Creatine w/Protein shakes

[High-roller]

Well if someone will post me back, I was just checking to see if Creatine added to protein shake was alright to do?

Both ProLab products!

Yep, as long as there is carbs in the shake. Creatine uptake into muscle cells is aided by taking it with some sort of simple carb.

Cause I have grape juice and creatine and I mix it with my shake as well.

One more question why do I find the Creatine at the bottom all lumped up even after I stirred it

[Amorphic]

creatine settles, its normal, you just have to stir it up and drink it really quick, and if theres any left over, just toss some water in there and drink the rest

Coo thanks, That is what I do.

So for Creatine, is there any point in adding more then the 1/2 reaspoon per drink,

My way of drinking protein/creatine is:

Protein Morning

Creatine Before Workout

Protein/creatine after workout

after dinner Protein/Creatine

This sound ok?

i use 5 grams post workout and 5 grams before bed.

creatine and protein fight for absorption in the body you shouldn’t take them together

I was going to start taking creatine with my PWO shake since the simple carbs help the creatine uptake into muscle cells, but now since protein and creatine fight for absorption when should I take it? I don't really plan on eating simple carbs at any time other than PWO.

have your creatine right after your workout and your shake 20 mins after
