Creatine with Gatorade?
Hey guys,
I have always used the creatine products that include whatever transport and potentiator is needed to make it work, but I just got a big jar of pure creatine powder. I know you normally would mix it with juice to create the necessary insulin spike, but since I already sip a bottle of Gatorade during each workout, do you think mixing the creatine with the Gatorade and sipping it throughout my 90 min. workout is enough to create the needed insulin response? If Gatorade is not sweet enough, what about Hawaiian Punch or something like that instead of juice?
Thanks!Last edited by raytrade; 12-28-2003 at 08:56 PM. Reason: added more detail

Gatorade is made up of a combination of sucrose, glucose and fructose syrups which isnt the best choice for a creatine transport but acceptable for post workout and to help assist creatine into your system. You're best bet would be a buying a straight dextrose mixture however, the sports drink should assist somewhat in helping raise the insulin level. In fact, its a good thing you're sipping on a high GI carbohydrated drink during your workout..... cant really have enough simple carbs in and around ones' workout.

i thought you would want to drink the creatine before and after, not during as it would dehydrate you so just drink a liquid like gatorade and add some sugar

You're drinking a creatine drink throughout a 90 min workout? I thought creatine was unstable in a liquid....Shouldn't you drink it almost immediately after mixing?
