i never really felt the 'dehydration' it supposedly causes.

However, i would suggest taking it post workout with your p/w shake guessing that it would be around evening after buka puasa.

thats how I took my shakes initially.

then I threw in some carbs like dextrose(Glucolin) to the mix.

Results were even better.

Gluck.

nono not ribena.
Glucolin is a brand for dextrose mono. You can find at shops/pharmacy in a small blue tub.

There are three i think, orange, grape n flavourless. Get the one with no flavour

i think i've read (will post up the source later cuz i bookmark at office) somewhere
creatine if taken preworkout is meant for strength building
if post workout = i dunno what its called but its for mass building
and if u have creatine with whey at the same time the transportation of creatine to your muscle cells is actually slower thus certain experts recommend taking them with warm fruit juice (fructose not sucrose or glucose although any is fine) few minutes after whey
forgot why
will post the source if i have time cuz office tak boleh access lyn

Gtoforce, i have read somewhere tat drinking with fruit juice isnt a good move. But u can take it with simple carbs. The pre and post ... not very sure about it, wat if i take it as breakfast, and workout in the evening?

depends jamis
i've read big cat's and others
some say its good
some say normal warm water also good
i think why fruit juice is because it creates a spike in insulin
thats how the creatine will be propelled to work
imo je

yeah the warm water part is true, creatine desolved easier in high temeperature, i mixed with coffee before (it was claim that coffee doesnt go with creatine but somehow the research found out that the amount of caffaine is insufficient to do the trick). About the fruit juice stuff, there is still debate going on thou, but warm fruit juice.... hehe. Yeah the carbs help delivering the creatine into ur body.
