Most effective way to take your Creatine???

[JR07005]

I cant find any threads which deal specifically with this question, and cant seem to get a definitive answer.
SO...

I'm looking for a consensus to which is the best way of taking micronized creatine?
Mix it with:
Water?
Grape juice?
A shake?
Doesnt matter as long as I get it down?

I would have poured through more search results, but It's getting late here.

Thanks crew!

I will give you my opinion on how I take my creatine, and how I THINK its right, some might disagree but this is my way.

When I'm taking creatine, I take it twice a day. Morning and Post Workout as these are the only time I take in simple sugars. What the simple sugar(high GI carbs) do is "spike" my insulin. There for further increasing my nutrient uptake, pretty much working as a shuttle for my creatine to get into my muscles.

What I do is eat a piece of fruit in the morning(Fructose, yes I know not the fastest digesting, but it gets the job done) than take my creatine and than Post Workout I mix a shake containing BCAAs,Creatine and Dextrose.

Yes this is very important, it is most important to take it in the morning and postwo, both when spiking insulin. In the morning first u do take some candy then 5min later creatine and then whey if u have some. Aftert that proceed with breakfast...same with pst workout. Take it with water because some juices are low ph
