a lesser effect on Insulin output? It's suppose to transport via is molecular weight and not GI rating?
This would make it far superior IMO. Ecscpecially for someone like myself who is carb sensative and malto/dex mix make me a gassy, blaoted, fat mess.
I'm not saying your wrong in any way shape or form. Im more asking a question. These are things I've heard about WMS but never seen any hard evidence on it.
It seemed to work better for me (WMS) then my dex/malto drinks.
WMS is actually more insulinemic & glycemic than your standard glucose polymer solution. Earlier research showed no difference in glycemia and insulinemia between WMS & the glucose polymer, but there are at least a couple major things to consider: a total of 300g was consumed in 30-minute intervals over a 6-hr period. The significance here is that this dosing scheme may have caused a highly efficient delivery of glucose to the intestine. Since this happened alongside a faster glucose uptake by the muscles, major increases in blood glucose were neutralized.
Now stick with me here. In the latest WMS study, a more realistic 100g was used, and better blood sampling methodology was used. Guess what? As a result of its quicker gastric emptying, WMS caused a 17.3% higher peak insulin level and a 10.9% higher blood glucose peak. Given this, any glucose intolerance or insulin sensitivity issues will definitely be amplfied with WMS. Keep in mind that when taking any CHO with protein or AA, the insulin response will synergistically elevate, and this can counteract and drive down the expected elevation in blood glucose.
Conceptually, yes. However, I'm not sure you should WANT an insulin spike as much as you do.Well that's some handy knowledge! If it empties faster, and has a higher GI - then shouldn't it promote a better insulin spike for creatine transport?
