What carb source do you mix your creatine with?

**FATGUY** · 03-20-2011 07:29 PM

Hey guys, I was wondering what type of carbs do you use with your creatine. I've heard grape juice or waxy maize. What is your favorite and how much do you use with your creatine.
Thanks guys

I sip mine during a workout with bcaa powder and gatorade.

@JohnRock. You don't take 5 grams before and 5 grams after your work out.

**SweetLou321** · 03-20-2011 09:28 PM

Thanks for the input guys!

The Powdered Gatorade because it dosen't contain High Fructose Corn Syrup.

I mix it with BCAA, Leucine, and crystal light. I usually consume 1.5 cups of oats and pop 1 slin sane on top of that.

I've always just taken 1 tsp (5 grams) post-workout with whatever my shake is - typically just whey isolate when I'm cutting and either isolate + oats or isolate + oats + WMS when bulking.

Apple Juice or whatever I have in the fridge, sometimes just a little dextrose added in water. I take mine before I workout though.

It really does not matter.

**Eizbear** · 03-23-2011 12:32 PM

During bulks...I take mine with COOKIE CARBS!! or a sandwhich... or anything really... Getting too fed up drinking all the supps....

While cutting.. No kCals before the workout... Just after

**kmix1987** · 03-23-2011 01:48 PM

To be honest with you, I usually just take it with a quick shot of whatever juice I have on hand.....as long as its not orange juice....

**R1balla** · 03-23-2011 09:15 PM

**TonyGT** · 03-23-2011 11:08 PM

When I take monohydrate on days off I take 5g with grape juice.

I've been doing it for 8 years. I have tried various options, 40g dextrose, slow digesting carbs, no carbs, low carbs, high carbs, etc. what I have continued to do is the only thing that works for me.
