Creatine and Citric Acid

[Rock Lee]

I know one shouldn't take creatine with OJ or anything, but how long should you go without before and how long should you go without after taking your creatine? The Crystal Light I'm currently addicted to contains citric acid.

Also I started taking 1 g of vitamin C PWO as I heard it helps stop catabolism; would the acids present in C do anything to destroy creatine as is the case with citric?

Many flavored creatine products are flavored using citric/malic acid. Don't worry about it. Plus stomach acid would be much more damaging to it anyway.
