Title: Creatine / Caffiene supps
Post by: Nordic Superman on September 13, 2006, 01:57:23 PM
What's the details about taking these simultaneously?

I've read evidence showing the cell volumising effects of creatine are killed off by the duertic effects of the EC stack.

Then I read other evidence contradicting this....

Anyone had any experience mixing the 2?

Also: CEE or mono? Which do you prefer?

Don't believe all the "ad reports"  :D

Anyway, you can mix the two - but why?  You would want to take caffiene before a workout to get energy.  You want to take creatine immediatly afterwards when your body is proven to absorb more nutrients.

Also, I don't think it matters the type of creatine taken, but I do believe CEE is tougher on your kidneys for some reason.  I think because it's "esthered" or something...

My main reason to take Ephedrine and caffiene is to increase my work productivity

No, I would continue creatine suring dieting for sure.  Just use the plain stuff or Kre-akylne.
