ok, this is sort of off topic from the subject of this thread, but i didn't want to start a new thread just for this>

I've been told that creatine bonds easily to food when you take it within + or - a 1/2 hour of eating (this means that very little is actually goin to be absorbed)... well I eat a pre-workout meal (mostly simple carbs to give me energy) about an hour before working out... so what is the solution? is this true? when do you take your creatine pre workout ? i really need my preworkout meal but im afraid of it hurting my creatine absorbtion...
