I take 5g Creatine on a morning and then 5g on an evening.

If this falls after an am cardio session or pm weights session I take it along with 60g dextrose, 40g protein and some oatmeal.

My question is this, when taking my creatine on mornings/evenings when I don't train, should I still consume some dextrose with it to aid absorption, or will this lead to fat gains.

I read somewhere that Creatine should be taken with dextrose at a ratio of 1:5 (creatine:dextrose). This suggests that I should take 5g Creatine with 25g of dextrose on mornings & evenings that I do not train. Does anyone know if this is correct???

Any other tips to aid creatine absorption would be greatly appreciated, cheers.
