Creatine

[angelxterminator]

i'm sick of people listing incorrect information on creatine conversion to creatinine, so here is the real deal. Lactose, sugar, and milk have NO effect on creatine conversion! The conversion is more dependant on the pH of the solvent your adding the creatine to, then what the solvent is. if the pH is around nuetral, it breaks down no faster than it would in water(pH7). Here is a simple table to use as a creatinine conversion guideline once activated! Keep in mind that this is general information, in other words YOUR fruit juice or the fruit juices I tested might vary slightly, etc.

All pH testing was performed in buffered solutions using an IR for hydrogen ion concentration!

will one of the mods please make that a sticky somewhere???? that is like the most common group of questions i hear... its up there with "what should i eat to lose fat and gain muscle"...its on all boards!

[angelxterminator]

guess noone cares

[bad_man]

This should be in the supplement forum.

[angelxterminator]

my bad, didn't even know there WAS a supplement forum. I only been around the diet forum and anabolics

[angelxterminator]

lol, i thought so, that's why i posted it...just in the wrong place i guess

[worldknown]

just to make sure i read it correctly, for us to get the most out of our creatine drink it with juice or sports drink?

NO, do NOT drink it with juice or a sports drink, it CONVERTS TO CREATININE FASTER, did you not read what i posted???? lol

the closer to nuetral to pH the liquid is, the better you are, IE do NOT dissolve it in orange juice(citric acid), etc....drink it with water

[worldknown]

okay that is what i thought thanks for clearing it up angelxterminator!

Please excuse me for being a retard, but help me with this coz everone is telling me a different story! Can I do this : ECA b4 my workout, creatine (scitec pump) in water after workout and than half an hour later whey in milk?

milke is garbage. use the whey with your creatine in your PWO shake with dextrose

[angelxterminator]

that's exactly what i do. whey, water, creatine, and a banana(waiting for my new bag of dex, have no other sugar source)

[angelxterminator]

that and the banana gives me my potassium while on clen , the supp is coming with the dex
