I like to drink a glass of juice before working out. Could creatine be mixed with juices such as apple/grape juice? Thanks.

It's recommended to take it in with some sugar - grape juice is ideal from what I've read.

I take mine with water - or whatever I'm drinking at the time.

if you take Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) - take it with water in a shot glass, and take it down like a MAN.
then chase it with a full glass of water.

if you take regular creatine mono, i dunno.
i guess you're supposed to take it with a high GI carb liquid every day?

I take my Creatine Mono with a glass of water and just chug it down. Little bit gritty but I don't really care. I think dissolves best in something like Apple or Grape juice or that the sugars in the juice may help it get distributed faster to the muscle fiber.

Water or grape juice is fine for creatine, I've never tried it in apple juice, I guess that would be ok.

I put a scoop right in my mouth and wash it down with gatorade

I put it on my tongue and then just savor the taste until it completely dissolves. Nothing beats the taste of crap with the texture of sand. Then I wash it down with saliva because real men don't use water. :lol:

Sorry, I'm in a silly mood. :p

I heard the acid in some juice actualy destroys some of the createne when you mix the two together.
