so we buy it from pharmacy or something?? im not in malaysia

hm.. creatine.. i got creatine monohydrate also but the gym trainer said don't need to load.. i read somewhere before or someone told me.. i forgot which about what free_enuf said about the lagging behind thing is true.. it takes a slower time to get to the optimum effect but i'm jus taking it 1 serving before workout (no load) on workout days.. which means 3 times a week.. (no load) is that enough? it's not even 1 day's loading phase which requires 4 servings (as stated on the creatine bottle) so i would need to take 6 weeks to reach that 5 days loading and then 2 weeks later i hav to cycle off? hmm.. anyone enlighten pls?

yewps, according to celltech. they have 75g of dextrose to cause insulin spike for better absorption of creatine.

creatine pre workout is better. creatine takes approx 1 hour to masuk ur blood system, so taking it 30 minutes before workout, then by half way of your workout where your ATP are almost used up, it can replenish and improving workout efficiency

i'm not takling about spiking insulin u moron. i'm talking about taking creatine. wtf are u reading?

wth is with the moron calling and all, this is a discussion thread not an argument thread.. gee.. and anyways.. where can we get dextrose from?

they're BFF in real life.

srsly.

NO. i dont take creatine with dex. me on low carb.

oh those, i dont know if i can get those in australia =/ and mixed with whey? i thought u mix those with creatine..

hey bro,

how do you cause an insulin spike when taking ur creatine without dex or any other simple sugar? coz im also on low carb. hope you can gimme some pointers. can i cause an insulin spike by taking whey? i read in bb.com and they say that whey is digested so quickly that it can cause an insulin spike. but how much of whey to cause an insulin spike?

thanks in advance!

thanks for the advice candlejack!

anyways, i just finish reading this article in bb.com http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne3.htm

and since my ON whey is finishing soon. how much is ON Pro Complex? has anyone tried it? issit any good?
or shud i continue using ON Optimum whey and get another ON 100% Casein Protein, meaning 2 seperate products.

Which part of Australia you in?

I highly doubt you can't find supplements over there or the specific ones.

Given that even 7 elevens over there stocks several brand of protein drinks, wheatbix drinks and a lot more health drinks compared to Malaysia.

If you are in Melbourne just take a stroll down town, there are almost as many supplements stores as there are convenience stores.

Cheers

u dont really need carbs to spike your insulin. but then if u r on lowcarb, insulin spike is what u want to avoid

im living in Perth, well theres several aussie products but there arent any 7-11s here lol.. and glucolin i dont think they have it here, can i mix my creatine into my whey+ lowfat milk? and creatine+orange juice no problem too rite?

Creatine plus acidic juices is a big no no! You might as well drink plain water than combining creat and orange juice. Google why.

nowonder i read an article saying its not good to drink creat on empty stomach cuz of the stomach juice... ill google
