What do I need to know about creatine?
I second mixing it with juice, but look for ones that have only natural sugars and not corn syrup or artificial sweeteners. I used white grape juice from frozen concentrate that was 100% juice, because it has the most “flavor-cover” without being syrupy like orange juice. Creatine tastes totally disgusting, but it will work if you are willing to work with it by working out as much as possible. On the bathroom front, I agree that it can get you going more, but remember that you will be drinking one and a half gallons of fluids a day in the loading cycle. Stop drinking all caffeine during the loading period, or go to as little as you possibly need to be ‘regular’. I have found that best results in loading came with drinking one ounce of water for every pound of body fat. So me now: 210 pounds = 210 ounces of water = 1 3/8 gallons of water per day. Yes, that is a lot. But I also do an hour of cardio a day. The worst periods are after I leave the house and I’m not at work or near a public
