Ive been putting creatine into my shakes for a couple months, so the first 15 seconds when you guys were joking about NOT doing it SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME lol. Glad to know im not going to explode haha

When i started taking creatine i was adding it to my BCAA drinks. Then i started taking whey yesterday. Now i add it to my protein shakes before my workout. Depending on how my day is going. I still add it to my BCAA drink before my workout if its early in the morning then take a protein shake post workout

[@andrewjohnson7183]

Just started creatine march 1st. Thanks for the info!

[@colebailey]

It hasn’t done very much for me more than water retention. Things like Ashwaganda help me after intense (take everyday) workouts due to CPK levels and cortisol raises after a workout, salt shots in water, and baking soda for the pain, salt will give a great pump too!

[@brozicevich1585]

How is going man

Have you guys every done reviews of preworkout formulas? Specifically I'm looking for Gorilla Mode reviews.

When’s the best time to take a casin protein shake and creatine and could they be mixed together maybe?

[@keithm1273]

My question is how taking to a whole new level and mix protein powder and creatine with Kefir? 140 calories 18g of real cane sugar and it’s own 10g of protein plus it’s super gut healthy.

[@lirikdauti6163]

I bought a giant tub of protein powder with creatine and my heart skipped a beat he said in the beginning that you shouldnt mix them lol

[@mandodeleon668]

Can you snort Creatine like I snort my pre workout?

Asking the real question.

[@masonmarvin3498]

Yes it works great

[@TheRealFastLaneReno]

Yes

[@Jigsaw_442]

Wait there’s other ways than snorting it?

[@dhaferrabeh]

What do you think about splitting my supplement (whey protein + creatine) intake into two parts, with one before and one after my workout? Taking half of my recommended dosage before exercise and the other half after could help ensure that my muscles are fueled with the necessary nutrients to support growth and recovery. The recommended dosage for whey protein and creatine is generally around 20 grams and 4 grams, respectively. By splitting this dose into two parts, I could take 10 grams of whey protein with 2 grams of creatine before my workout, and then take the remaining 10 grams of whey protein with 2 grams of creatine after my workout. Do you think this is a good idea?

[@ChevyARt15]

It seems reasonable. You are getting the recommended dose either way.

[@nico27ftw]

Always felt like i was losing creatine in a protein shake gets left on the sides of the cup lol

[@TylerEubank]

Does it have a problem mixing with my protein or do i need to find a protein powder that has creatine in it (which are few and far between)

[@user-uq5gb5ro8t]

😂 such a funny question a condescending assumption that everyone is as deep into the fitness rabbit hole as me i guess but researching all your supps i believe is important to know when to use at prime times

Should you mix oxyshred with creatine?

[@raulquintanilla8718]

Is it best to take creatine pre-workout? and post workout?

[@IntegraDIY]

My protein powder has creatine in it from the factory.. it’s good stuff. I like it. But I’m getting a protein powder without it, and I’m getting a higher quality creatine then mix.

[@bbspooks]

What is element tea? Or LMNT or whatever he adds creatine to?

[@alialili499]

The whey protein I bought contains 3g of creatine, should I take 5g of creatine in addition or should I adjust it by flowing 2-3g?

[@earlcoles5215]

Can you mix the creatine with l glutamine and drink it at the same time ? I headd that its not good because they will compete with absorption. Os this true ?

[@anthonyharris1358]

What i did was during loading phase, i loaded up with creatine and water before workouts. Protein shake after workouts. After the loading phase was complete , i put creatine in Protein shake and only.drank AFTER workouts. The results were, with workout swell, drinking the Protein shake mixed with creatine you'd keep that workout swell and add to the swell with every workout Scrawny to buff in 6 weeks.

Can i take these both together???

What about mixing creatine with preworkout?

[@Chris_p_bacon86]

Is it true if it’s not dissolved it goes right through you? Lol saw some video from 11years ago saying that. I don’t see that being true cause all the acids and stuff in the gut probably dissolve it as it is.

[@saahirahmed3323]

Can i combine my whey+creatine with beta alanine in the same protein shake? Will benefits be the same as taking individually?

Have you tried different brands of creatine? I tried the six star brand and it gave me mad headaches but I'm currently using Old School Lab Classic and it have no side effects.

Have you ever used liquid creatine drops they work 10x better than powder, 🤮🤷🏼‍♂️ With powder most gets lost in ur digestive system, the drops get absorbed immediately & works very well 👍🏼✌🏼

[@specialk864]

any particular brand you can recommend?

[@DamionJustin]

Kre Alkalyn is the better?

[@degreaseLLC]

When I started taking creatine I always took it in the morning with my protein shake. Didn't realize I was doing the right thing at the time it just made to take it with my other supplemented aminos.

[@LandonC17]

Hey I’m new to this. Can I take creatine in the morning and protein after workout?

[@degreaseLLC]

@@LandonC17 yes absolutely! Creatine by itself will be very rough on your stomach so keep that in mind. Some can handle it on an empty stomach but I cannot. A protein shake however may not be the best thing by itself after a workout because they tend to be low carb. This is coming from a skinny guy with a fast metabolism so take that into consideration as well. I would advise mixing the creatine with protein or having it with a meal.

[@user-jh7yd9zt5x]

@@degreaseLLC can u explain better...do I take them after workout? Or I take the creatine before workout and take the protein after workout after eating? And what it is the best creatine and protein for a skinny (very) guy?

[@degreaseLLC]

@@user-jh7yd9zt5x it does not matter when u take creatine but studies show that taking it with sodium will increase absorption. Take creatine monohydrate. the brand doesn't matter. no creatine is better or more soluble than others like HCL.

[@jpg1212]

@@user-jh7yd9zt5x it does not matter when you take the creatine as long as you take it daily. Same with protein powder just take as much as you need to get your required protein intake. Doesn’t matter when in the day you take these supplements.

[@TheMightyOdin]

Who knew? I’ve been doing this just for convenience

[@leonardmilcin7798]

Protein powders don't include creatine probably because you want to measure amount of protein and amount of creatine, separately, depending on your current weight and situation.

[@snorlaxcom]

Body Fortress includes 3g of creatine 💪🏼 Pretty nice for a budget brand.

[@finch2213]

If you take 2 scoops for 60g protein.

[@WWERULEZ1000]

@@finch2213 Body Fortress and Six Star are common cheap brands seen in Walmart, Kroger, Meijer, etc. Don't trust them, because you are getting what you pay for them. They advertise 30g of protein per scoop in their protein powders but really what you get is 13g of protein maybe, and 17g of fluff like aminos, flavoring, etc. Better off sticking to whole food sources for protein instead of Body Fortress or Six Star.

[@salterarms2054]

How do you tell that creatine is not properly being absorbed by your body?

If you cannot power through intense workouts

[@Haruyuki_Art]

[@Gian-ni]

can you make these things, (cookies, pancakes, sponge cakes....) with CREATINE powder?

[@Busy422]

A lot of body builders mix Protein powder with Creatine!

[@pvdgucht]

I’ve seen a video once where when they mixed creatine with whey it became a black sludge. Since then I always take it separately… idk 🤷

[@RpgRambo]

Serious Mass is a weight gainer protein which includes creatine in it

[@earlcoles5215]

I doubt that product has the amount of creatine that it says. Id get it individually

[@prettyboibray]

I got pretty big using serious mass. I just hate that you can't really control where you gain the weight. I was working out 2 hrs a day 6 days a week and some of my weight gain went to my face smh. I would use it to bulk if I ever went back to it and use a different product to cut afterwards.

[@craigster1234]

What if you are NOT 'working out' but just going for long walks? Should a person take protein/creatine? Or is it a waste of time?

[@theastronomer5800]

From the research I have done, creatine will help you with recovery and allow you to do more. But, if you don't really get tired/sore on your long walks, it may not do much for you.

[@thedeadman8361]

I heard creatine can register as protein content and can register as upto 150% protein (I think Sean Nalewanyj mentions it in one of his videos). So I think the reason a lot of companies don't include it in protein powders is because it can be misleading and even be seen as a bit of a scam.

[@FarisDeFiedTech]

Creatine is an amino acid 'derivative'. It is not a complete protein it does not contain all the biochemical components that form muscle proteins in the body, when tested it will tell you the individual amino acids along with their quantities. as such any test used to confirm purity of protein will not to see it as a protein, it's compared with a protein reference profile 🤝

What do you mix it with like what liquid

[@Bailark]

I'm sure he means sodium chloride (NaCl), and not sodium (Na). Sodium and water actually will blow up in your cup.

[@eddyecho]

Always cracks me up when beginners focus on marginal things and minor details which matter very little in the grand scheme of things. Be consistent with training, eat enough food/protein, and get enough sleep. Seriously most people that obsess over crap like this dont even do the basics.

[@Nischal_Kandel]

Agreed, but from beginners point of view they dont even know if its a marginal thing or a major important thing they are messing up when starting

[@reheyesd8666]

I'm not a beginner, just researching. I know I dont get enough protein and was wondering if creatine really added anything.
